How about...

Those Dawgs...woof, woof. Not a banner year for football but who cares? It's a Georgia tree!? It is not exactly in the right spot this year but I love it. We have collected these ornaments for years and this year this tree got a make over. A roll of deco mesh, some new ribbon and picks (all 50%off at Hobby Lobby) and magic. A new decorator tree. Have you seen the price of these things at specialty stores? Ridiculous.

Family Pictures for Christmas

If you are like me, you are just starting to think of the Christmas season. Halloween is under our belt and Thanksgiving upon us. That means Christmas isn't far behind. Don't stress about what to give the fam. One of the gifts that is great to give AND receive is a personalized calendar with family pictures to boot! Every year for Christmas, someone in my family gives personalized calendars. It is a great way to keep up with the entire families birthdays. Plus each month has pictures of family events throughout the year. Have you checked out Shutterfly? Shutterfly has and awesome collection of calendars to choose from. Just click  http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars to get started. I also have been thinking about doing the dreaded holiday card photo. Each year we take a photo and I usually frame it on my Christmas case of fame. I don't understand why my family hates it so much. Could it be that back before digital we set aside an entire day and about six rolls of film? Ouch, just for one picture. Now with my digital it is as easy as pressing a button. You can do it all at home on your computer. Shutterfly has tons of Christmas cards to choose from. My fav is http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/cards-stationery/fun-holiday-wishes-christmas-4x8-photo-card-4x8-photo?sortType=1&storeNode=93491&fe=4  Now, if I can just get my family to be still  and open their eyes! Just in case you were wondering, shutterfly has all kinds of other cards too, from birth announcements  http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birth-announcements  to invitation and stationary.
