I'm still here...

Hey all! I'm still here, but still without computer access. bummer, I know! For those that don't follow LITM on Facebook, my laptop died last week. Just stopped working. We've been having some issues with the battery and I stupidly put off getting a new battery. Hopefully getting a new battery will fix the problem, but I won't know that until the end of this week when the battery arrives. If not, we will be getting a new computer. If that happens though, i think I will cry. All of the designs and files I use for me Etsy shop are on the computer! Keep your fingers crossed that it will be a simple fix! Right now I'm using my phone to blog, but this is no way to blog, so you probably won't hear from me until I have a working computer again. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the break and getting ready for Christmas.

See you all soon!!

Our Christmas Card

In years past, I've gone to the trouble of creating a scrapbooked Christmas card to send out during the holidays. It involved cutting out about 30 Christmas trees and stars, a bunch more cute little ornaments, and a stamp. Then I still had to glue everything together. And this was before I owned my Silhouette, so everything was done by hand! Granted, this was also before Andyroo was born, so I had the time and energy. Not so much now. And that's why I love the idea and simplicity of photo cards! It's so easy to upload the pictures to their site, pick a card (the hardest part), drag and drop the photos onto the card, and submit the order. No fuss and NO mess! Yay!

Remember the Shutterfly Party that I hosted? Well, one of the freebies that they gave away was free holiday cards. Here's the card I finally ended up choosing. 'Eh, one of them. I couldn't decide so I ordered a few of a few different kinds!

I can't get over that cute little guy! When we took these pictures in September, he was being silly and in almost every picture we took, he had this kooky Chandler-like smile.

It's not too late to get your cards ordered and sent. I ordered these on November 27th and I received them in the mail today. Super fast! And to top it off, the quality is amazing. I'm totally in love with each of the 5 kinds of cards I ordered! If you're a procrastinator like me, they can always be a generic holiday card or even a New Year's card. Shutterfly is my favorite photo printing site, so if you're still in the market for cards, definitely give them a try. Also, for an additional fee (around $0.50/card), you can give them all the addresses you want to send cards to and they'll mail them out for you. How easy is that!?

Also, the Shutterfly Giveway was extended due to low entries. You now have through December 2nd (that's TOMORROW) to enter the giveaway for free Shutterfly and Plum District Goodies!!!

Go check them out!!
