Yes, i thought the same thing- and I am pretty sure that it WAS just July 4th and we’ve entered some sort of alternate reality time warp…
As anyone who really knows me could tell you, I believe in completely OCD thorough Holiday preparedness. I begin shopping early, and planning so that everything stays as stress free as possible. I have the privilege of seeing (from a distance) my best friend practice her holidays in the exact opposite manner, every year, and it makes me less annoyed at myself. :)
I could tell you though, what day we are cutting down our tree. I could tell you exactly how it will be decorated. I could tell you who I’m making gifts for, who i am buying them for and what foods I will cook vs. buy on all three celebrated winter holidays. I am typically so on top of it that every year I offer to help the a fore mentioned best friend. She never lets me. I think I scare her. Whatever. :)
This year I have partnered with Shutterfly to help three of my readers get ahead on their Holiday cards… (If you aren’t familiar with Shutterfly, then I recommend you acquaint yourself. I did my sister’s birth announcements last year and they were absolutely lovely!) They have beautiful quality and their selections are truly incomparable. {Also, on a sidenote, their new Custom Path photo books kind of rock my world and I want to make about a trillion of them…}
Anyway, back to Christmas stuff… Chw and I sat down with steaming cups of orange tea and poured over their VAST array of choices so that we could share our favorites with you.
These were our five agreed upon favorites…
I like the retro stripe frame! And if I win, you can just use that family – they're better looking. :) Haha! Any linking and time stamping, etc, makes my slowwwww internet connection want to die with a gasp so I hope a comment is good enough to be in the runnin. You have my email. I think.
"We Are Blessed" is the one I really liked! Not sure how to "link" it back… We need to chatch up!!!Dandy

66 days until X-mas?! Are you freaking kidding me?! *hyperventilates* Shutterfly is awesome. "We Believe" folding card design is adorable!
I like the first one and the third one. (Falalalalala and Film Strips) I did not choose them because they both start with F. I just like their aesthetics the best. It's too early for me to be thinking holidaze. I'll wait 'til mid-November to crash that party, but I am always in awe of people who are uber-prepared. Oh, to have that kind of time on one's hands!
I don't send Christmas cards, but if I did I would enter this and I would choose the Fa,la, la, la… one. It's cute!
I like the Merry Montage design :-)
It was SO hard to pick a design – pick ONE design. There are several I liked. I finally decided on the Sparkling Snowflake.
I like the Mod Holly design. sugary79@aol.com
