Our First Christmas Card

I really get into Christmas cards. Back in college, I bought el cheapos at Dollar Tree the minute they hit the shelves (in early November), filled them out, and anxiously waited until December 1st to drop them in the mail. You get it; no-one wants to be the first overachiever of the season. But alas, here I am again. We've had these since November, patiently (or not so patiently) stalling to send them out. Last Thursday I took the plunge. Feeling so much better now. ps- Sorry these pictures are so dark! Still figuring out the new camera. I love it but it doesn't much like me.

Please excuse my weak attempt at covering up addresses....

Michaels had stamp sets on sale for $4.99 (ten stamps, two ink pads, AND two glitter pens!) at the end of November, so I snatched one up and used the stamps on the seal of our envelopes.

Yes, we are not "wishing", but rather "wising" you festive love and holiday kisses. If I hadn't mentioned it, bet you would've been none the wiser. Pun totally intended.

We also filled out cards to send to the troops this year, which is quickly becoming a tradition that we value very much. They are done collecting for Christmas '11, but any you send here between now and the end of next November will be sent for Christmas 2012. Please, please take part in this amazing operation. Our heroes deserve love and appreciation at Christmastime and all year through.
