…this happens every year.
i spend hours designing cards for everyone else every year. hours. and this week, i’ve been on the phone with clients and stopping by their house with paper samples, designs, envelope finishes, etc.
for our card, i want something new this year…a new company…a new design…and i have grand illusions of what it’s going to be like. brett’s dad was going to take our photo tonight…
…but we (and i say ‘we’ lightly…read between the lines…and it’s certainly not brett’s dad) couldn’t get it together.
so, i was just wondering…is this an offensive card for this year?
you can be honest.
for real though. i swear i’m kidding.
um, i love my family.
Priceless.
Pee Pants Funny. I can remember our annual photos–looking like the happiest family on the planet. If only the tension, threats and anguish of the moments leading up to the “pefect shot” could have shown through…ha!
hahaha! That is sooo perfect! I would die laughing if you sent that out! So describes life right now 🙂
Heh heh – that made me laugh! But I know you will chivvy your menfolk and produce a fabulous card any day now! We had something similar here today – I wanted C to crayon on some sheets of card, which I planned to make into special Christmas cards for family… Instead she had a major strop as she wanted the biro I was writing my shopping list with. She then snaffled said biro when my back was turned and proceeded to draw all over her feet and my new posh notebook. Sigh! Have a good weekend!
You know what I love about your comment, britgirl? I love that in one comment, you proceded to give me, like, total British goodness.

seriously? You Brits are way too cool. Now I’ll chivvy along to go practice my accent. Cheerio.
Do it. I am just thinking f sending cards. Does that count for some thing??? Love you. Mary
Very nice! I LOVE that photo of you and Lainey, it would make a great card 🙂
And I too thoroughly enjoyed Brit Girl’s comment! Just imagine me – sitting here trying to figure out what those words mean! Funny though, when I read her comments, I read them to myself in my head with a british accent 🙂
we have a valentines day card tradition … and it’s not just because i couldn’t get my crap together the first year we did it (cough, cough).
love that picture of you two so much … i think it’s a hilarious idea. even if it is just in thought.
and this would also be the perfect ad for grandma krissy’s super-cool tossel caps, which are making me seriosly consider taking up knitting,or crocheting, whatever the difference is!! Hey if you get a sec, I’d love to be added to email dist. of your posts!!
Happy Saturday! I hear it’s a rainy December day in Naples today, stay dry!
Nicole…consider it done! And as talented as you are with the bonnet sewing, I say take up the crochet! I have to convince the mama to get her etsy shop up and running again…I’ll advertise for her!
let’s just say this post cracked me up!
“Hamtpon Time”
love it. totally printing this out and putting this up as your mailer this year!
That’s the way life is isn’t it? Trying to get everyone together is harder than people think.
