Here are some amazingly creative Holiday Cards that I've discovered in blogland this year...

So our 2010 Christmas card isn't as creative as I would like, but the boys weren't feelin' my initial idea and the best I could get was this...
Here's our attempt at "Peace"...
Then "Joy"...
But, unfortunately, "Love" wasn't working for us that day...
Couldn't get the "Love" right, so I scrapped that idea and then... did nothing. About a week ago (and after a slight panic attack), I finally ordered our cards and, after a couple of snafus, got them out over the weekend. Phew!

the "a" looks weird because I photoshopped it in because there was an error on the original proof
i also was shorted envelopes and haven't received my replacements yet...
luckily i happened to have some extras in the right size.

headache aside, i like the design and like to support small businesses when i can
One of these years I will get a photo of the boys together... better yet, a family photo. One of my to-do's for next year is to find a good family-friendly photographer in our area. If you know of a good family photographer in the So Cal area, let me know!
Merry Christmas Eve!
