I
get a little Christmas crazy. Although I mostly leave my shopping to the last minute {tsk, tsk} I love the planning. I love writing lists, planning the menu and searching for the perfect Christmas card.
Before Lacey, I loved traditional Christmas cards, sometimes I would make my own, sometimes I would purchase them in stores… either way I loved the whole process. Now I have Lacey we’ve been sending a little photo card of her. Look at me talking like I’ve made a life long tradition of photo cards… when she’s only been here for one Christmas so far! Last year, you might remember, we took her down to the beach dressed as a mini Santa and snapped some photos and stuck them on card. A huge effort given how sleep deprived I was back then.
This year I am going to let someone do all the hard work for me. I’ve already purchased my design {ssshh it’s a secret}, but here are some others that I thought were quite cute. They’re pretty affordable too {around the US$15 mark, and you can print them yourself}.

I know photo cards aren’t every one’s cup of tea {or eggnog} so I’ll be back later today with some other Christmas Cards I love. ♥
Vistaprint have 75% off christmas card at the moment…
I dressed my little Jaz up in a christmas angel outfit and then designed the card. I got 20 postcards plus matching (colour!!) enevelopes for $3.49!!! Yep, thats Aussie dollars!!
I can't wait for the postman to arrive….

I have always used a traditional card but then put a copy of a photo with Chloe on Santa's lap inside the card.
And I always try to be the first card out every year!
Those cards are beautiful; what a lovely idea.
I have been so slack in sending Christmas cards the last couple of years though. But a cute pic of the little one could be exactly the inspiration I needed…
@Megan: Thanks for the heads up! That's an amazing bargain. 🙂
@Lucy: Don't tell anyone, but so do I! xx
@Megan: Go on, do it! xx

Hi Megan,
Are you able to link me to where you found the 75% off Christmas cards from Vistaprint? I am having a little trouble..
Awesome I thought I'd let you know if you needed to print yours, I've already designed mine & had it printed from Shutterfly.com and got 50 cards for free and only ended up paying 5 bucks for it.
I hope you'll show us your cards later! 🙂
