Yes, I know its not yet Halloween, but I’m already thinking about Christmas cards. I’ve only ever sent out store-bought holiday greeting cards, but last year we decided that this year we would send personalized photo cards, like the ones at Shutterfly. And they have some gorgeous options for Christmas cards:
And even Thanksgiving cards:
I’ve never known anybody to send out Thanksgiving cards. Maybe seeing these will spark a groundswell to start this tradition.
They also have some great Holiday Party invitations. They make me want to have a party just so I can send them out:
But that brings me back to what is missing from my grand plan of ordering beautiful cards and mailing them to all of our friends: the all important photograph. We don’t have kids, so it has to be Mark and I. And maybe Ozzy, but he’s reluctant to participate in group shots, doesn’t go outside, and has a propensity to climb the Christmas tree.
To be able to order, receive, address, and mail out the cards sometime before Valentine’s Day, I NEED to get a photo together. We didn’t visit any exotic location this year, and I don’t think this is the message we want to send:
So does anybody have any ideas for a photo that says “DINKS who like to have good clean fun and have had a great year, and oh, Happy Holidays”? And if it incorporates “Know anybody who wants to buy our house?”, that would be terrific!

These cards are so cute! I always think I'll make them, then I run out of time and buy them at Target. Maybe this year I'll get in gear! :)
