treasure60 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Greeting Cards that are personalized or store bought? We used to have the family pic. and have it personalized when my children all lived at home. Now I just buy the ones that are personalized with a special saying and each family members name.

alimfp Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Store bought, but I sign every card at least. I just don't have the time (or strength, I cannot write much without my wrist going numb) to write much more than, "Happy Holidays. Love, and our names". LOL.

dorkydiva Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I used to get store bought and sign them all. Last year I did the photo cards at WM and will probably do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalle1212 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I used to buy cards, leave a little note in some and put a wallet sized pic of the kids. This year I am taking my own pic of the kids, getting the picture cards from yahoo photos mailed to me sending them out and calling it a day.

bayhaysay Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 We do picture cards every year. I usually take the picture myself (I love a good snapshot) then take my memory card to Walmart, do the 1 hour thing and they're ready to mail.

Gporter34 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 We send out store bought cards, usually bought after Christmas, and put a recent family picture in each one and everyone signs them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebusylife Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I started making my own cards a few years ago and like doing it better than buying cards. I stencil, color, sticker, stamp, you name it!LOL Every card is a one-of-a-kind! I do tuck in a pic of the family or kids each year. I also usually write a quick note in each and sign them with all our names. I do it over a few weeks, that way it doesn't seem like too much work.

aeraen Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Store bought... I've always hated the picture cards (personal opinion, I'm sure most people like receiving them). I usually buy my cards at the after-Christmas sale the year before, and start signing them around October or early November. Sometimes I include pictures of the kids or the family from one of our trips, but if I don't have any particularly good shots I just skip that part. School pics NEVER turn out for my kids, and we stopped buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wf2afcop Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I am a scrapbooker so I make all my cards, most people get a picture of my kids during an event during the year, this year I took pictures with them and their pumpkins and each person gets a personal note inside the card. Cards take me FOREVER and a day to do, but they are done waiting for Saturday to be mailed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msomnipotent Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I used to buy store bought ones and personalize them by adding pictures and a short note inside. Not the brag letters people send out every year, but a quick how ya do kind of thing. I found out everyone, even my grandmother, was just throwing them away, so I stopped sending them. It's a waste of money to me now. I keep all of mine and string them up along my banisters to use a decorations. I guess I am the only one in my family that keeps them.

Kimp67 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 store bought here, personal note in each. Last year started using red & green glitter-gel pens to put more of a Christmas touch in them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kygal2003 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I always buy store bought cards, but personalize each one that we send out with "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love (our names)...Then I include a Christmas photo of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG480 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Store bought, but I sign every card at least. I just don't have the time (or strength, I cannot write much without my wrist going numb) to write much more than, "Happy Holidays. Love, and our names". LOL.I am the same way. When my kids were younger I use to write notes in each card make sure I said someting personal to everyone I sent a card to made sure there was pictures of all the kids. Now that they are grown. I just made sure there is a little note to each person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
