christmas cards

have you sent out christmas cards yet? i was so impressed by my friends who were so on top of it and got their cards out the day after thanksgiving! we love checking the mail each day to see what cards have arrived.

since it is our first married christmas, i was particularly excited to send out a card this year (and thanks to the wedding list i actually had all the addresses i needed right at my fingertips).

my friend emelie has opened a new design business here in oxford, so i called on her for the job.

some people saw a card using one of my wedding photos on her facebook page, she used it as a sample when selling her cards. it was really pretty, but for some reason i didn't want to use a wedding photo!



i really wanted a picture of me, lewis and minnie lou. it took about a million tries to get one that i was pleased with... thanks to my sister-in-law amy for capturing the best one!



so whether you receive one in the mail or not, here's wishing you a happy holiday season!  ( and if you still need someone to make some excellent christmas cards, check out  town square designs)

so incredibly impressed with the fact that you got such a great shot with ML in there! we tried that last year and, as a result, have endless black/white blurs mixed in with pictures of us. we gave up on it and didn't even attempt this year. now, i am wondering if it would have worked better since potter is a whole year older and much closer to being out of the puppy stage!
also, had no idea about emilee's biz! don't know how i missed it, but that is good to know!
