Gift tags, Stockings and cookies!

Today I spent the better half of my afternoon along side my beloved Cricut. I just got the SCAL program (LOVE IT!! Early xmas present from Hubby) I started making some gift tags! I still have a few more sheets to go but I have a nice start. I also cut up some vinyl and decorated a "cookies for Santa" plate! After all the man in red needs something nice for his cookies.




Since I do not have a fire place our stockings have never really had home. Last week I started on a stocking hanger board. I painted it dark red, ruffed up and stained the edges then added vinyl. Viola! I absolutely love the way it turned out!

A greeting from Santa!

I found this really neat site where you can personalize a video from Santa for your kids! I made one for my daughter and she just LOVED it! She was so amazed with how much he knew about her! Here is the one I made!


Jibjab is another site where you can make a funny holiday greeting that has your whole family involved!

What I've been up too....

Yes, I have been away for a few days. With good reason! This week we set up the tree, decorated house inside and out, gingerbread houses, pictures with Santa, attempted at family photos, finishing up gift shopping and I've also been working on a few homemade gifts!

Time for Christmas cards!

Now that Thanksgiving is over it's time to get on the ball and mail out those Christmas cards! Each year I have always been a little bit slow with sending them out and end up having to send them as New Years cards but this year I would like them to be on time!
Photo cards have to be my favorite of all. I know everyone we send them too loves seeing our smiley faces! After all when you add a photo too the card you are sure to put a smile on their face too!! I have used Shutterfly in the past for my sons birth announcements. I got them in such a timely manner and the quality was awesome not to mention the great price! I also use the site for my photo storage so I do not lose all my precious pictures. Storage is for free by the way.
I have been looking threw these photos for this years cards. I really like that they have a selection of the not so tradition cards.
Here are some I like:







They even have a huge selection of address labels you can add to your cards!





I have also been thinking about Christmas gift ideas! Here is one of the calendars I like:



And you can't forget gift tags!





Shutterfly has everything for your holiday needs!
