Christmas Card Carousel - 2009!

Welcome to the Christmas Card Carousel! I’m so glad you stopped by. Giving and receiving Christmas cards is one of my very favorite parts of the Christmas season!




This year, putting our Christmas Card together was a lot harder for me than before. My brother took some awesome photos of us recently and I knew that I wanted to use one, however deciding which one was the hard part! I think I came up with about four or five different card designs and debated and debated over which one to use.
It was such a hard decision, but I finally decided on this design. It was a little different for me, but I really liked it and was excited about using it for our card this year.

BUT, I was so disappointed when our prints came in and there was a big green dot on my nose – and as much as I love polka dots, it was not supposed to be there! So, I had them reprinted, and they came messed up, AGAIN!
We were getting down to the wire so I couldn’t take a chance on having them printed again, so I decided to go with one of the other designs.
So, this is what went in the mail and I love it too!
We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas! May you know the peace, love and joy that’s found in Christ alone.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Now, it’s your turn to join in the fun and share your Christmas card with us. I can’t wait…I’m off to visit now!

    I love both of them! That stinks that the first ones got messed up twice! But everyone will love the second ones just the same!

    Merry Christmas! ;)

    I got your card and I love it! You guys are so cute.

    I am incredibly behind this year and haven't had the chance to do our cards. It's driving me crazy with Eric gone all the time. I'm still holding out hope, but may have to let it go this year.
