Advent Calendar!!

It's done!!

I am finally done with my Advent Calendar and seriously- just in the nick of time!

I sewed my last ornament last night and couldn't be happier with how it turned out!!

Ornaments

Here are a couple of my favs

Soldier

Angel (inspired by an angel ornament we had on our tree growing up)

Ok I really love them all

 I had a hard time making my ornaments small so if there is a next time making one of these- I will make my tree a bit bigger- but overall- it works!!

It took A LOT of time and work, but I am so glad I did it and think it will make many fun Christmas memories for my children!

Thanks again Jill for the great idea!!

Free Holiday Cards from Shutterfly.....

One of my many FAVORITE things about the holiday season is sending and receiving Christmas cards. It is something I think about and plan for at least 6 months out of the year. As a child, I would love opening the mail each day to see whose Christmas cards we received! 

This year, I came across some amazing cards and a great deal over at Shutterfly

Not only are these holiday cards darling and festive, they are affordable.

So many cute ones to choose from

I love the font on this one

{Holly Jolly}

 Fun and unique design

 {Swirling Ornaments}

Can't go wrong with a little Christmas polka dots

{Seasonal Chic}

I just love everything about this one

{Sage Snowflakes}

(I even left out some of my favorites that I may use for our family's card)

They even have super cute invites for all your Christmas parties you plan to throw!!

{Christmas Ornament Invite}

In the past, I have just made my own Christmas cards, 

but this year, I am having a hard time passing up this great offer
