It’s understandable that some people may want to wait on taking next Christmas’ photo Christmas cards pictures. This can be especially understandable if they have young children who will change drastically in appearance in the next few months. Or perhaps they’re like my friend Liz who’s on a diet and wants people to see her […]

For some people (like myself) getting those Christmas cards out can be quite the challenge. Some of us need a little more motivation than others. John and Carrie in Canada actually went as far as having a photo Christmas cards competition with her network of friends and family.
This tradition turned competition was first started by […]

Continuing on from last Friday’s sock monkey photo Christmas cards blog, I thought that it would be fun to do what “the monkey sock lady” did. Instead of using sock monkeys, use just about any of your favorite toys or stuffed animals & puppets, for your photo Christmas cards. If you’ve got kids and a […]

“The Sock Monkey Lady” (Dee Lindner) had no idea how much of a hit her sock monkeys were about to become when one year she took a picture of them for her photo Christmas cards. She took the original sock monkey picture just after a winter snow storm which made everything look sparkly and beautiful. […]

With Valentines Day on the horizon I figured this story would be a good one to put you in a loving mood.
Have you ever fallen in love with the mailman? Has the mailman ever fallen in love with you? No this isn’t going where you think it is ;0)
I guess I’d better be politically correct […]

In the situation where the Christmas gift is broken and it was shipped from the sender and not from a store, then things get a little trickier. You are then faced with the dilemma “should I tell them or not?”
Some people would tell you to simply tell the giver thank you and not mention it […]

In yesterdays photo Christmas cards blog we talked a little about how to handle the situation of broken, damaged or defective Christmas gifts, assuming they came from a store and included a receipt.
What if the gift came from a store but there was no receipt (a.k.a. invoice) inside the box? Then what? Well…that’s where modern […]

Have you ever received a broken or defective Christmas gift and you’re not sure what to do? One scenario may be that you feel awkward telling the gift giver because you fear they may feel you’re being ungrateful. Or perhaps you don’t want them to feel bad and make them feel obligated to send you […]

We’ve all heard the expression “opposites attract”. On the other hand we also know that we are often attracted to people that are much like ourselves.
There have been many heart warming articles and television shows regarding twins finding one another many years after being separated at birth and adopted by different families. Although they didn’t […]

There’s a new reality television series on Lifetime called Top This Party. It’s hilarious to watch because these people who are too rich for their own good are so unrealistic. Mind you they didn’t get where they’re at by thinking small, but some of the things they come up with are so out there. The […]
