christmas cards.. done & done!

i look back at our christmas cards last year and wished i had more time/put in more effort this year.

i had a really cool idea to put the littles together in a themed photoshoot. i was gonna have them nakiesbums just wearing a christmas elf hat with a loopy tail. and it would read "PEACE ON EARTH" in perfect calligraphy with a tonnes of glitter!!
(cos no card is complete without glitter!)

 but.... by the time i get both of them snoozing, im either so darn pooped myself i pass out next to them. or they end up in the wrong ends of the bed and when i shift either one of them, they want to wake up and cuddle again. 

total mama fail.

so i bailed. and got store-bought cards instead.


and dressed it up pretty with stickers and tape...


and got some stickygrams printed and stuck them into the cards. 
and sent them their merry way with tonnes of glitter & kisses.

i guess i'll have to get started on our christmas cards for next year earlier! 
have you sent yours out?

p.s. if you'd like 2 bucks off your stickygram order, 
use "FRIENDEOPP" before your checkout! you're welcome!

  4. The cards are so cute. You are way ahead of me. It looks like you even managed to send your cards before christmas. As for me. I may end up sticking copies of my Buni's school pictures to some cards and then sending them on their way. I know I'm lame.
