Have You Started Thinking About Your 2013 Christmas Card?

I love to send and receive photo Christmas cards! I proudly display them so we can enjoy them throughout the Holiday Season.

Many families make the creation of their Christmas card a part of their family traditions. It has become very popular for families to design and create their own Christmas card by adding personal touches of family photos and holiday snapshots. The greeting in the card can be personalized but brief or may include a "Christmas letter" updating everyone on the years’ events.

I have started planning our photo Christmas card for 2013. Creating a personal card was one of the holiday traditions I began in 1980 after our first daughter was born in 1979 on Christmas Day. Looking back on the cards from each year brings back smiles and great memories.

My mother sent her first photo Christmas in 1954.

 

These have been a few of my favorite photo Christmas cards.

We would love to see your favorite photo Christmas cards throughout the years! Please share them with us...

Personalized Memorial Ornament

I want to introduce a new personalized memorial ornament I have created with care and compassion. "In Our Hearts Forever" memorial ornament is expertly personalized to celebrate the life of a deceased loved one. When hung on the Christmas tree each year it will bring comfort and memories of that family member or friend and will be a cherished keepsake. It's a way to keep their memory alive during the holidays and all year long.

Beautifully handcrafted of clay, decoratively painted and hand dipped to give it a glossy shine. I includes a sheer white ribbon for easy display.

It can be personalized with the deceased loved ones name, birth and death dates or maybe you want to make it more personal and add "Husband, Dad and Grandpa" or "Wife, Mom and Grandma." There are so many ways to personalize to honor that special person.

I have been giving a memorial ornament at the visitation attached to the plant or arrangement or attached to the memorial envelope. It makes a meaningful keepsake.

The older I get, the more I realize we need to stop and remember the people we hold most dear.
