I finished my Christmas cards tonight!

[Jermys]

Except for the ones that need a school picture of E, because I didn't order enough

I need to figure out how to do this as a side business.  Like people have their cards sent to me, I address, stamp and mail them.  I love doing cards.  

[Jermys]

Oh my god, I loved doing my invitations. I'm weird, aren't I?

[meggers5]

So, when should I expect my card?

[TrudyCampbell]

I'm impressed! I love doing cards too. It's like the highlight of my year.

[candreco]

That's just sick, lol. I'm jealous, I'm always doing mine the week before Christmas, after several failed attempts at getting a reasonably festive photo of cranky kids.

I send them out December first.  No sooner, no later.

Say what???

I bow to your awesomeness!

Clearly you need me! But seriously, get the photo now.

Me too! I get so annoyed with how late most people send them.

Rigid timing. I like that.

WHATEVER.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using proboards

DH was working last Thanksgiving so the kids and I did our cards as a Thanksgiving "craft." (Stamping, labeling and stuffing.)
We sent them out soon after. We got some crap from my family about them being so early and then later accused of not sending them because they didn't remember!

This year I have the labels printed but have not yet bought stamps. I love getting them done early because they are one more stressor for me during the holidays. The cards are done.

I haven't figured out outfits for a picture yet.  

[miniroller]

What if the 1st is on a Sunday?!??! Hmmm...? I'm just jealous- EVERY year I say they'll be out by the 5th (& fail 98% of the time ). This year... This Year!!!

I WANT ONE!!!

I'm pretty sure you're on my list...I sent you one last year, right?

[bonquiqui]

Overachiever

[Jermys]

Only with Christmas cards

[lime]

Holy shit, dude. I haven't even bought Halloween candy yet.

[angelaa73]

can i see a mockup?

[daisyheadmaizie]

I haven't even scheduled pictures to put in the damn cards yet, let alone found cards...

I am impressed. I bet they are super cute.

I thought I was early, already having ordered and received ours. We usually send ours out the night before Thanksgiving, so people get them that Friday/Saturday, at the earliest.

But this year, I received our cards, and the color is all off, so Shutterfly is reprinting them. I hope the second batch turns out better than the first. If not, we'll be using a different company in the future.

Oh my.

I was hoping to get things done early this year, which means ordering them before Thanksgiving. The goal is to have them written, addressed and stamped before the baby arrives then shove a picture into the envelope and get them out on the 20th of December or so.
