I thought of the best Christmas Card idea ever - we wear matching red sweaters with a white collared shirt underneath and do an 80s pose. I saw the pose on a movie and instantly thought it would be a good laugh instead of all the boring Christmas cards people usually send. I always use Shutterfly for my photobooks and want there to check out their 2013 Christmas Collection. Go there now!

| Hello Save The Date/Christmas Card! |
We all know how much I love the photobooks, so be sure to check them out -- great presents for Grandparents if they are filled with a years worth of photographs.
BEST PRESENT EVER!
Shutterfuly also has a Tri-Fold card that would make an amazing Christmas card, but can also double as a Save The Date! Because my wedding costs keep building (Pinterest you lied and said it is possible to have a wedding under $6k Boo) I am looking everywhere to save a few dollars - this tri-fold doubles as both :)
o
Classic: Traditional colors, iconic
illustrations, aspirational sentiments, snowflakes, monogram

A large opening means it's easy to fill and clean your
GoToob. The small 1.25 fl. oz. size slips easily into pockets, bags,
purses, and other tight spots. The medium 2 fl. oz. size features a
handy suction cup that can briefly attach to walls for moments when you
need your hands free. And a large 3 fl. oz. size gives you maximum
volume for longer times between refills.
We picked this super cute pair of sandals to review. They are called the Mini Turquoise Hawaiian Sandal and were a hit. For those of you who have been following the blog my wedding colors have changed just like the weather in this town - from one extreme to another. Finally it has been decided that it is going to be navy, shades of pinks and gold/silver- sometimes you have to Pinterest hours to figure it out. Anyway, the blues fit perfectly with what I wanted. 
This summer is filled with MANY parties and I usually try to take something fun with me! I wanted to share some recipes with you! Summer is one of the best times to be creative - people are so hungry from sitting in the sun it does not matter if you mess up anywhere!
· Ice Cream Cone Cakes – Kids of all ages will love personalizing these single-serving cakes!
· Flip-Flops Cake – Personalize these edible summer wardrobe favorites with candies and fruit snacks – transforming a sheet cake into footwear that looks (and is) good enough to eat.
· Watermelon Cake – Your family’s favorite fruit is about to get even more popular. This melt-in-your-mouth cake offers a surprise in every bite, with chocolate chip “seeds” and a green jelly bean “rind.”
· Cookies n Cream Cupcakes – Perfect for family picnics, these cupcakes taste like your favorite ice cream without all the mess!
· Butterfly Cake – This beautiful, and fun, cake transforms a traditional birthday cake into a beautiful butterfly perfect for outdoor summer parties.
While I was at Betty's website trying to pick out some recipes to try out I discovered that they are actually pretty straight forward!
A great company I had the privilege to work with is Tiny Prints. Their invitations and announcements are adorable! Most of the invitations that I love include bright colors and are easy to coordinate with. The unique invites are a wonderful surprise to the guest, especially the ones I picked out! 
Birth announcements are another element that I love getting in the mail. People usually send ones out from the hospital because they get packages, but if you or someone you know is going to have a baby soon think of Tiny Prints! There were so many unique and cute ideas that it was hard to pull a few to show everyone. Tiny Prints has the traditional look people often love as well as the option to have 5+ photos on your announcement.
