Connect with a Christmas Card - Tips, Printables and a Deal!

Christmas cards...one of the things that is still nice to get this time of year.  In the age of e-mail, Facebook, texting, social media, blogs...we don't have much old fashioned letter writing or communication.


So take time this season to connect with family and friends with a card or photo.

Here is a handy Christmas Card List template that I am using this year that makes it easy to get organized for this task.


This enables you to know exactly how many cards and stamps to order or purchase.  You also have the addresses in one place.  Perfect!

Speaking of ordering...here is a sweet deal for photo Christmas cards...


Click on this link and you should be able to get 50 photo cards for $5 through Staples!  You will purchase the Groupon - order your photo cards online using the Groupon code - and by the next day, you will have your photo cards ready to address and mail!


Why not do regular Christmas cards for someone?  A lady in our church organizes cards to send to the soldiers.  You could address a box of cards and give them out at a local nursing home to the residents.  I purchased boxes of beautiful cards for 75% off after Christmas last year.  You save money and you don't have to even go to the store to start working on them. :)


How about a Christmas letter instead of a card to family and friends?  Here is a great article with tips and ideas on how to write that perfect yearly letter.


So, get started today!  You still have plenty of time for this project for this Christmas season. :)

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
