Princess7915 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I have made my for the last several years. But it's expensive so in light of trying to cut back this year I bought mine last week. I try to get them mailed out just after Thanksgiving. You have to have a "target date" when you make them. It can be a long process!
CocoaDiva43 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I have fill in all my christmas cards,for the family and card exchange:)
lcplwinkerswife Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 bought my cards today now i just have to take a picture of my dog in his santa outfit and ill be good to go!
Christy Garner Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Got my cards personalized from Miles Kimball - now i am just waiting on having a weeknight to just sit down and actually get them done so they can go in the mail the day after Thanksgiving
lisajonathan00 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I have most of my list ready to go. I was looking at mine for the last week saying I am gonna do that next weekend. After election day. So I guess I will be working on them tomorrow, unless I get more kids to babysit as some of the families need rest for those who had husbands as a candidate. Anyway mine will be addressed by Friday and print pictures Friday and Sign them Saturday and just wait to mail them out till BF!!
allshoppedout Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Does anyone have holiday stamps yet? Know when the Post Office is releasing them?
ToastyOasty Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I am totally done with all my Christmas cards i've always wanted to use that lil guy
lcplwinkerswife Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Does anyone have holiday stamps yet? Know when the Post Office is releasing them?they are out. I got some of the Holiday nutcracker ones. Done with one batch of cards with the photo in it . Next cards are just to my husbands friends in the military and distant family members.
mclarnan Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I bought my cards last year after Christmas. I won't start mailing them until the second week of December.

allshoppedout Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I am excited. After revising my list I saw that I didn't have enough cards but managed to find some yesterday for a good price. Also got the stamps!!I will be doing the cards while my kids go bowling this a.m.
Guest HoosierShadow Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 OMG you guys are a riot! But I love being able to post with people who enjoy the holidays so much! My husband is just no fun! I know in his own way he loves holidays, but he HATES to spend $$ and when I talk about holidays he wants to go another direction! I want to try and get my own pics of our kids this year and make some photo cards. My only problem is I don't have much natural light in the house, and I want to do it in front of the tree....but we don't put the tree up until Thanksgiving! I have all the camera equipment I need so I REALLY do not want to go to a studio..... Otherwise, I am all for getting Christmas cards ready NOW!
Bella2kids Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Wrote them out last night and relieved they are done. Just need to buy stamps. I am glad to hear the Christmas stamps are out.

allshoppedout Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I am disappointed. We have experienced a COLD and a BIG SCRATCH one on each of the faces of my boys in the past week--and so I STILL cannot take the picture that I want to have printed and put inside my already finished cards..... I don't know how to do photoshop stuff. I mean I can correct red-eye on digital pics, but that is about it. I can't fix a big scratch. Not that it is late, I am just wishing to be done with them, you know. Good for you jenrein and justjessie99, start the festivities bring on the crafts
