2010 Christmas Card

Here it is in all it's glory...

This is the mock up of our 2010 Christmas Card. Coming to a mailbox near you soon!

Yes, Clint and I look like we are in costume, because we ARE! We dressed up as a 1950's husband and housewife this year for Halloween. Clint was so handsome in his fedora hat and dress up clothes, and I loved playing around with my hair and makeup. I got some makeup inspiration from none other than the fabulous Kandee Johnson of course :) I also called my beautiful Nana, who was a 1950's housewife, along with a former model and she gave me some hair advice :)



Photo Card Details:
1. I designed this card at See Here. I got 20 Cards for FREE
2. I only had to pay for the shipping, which was around 5 bucks!
3. You can get this deal as wel,l by signing up for a new account

4. I liked the cards so much in fact, I ordered New Years Cards too!

Fedoras and Pin Curls,

Taylor

Feliz Navidad

Here is a little video of our home with all our Christmas decorations up. I may make some wreaths this year, but basically everything else is up.

Enjoy!

p.s. I didn't follow the paper ornament tutorial exactly. I didn't buy the grommets, I just used a hole punch and tied with clear fishing line, then added curling ribbon.

Love, Allspice and Snowflake Garlands,

Chop Block:

I've wanted a huge chop block to leave on my counter for some time now. Not sure of the dimensions needed... wait I'll measure the space...

... ok, 22in x 22in would need to be the MAX size. I have no preference in color or finish of the wood.

Ok, that's all for now.

Much love and Christmas Cheer,


Tay
