Christmas Cards, Calendars, and Gift Tags

Next week is Thanksgiving, so over the weekend I will be putting away all of the fall decor and dragging in all of the Christmas Rubbermaid bins.  This time next week it will begin to look a lot like Christmas at the Harris' house!! I love this time of year and even more so this year as the boys are really getting into seeing all things Christmas minus Santa (that's an entire different post). Along with putting up our decorations, I will also begin  preparing our Christmas Cards. I love sending Christmas Cards almost as much as I love receiving them.  I always send Christmas Cards with our family picture.  I am thinking of adding a little something to this year's Christmas card, we'll have to see if I can keep a secret that long:)


I have also found a fun way to display all the cards we get.  I love having them up through Christmas and the New Year.  I don't write one, but love reading other families Christmas letters.  I feel like my blog is enough of a letter. 

This year our cards will be coming from Shutterfly.  Shutterfly is so user friendly and I love ALL of the card designs available.  It really is easy as 1-2-3.   Choose the card, drop your family picture in it, and order!  Before I order I love the "preview" feature so I can see what our card will actually look like. 

Here are a few of my favorites.  What do you think?

Need a gift idea?  Why not use all those photos that are saved to your computer and create Photo Calendars.  I bet some special people in our life will be getting one of these this year (I better get to work)!

Something else that I LOVE and will be using this year from Shutterfly is the Christmas Gift Tags.  OMG I am bananas about these.  They are so cute and will make gift wrapping go a little quicker using pre-made gift tags!  Each gift will have the "finish" look by using these gift tags.  I am so excited, can you tell?!  I am going to use one of these on the gifts we give this year.

There are several cute designs, it will be hard to chose.  However I need to get on the ball and get the cards, calendars, and gift tags ordered.  When you get a Christmas card, calendar, and or gift from our family just act surprise if you see one of these designs again :)  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and Logan is singing the entire song of Jingle Bells as I write this!  If I can get him on video I will post it, so sweet to experience Christmas through a children's eyes.
