I’ll be sending mine out this week. Email me to exchange them magallanesmelinda @yahoo. com.

I do love the stamp idea and will definitely have to try that one year. One of my teachers in elementary school got our signatures on a stamp. I still have that stamp.

I made my cards just one year also. I’m a crafter and a stamper and make cards all the time, but it was hard to make all of my Christmas cards. Now we just do the picture, no card. I keep saying that when our lives get more exciting that I’ll start to write Christmas letters, but well, we haven’t gotten there yet.

I love all your recent holiday posts. We do the cards every year, with a picture but no letter. I’ve never attempted my own cards…I let the kind people at Walgreens handle them every year.

We do cards every year–we are trying to figure out how to save $ and I suggested not doing them this year, but dh really wants to–plus I don’t want to get dropped off anyone’s list, I love getting them! I also love seeing the pics esp. of kids.

I havn’t done the letter thing–we get a few braggy boring ones–and then one we always look forward to every year that is touching and well-written and makes me cry every time–if I could write one like that I would do it!

We attempted to get a picture at the beach yesterday–I think we took 30-40 pictures and NOT ONE is good! Somebody is always looking the wrong way or making a dumb face.

I have never attempted to make my own–I know my limits!

Love the sig. stamp idea–you are so creative and so good at making things special!

I started sending out ours a few days ago, did you get yours yet?
I made our cards 3 years in a row but I stopped once K was born, not enough time to get them done, so now I let Costco do the work and all I have to do is take 1(or60) pictures of the kids. LOL

I made cards one year. ONE year. Never again. I like the signature stamp idea. I’ll have to figure out where I could get that done around here. Haven’t done my cards yet this year. Just not feeling motivated, but it is my goal for this week.

I love the signature stamp idea! I’ll have to remember to do that once more than 1 out of 3 kids can write their names =). I’d love to exchange cards with you and keep your kids on my fridge - just shoot me an e-mail at momwholoveschrist@hotmail.com.

Nicki, I am loving your newest series of posts! One tradition, one favorite thing, perfect!
We just finished addressing our cards and they are on their way out. We’ve never done a newsletter, although I’ve considered it and even written a few drafts. Our tradition has the kids Grandmas taking the pictures sometime over Thanksgiving then I print at Costco, exciting huh?
