A little windy outside...

I attempted to take some Christmas photos today. On the windiest day of the year ... Just a small preview of what might be appearing in your mailbox.

Decisions? Decisions?

One of the hardest decisions I love to make regarding Christmas is the style/type of Christmas card will be arriving in the mailboxes of relatives and loved ones. I always send a photo card and always find it difficult to make the decision not only with the chosen photo, but the card that fits the photo. This year the decision may be as difficult as every with the wide selection I have found via Tiny Prints. Oh. My. Goodness. The crazy amount of photo cards available - the colors, the style, the number of photos ... the ideas are too good to be true. Here are some that caught my eye...

I have a good idea of the photo I want to do (if I get around to taking it & my daughter cooperates). So, I think that these 1st two options would be perfect choices.

I love this one because it can easily hang on the Christmas tree (maybe year after year), or from a cabinet knob. So cute! And unique! This card caught by eye because of the simple, retro feel. If only it would snow like this where I live for a "White Christmas".

One word ... Chevron (pattern). Love the wild, colorful, and playful card. It reminds me of our summer and one of those photos would coordinate well, if my original idea doesn't happen.

And, this card recaps the favorite memories from 2011. How great to give a glimpse of a wonderful year to loved ones. And, you can see how the little ones have changed/grown up throughout the year.

With hundreds of options to choose from, this decision could take a while.

Happy Halloween!

This year Halloween was just as fun as ever. Ellie was all about her costume this year, which you will see below. However, before we could go trick or treating we had Trunk & Treat at church on Sunday evening. As usual, we had a wonderful time. This year's contest was carved/painted pumpkins with all funds raised going to the TN Baptist Children's Home. This was the winning pumpkin of the night.
And, this is the costume Ellie could not get enough of. She had is laid out in her bedroom floor as if she slid out from it or could draw a chalk line around it. There were times I thought she would actually sleep in it or wear it to school. And along the way to gathering up way too much candy, we ran into Darth Vader & Ewok. Watch out evil villains because BatGirl will get ya!

Hope your Halloween was wonderful and frightfully scary!
