I recently posted about shopping for this years holiday cards for our family to send out and am happy to announce that I made a decision and the cards have been printed and delivered to the house.  Now I just need to start addressing envelopes and get them sent out.  I am hoping to have them all addressed and ready to go within the next two weeks just to ensure that when it is time to get them in the mailbox they are ready to go!

This year we made the decision to get our cards from Tiny Prints because in all honesty, they were the company that met all of our needs and had our favorite design.  When I say our, I mean our entire family made the decision to choose the card we did, which pictures were used and everyone gave their final approval before the order was submitted.

As an added bonus, on November 9th, 2011, you can take advantage of Tiny Prints 1 Day Promotion and receive a FREE card to your kids from Santa Claus by visiting the Tiny Prints Facebook Page and personalizing one of two great cards!  This offer ends on 11/9/11 at 11:59 PM (PT)

The great news is that our family has partnered with Tiny Prints to bring you an awesome giveaway to win 50 Holiday Cards for your family to send out this holiday season!

Can you believe it?  As of today, there are only 63 days left until Christmas.
I have been working hard to get things in order around here since we are anticipating having a baby right around the same time.
AHHH!
I know, we are C-R-A-Z-Y!!!
One thing that I really like to make sure is done prior to Thanksgiving is place my order for our Christmas Cards that we mail out to our family and friends.

I like to start looking at holiday card designs as soon as websites start advertising that their new designs are available and then I have to find the perfect card to go with the perfect picture or pictures of the kids.

This year, I’ve been ‘window’ shopping for cards at Tiny Prints and have found a few designs that I really love.

These are my top 3 choices

I love to choose cards with multiple picture spaces so everyone gets their own little spot to display their personality.

Now that I have it narrowed down to 3 cards, I have to find the best pictures to go with them….this is not an easy task. Plus, I have to decide if I should include an ultrasound picture of Baby Bean on the card as well or do I wait for her to make her greeting card debut next Christmas??

Decisions, decisions.
What is a mom to do?

Tell me, what helps you decide which holiday card your family sends out??

The thing I love most about the holiday season is sending out Christmas cards to those who are near and dear to our family. Each year, I design a card covered in pictures of the kids and send them out. This year, I plan on doing the same. I do already have our Christmas photo cards in my hands and they are all stamped and sealed and waiting to go out in the mail. (Can you believe they’ve been ready since October!?)

However, this year, I want to do something else.
Something new.
Since I have so many new friends that exist in the blogosphere and Twitterverse, I want to send holiday cards to them too!

Right now, I’m looking at all of the awesome new holiday designs that Shutterfly offers and I’m mulling over a few of them.

(Please note that those are NOT my children nor is that my family. These are images from Shutterfly.com)

See how cute all 3 of those designs are?
Now do you understand why I am finding it hard to make a decision?

Anyways, if you want to receive a holiday card from The Megalomaniac Family, I would LOVE to send you one!
The 1st 50 people to fill out my contact form leaving me their mailing information will receive one!
(I will update this post when all 50 spots have been filled.)

So….what are you waiting for?
Fill out the form so I can send you one of our ridiculously cute cards!!
And, if you’re in the holiday spirit, pop over to Shutterfly and get your cards!
**Please put Holiday Card in the Subject line and your name and address in the message box.**

Sending out cards for the holiday season is one of my favorite things to do, especially when they don pictures of my kids. Last year, I custom designed photo cards. The year before that, I sent out standard greeting cards in which I signed everyone in the families name too. This year…..this year our holiday card will knock socks off!

Why is that?

Because this year, we had the chance to order ours from Paperspring.

Paperspring offers fresh ideas on paper so you can capture, share and celebrate the important moments in life. Paperspring’s range of products includes photo birth announcements, baby shower invitations, holiday cards, greeting cards, thank you cards, birthday party invitations and personalized stationery. All of Paperspring’s matte cards are printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled thick card stock.

Check it out for yourself!

Is that not the cutest card ever?

These cards also came with envelopes (and you can order additional for $0.20 each) and when they arrived at our home, they were bundled together by a ribbon.

It was cute!

I can’t wait for the holiday season to arrive so I can mail them out to our friends and family!
