Invitation for my future party

5 x 7 photocard with room for 5 pictures

Today was the first Sunday of advent. Usually I am pretty much done with Christmas Shopping by Thanksgiving but this year I am behind. I am involved with a few more things, have three kids, have a husband who is involved with a few more things, I have three kids. The candle that was lit at church today represents HOPE.

One of my favorite FAVORITE favorite things about Christmas is sending Christmas cards. I am getting close to sending 100 of them this year! Via my friend's blog I found out that Shutterfly is hosting a give way to bloggers that blog about their Shutterfly Christmas Cards. (Are you a blogger?

I've used Shutterfly for many kinds of cards in the past. I love their Christmas Photo Cards. I always choose designs that you can put more than one card on. I love taking pics of my kids and then sending them on the people around the world! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards . I messed around a designed a few of those as well.

This year I started looking at these beautiful stationary cards they are offering. I've never ordered in large quantities because of the price but they are gorgeous! I designed a few. You can see them at the top of the post.

I've been wanting to make a http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/wall-calendars calendar for sometime now but have not done so. This might be the year I stare at my own flowers instead of buying a calendar with someone else's photograph's in them.

I've always wanted to host a Christmas Cocktail party for adults only. Not sure when I will get to realize my dream but Shuterfly has the perfect invitation for me to use. It too is at the top of the post. Check out all the Christmas Invitations that Shutterfly has to offer herehttp://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-invitations

Just to be clear. . . there will be no party this year but I can dream about a party for adults in cocktail attire! How fun would that be!!

Merry Christmas to all! If you are on my list of just under a 100. . . look out for our card this year you might just be getting a shutterfly card in your mailbox!
