Stationary card

Wow, I didn't realize it's been a whole month since I've blogged about anything. Sorry to my few readers...if you're still out there!

It's a little past the Christmas holiday, but I thought I'd share with you all the lovely card I put together to send out to my friends and family. Due to a code for 25 free cards I got in a drawing on Kelly's blog, I used Shutterfly to maximize my money and card output! THANKS KELLY!


This was the Poinsettia Print Holiday Card. I'm sure most people take the opportunity with photo cards to show off their family, pets, etc. Since it's just me, and I felt it would be super creepy to have a solo shot, I opted for a nice black and white photo of the Denver City and County Building all lit up for the holidays.

I think it turned out quite nicely! With the great results, I'll probably use Shutterfly again for next year's cards. Nothing like planning ahead!

I've got plenty to be thankful for

Um...this was supposed to post on Thanksgiving but didn't. Damn Blogger. Anywho, enjoy it just a few days late...

The post title comes from one of my favorite movies of all time, Holiday Inn. The song is also my favorite Thanksgiving themed song. Mostly because I don't know any other Thanksgiving songs, but also because I really do love the song (Bing's voice is just magical).



To go with the Thanksgiving spirit, a list of things I'm currently thankful for:
- My generally good health.
- My family, friends, and wonderful boyfriend.
- Living in a great city like Denver.
- Food...good God, I love food! Trying new restaurants is a favorite activity.
- Live music - I've been fortunate enough to see a ridiculous amount of concerts this year!
- Comedic shows - Parks & Rec, Community, New Girl, Modern Family, Happy Endings and Always Sunny are just some of my current faves!

What are you thankful for?
