Thanks for the Memories

 The Christmas season is almost upon us. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ready...because the truth is I have my Christmas cards ready to be addressed and put in the mail. This year I had another opportunity to try out the folks at Cardstore. While they aren't the only kids on the block with a lot of selection they really impressed me with what they had and how easy it was to get a card personalized. Here are some of my favorites:

Chalkboard Flair

Because Deer are so IN!

Who doesn't love these?

Cheers!

Perfection!

All of these cards can be changed up so they truly represent you and your wishes for the season to the recipients. Cardstore will also mail your cards out for you. I was really happy with the design I chose and how fast the turn around time was on them. And if you aren't happy, they stand behind their product 100%.This week they are even offering 30% off and shipping is free if you spend at least 30$.

Real life can sometimes make the picture. And this year Cardstore is giving away a $1,500 Visa gift card along with a Nikon CoolPix camera for your best real life candid Christmas photos. The top three photos with the most votes are the winners. That's right, you can get your family and friends in on the fun. I know when I look back at the pictures from the season I am more impressed with the candid shots. The looks of joy or exasperation that you just happened to snap. The cat in the Christmas tree...for the 10th time. The kids passed out in their matching jammies waiting on good ole Saint Nick to arrive. Life is all about these moments, the real moments.
