A Minted Happy New Year

Every year, I say we are going to have our family photo professionally taken and every year I fail miserably.  Hello, my name is Emily and I am a procrastinator.  This year, I got sick the weekend we actually planned to take a picture.  So last week after school, the sun came out, I set up the tripod, and dressed the boys up.  They actually cooperated long enough to get a couple great shots!  I might have offered some yummy cookies as an "incentive."

I am so thankful to Minted for teaming up with me for my New Year's card!  I have always admired their selection of beautiful cards from such a large variety of independent artists.  They offer so many gorgeous designs!  I can't wait to send my cards this year!  Minted also offers an assortment of stationery, art, and home decor. Make sure you check them out and visit my Instagram and Facebook pages to see my cards!

Wishing a very Merry Christmas and 

HAPPY 2016 to you and yours!

"Merry Christmas,

And this song of mine in three-quarter time

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

With the kids jingle belling 

And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I am so thrilled to be included in Just A Girl's Christmas Room Tour.

It's the hap-happiest season of all

With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings when friends come to call

It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories 

And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago

And hearts will be glowing
