Tis the Season to by Jolly!

My favorite season is almost here. Living in Florida, our seasons are basically, summer, summer, summer and summer. I can't do anything about the fact that we wear shorts on Christmas Day, but I can decorate my house, light my candles and pretend that its snowing outside!




Now that I have Maxon, one of my favorite things about Christmastime is sending out our Christmas cards. Maxon is such a cute kid and I love showing him off every chance I get. Last year, I got these Christmas cards.









They have a hole punched and come with ribbon to make them an ornament. I remember seeing them on my family's trees through the whole season. Love it.




This year's selection of cards is awesome possum. Seriously. I kept scrolling and thinking, "This has to be the end" and then I see that I'm not even halfway done. Their artists had to be working overtime all of 2012 to get all these styles.




I am really big on having "Merry Christmas" on my cards, not seasons or holidays, but the genuine Christmas. So I was pleased to see so many religious cards in cute designs. I may want to say "Merry Christmas," but I still like a stylish polka dot or chevron. Tiny Prints delivers style and the message.









With so much going on in life, I like the idea of a year in review card, rather than the age old letter.







This is one of the new styles for the ornament. So classic and pretty. Of course I may be drawn to that snow. Lucky ducks.






This year, Tiny Prints is offering a great giveaway! One random comment on this post will receive $50 off an order of holiday cards at Tiny Prints! All you have to do is comment on this post and tell me what you love about the holidays! Easy peasy!




The giveaway will close on October 28, 2012. One lucky winner will be selected to win a code for $50 off their Tiny Prints order (does not include shipping & cannot be combined with any other promos).

Shutterfly Christmas Cards

I ordered Maxon's birth announcements from Shutterfly using my free coupon from Motherhood Maternity. I was VERY pleased with their paper and the quality of the cards- so professional and yet so affordable! I decided that it didn't matter what deals I got from other places, my Christmas cards were coming from Shutterfly.

Above is Maxon's birth announcement from Shutterfly- so classic and modern at the same time.

So I was reading in my Google Reader and I see that Shutterfly is giving away free prints for sharing your story on your blog! How cool is that?? Head here to see what its all about. As for me... I"m taking this adorable picture and figuring out our Christmas cards!
