3 days and counting...

Three separate days I've tried to get pictures of my girls for our Xmas cards.

Day 1 - Get girls dressed to find out all 3 camera batteries are dead
Day 2 - Got girls dressed - went to local reservation for some candid outdoor photos - took close to 100 shot - nothing remotely usable
Day 3 - We'll just call it the Santa disaster - enough said?

Should I try again tomorrow or just go to The Picture People? I'm always happy with their photos but hate being limited to their cards. I was hoping to design my own this year using cards from Minted or Tiny Prints as I mentioned here.

Here's a few card choices from The Picture People:



What do you think?

is starting to think about christmas cards

I haven't had too much luck with my cards the past few years. The one year I designed my own from Shutterfly arrived incredibly blurry. After that I would just choose one of the limited choices from The Picture People as they rushed us in and out due to the holiday frenzy.

This year I'm determined to get it right. I'm going to try and stage a little photo shoot for the girls, which is no easy feat - getting a picture where they are both recognizable hasn't been my strong suit (yet...). After getting said photo, I'll choose one of the beautiful cards on either Minted or Tiny Prints, check out some of my faves below.

Wish us luck!
