CHRISTMAS LABELS

Thank you to all you bloggers out there who helped me to find some unusual stationery items. One Fabulous Mom introduced me to Little Beane Boutique and I ordered these adorable address labels to seal my Christmas Cards.

MY CHRISTMAS CARD UNWRAPPED!

Well, here it is, my Christmas card for 2008--a custom made silhouette of my children and our dog made by Le Papier Studios. The top version is my Christmas card and the bottom is a 5x7 for framing.

I am planning to put a little black and white picture on the inside of the card so people really know what my kids look like and how they have grown. This years effort is a little outside my usual picture, but I think it is fun. I will share what I do with my cards every year at a later date.

I would love to hear what you are doing for your card this year!

I LOVE FINE STATIONERY!

A really lovely new blog (at least new to me) is The Finer Things. I wrote a note asking for advice for my parent's 50th Anniversary party that is in 6 weeks and am heading toward a gold and brown theme. This is the beautiful post that was put together by Kati for little ole' me! I feel so honored! Make sure you check out Kati's other beautiful posts including a Prirate Party inspired by One Fabulous Mom. Thank you Finer Things and my favorite stationery company, Fine Stationery.
