It’s that time of year when I usually start thinking about what cards I’ll be sending out to family and friends.  Last year I totally procrastinated and ended up not sending out any.  At all.  I know, I suck sometimes.  But not this year.  I’m determined to send out cool and unique Christmas cards this year, and already have my mailing list mostly updated so I don’t leave anyone out.

I’m also always on the lookout for unique deer cards since I’m as passionate about collecting deer items as Princess Nagger is about collecting dinosaur items.  Of course it’s much easier to find cool deer Christmas cards this time of year than it is to find dinosaur ones, or I might have considered letting her have a say in the design of them.  Maybe next year.

I love it when I get a photo card – my brother and his wife are awesome about making sure we get one every year so we can see how big the twins are getting.  I usually buy ‘regular’ Christmas cards and include pictures of Princess Nagger, but this year I thought it would be fun to do photo cards.  Storkie Express helped me get the ball rolling.

I browsed through their selection of Holiday cards (and they have tons to choose from) and finally found one that I knew my friends and family would recognize as from me (aside from Princess Nagger’s mug being on it):

The scanned image doesn’t show the vibrant color it is – sorry about that, but you get the idea.  I was in a hurry to take these for a test drive, so I used this year’s school picture of Princess Nagger – since there are only 20 in the box, I’ll be ordering more (and selecting a couple of different ones – good to have variety) with a picture I’ll take special for the cards.  I love these, though!  I love how they turned out, they are high quality and something I’ll proudly send off to my family and friends this year.

Making the selection and customizing them was really easy – they have helpful hints every step along they way, so even if you’re technology challenged, you’ll have no problem looking like a pro customizing cards of your own.  From choosing the style to selecting what verbiage you want on the cards (and even that is totally customizable, too – you can have it say exactly what you want it to!) it was all very easy.  When I made a mistake on my final order, they were quick in responding to my desperate email – and fixed it for me.  All the contact I’ve had with them thus far has been friendly and professional – exactly the kind of company I want to do business with.

It’s not too late – you have plenty of time to pick your own cool cards to mail out.  I highly recommend them.  They have plenty to choose from – even non-photo versions for those who like cool basic cards.

Do you send out Holiday cards?  And if so, when do you usually send them out?  Oh, and if you want to be added to my Holiday Card list, email me – I’ll be happy to send you a fun card, too.
