Shutterfly!

Okay, I admit it. I'm not as crafty during this season as I had been in my previous life. I used to actually craft all my cards by hand. Well, by rubberstamping most and using a photo of either my pets or a painting I did that past year. Lately, I just either haven't had the time or the energy to want to even consider this anymore. Plus, with my large extended family, I really just don't want to think about it. However, I am going to go tech this year. I think I've also found the perfect card to do this year.

And, while yes, I do have blonde cousins (I have them in all hair colors actually... I'm a mutt... hee hee) there is no way I would have children that blonde. So, this comes directly from Shutterfly. Plus, I don't have kids so getting this EXACT card from me would really make the family gossip go flying! lol So, I was thinking on taking this card and put my pets on the front (hey, they are my babies after all). Plus, there is a little area where I can make up a funny blurb under the photo. Now all I have to do is take a few dozen pics and chose what would work best with some sort of strange blurb. *puts thinking cap on*

Well, now I'm actually a bit excited about doing this. Got some of my creative juices flowing without making me cringe on how many of these I would have had to do by hand. *cringe* <-see! Plus, I can expand this idea from the Christmas cards to address labels (if I really want to look snazzy) or even calenders so I can make them stare at my babies all year round! *evil laugh* Seriously, though, I have considered putting my doberman on a mug because you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find doberman stuff. *exasperated huff* Guess I'll have to see how photogenic he is when I take those pictures. Start brushing that fur kids!
