to start crafting! This year I have several projects on my list to complete in time for Christmas. I have already finished a couple Christmas gifts for the girls. I have a super top secret project for the Grandma's planned, Christmas cards to make, a couple crochet items to work up, and Christmas photo cards to design! This year, I'm planning on ordering
photo cards from Shutterfly. We've gotten photos printed up from Shutterfly before, and done some other photo crafts too. They have some of the best
calendars, and the options are endless. I make a photo calendar for Tim every year for Father's Day, and you get to personalize it by adding your own dates and occasions too! I've always been pleased with their quality and quick shipping.
Here are some cards I really liked!
Photo Tree Christmas: Isn't this cute? I love that you can use a whole bunch of photos on this one. It's so hard for me to choose just one or two pictures of my darling girls. Of course, it's equally as hard to get a decent picture of both of them smiling and looking at the camera at the same time. I can see this working out great as Christmas photo outtakes! :-)
Snowflake Elegance Noir: This card is clean and classy, but fun at the same time. My girls have matching dresses this year that are black velvet on top with a red bow and red, black, and silver large polka dots on the bottom. We took Christmas pictures of them with the dresses already. I bet this card would be just precious with that photo. Maybe even black and white with just the red highlighted... a little photoshopping!
No Mistletoe Necessary: This is a folded greeting card. I love this one! I have a ton of pictures of the girls giving each other little kisses. I wish I had gotten one of them all dressed up doing that. Inside this card, you can write your own greeting and even add more photos. We write a letter every year, but if you don't have a lot to report or just want to keep it short, this would be perfect for you!
Maybe in a few weeks, you'll find one of these delightful cards in your mailbox... keep watching!
I got some of those great foam rollers at the Co-op... you know the ones my mom used to do my hair with every holiday. Norah loves them. :)
We had a special Friday Night Party Night a couple weeks ago. Norah got to stay up after Maggie went to sleep, watch a movie (Snow White), and the three of us slept on mattresses in the living room. 
Norah even got to make her very own personal pan pizza. That was a mess!
We surprised everyone in WI by showing up for Great Grandma's 80th Birthday. Maggie was a fan of the breadsticks!
Happy Birthday!
Norah and Maggie had a lot of fun playing in the leaves I raked up in the front yard, and there were plenty to go around.
Norah was a cow, and Maggie, Mommy and Daddy were farmers. We did this for Central's Trunk or Treat. It was a really fun time. And they're so cute!
:-D
This is after a little bit of wrestling on the couch. These two are couple of tough girls!
