Fun At the Beach

My husband and I took our 7 (Happy Birthday C) and 11 year olds to the beach for a Christmas card photo shoot on Sunday. I'm still not big on showing "faces", but wanted to give you a glimpse...gorgeous weather for a November day in Massachusetts. Also included some of my fall shots from a week or 2 ago.

He's Making a List...

...and so am I! My Christmas card list. I LOVE sending Christmas cards. But not any old Christmas card. A perfect Christmas card. I usually take my kids to the beach for a quick photo session, come home, download my photos to Shutterfly, and start playing around with card ideas. They have a bazillion choices. Here are some of my favorites for 2010:






I LOVE the fact that I can try different cards, different photos, different fonts, etc...save my work and then order. I especially like that there are cards on sale at Shutterfly right now! So I'll be heading to the beach this weekend come rain, snow, sleet or rain...maybe even a little bit of sunshine this weekend!

So sit back and relax and get those Christmas or Holiday cards finished...one more thing checked off your list!!!

A New Favorite...and an Old Constant

kieljamespatrick.comhas my new favorite items. I first saw them on Preppy Sue's site, and have since been stalking the web site. We have been seriously watching our spending...but I may have to splurge on one of these very affordable bracelets. Or maybe I'll wait for Christmas. Or maybe I'll call it my birthday present I haven't yet picked out from my b-day 2 weeks ago(turned 45 on Oct 22nd...horrors). I'm not really sure.

On other notes, I have had frost on my car the past 2 mornings. I leave for work around 6:30...with just a 15 minute commute; but I've already been donning the down vest and gloves. It's too early for this! It has been in the low 30's in the morning, and hits the 50's. The afternoons have been beautiful. I'm mourning my flip flops and cargo shorts...warm sun on my face...car windows down...:(
