Ready, Set, Mail

I’ve been writing out and sending Christmas cards since my early teens. What can I say, I love sending mail! In all those years I’ve never once ordered pre-printed cards, but I thought this might be the perfect year for it with how busy I’ve been. I immediately knew that Minted was my destination, their extensive collection of holidays cards is always top notch.

 

I chose this clean, modern design by Kelli Hall, I love the sentiment. Minted also offers an amazing triple thick paper as an option, it makes your cards feel like a million bucks!

 

The address wrap and kraft paper envelope option gave my cards just the feeling I was looking for. My only regret was not ordering an extra 25, seems I completely underestimated my mailing list!

Advent Calendars

Less than two weeks left until the start of December, which means it’s time to start thinking about advent calendars! Is it a tradition your family goes all out for? I grew up with an advent calendar every year (usually the paper ones with flaps from Hallmark), and continue to carry on the tradition. And I still look forward to opening one door every morning for the first 24 days of December. Here are my favorites this year – some are DIY and some are not, but all are awesome.

Happy Holidays, From Me to You

IMAGE: Kelly Beall for Design Crush

As of tonight I’ll be home sweet home in Pittsburgh, shacked up for the holidays! I only manage to get back and visit once a year, so it’s never really a break with all of the running around to meet up with different friends and family. But after the fact I always feel like I’ve been rejuvenated in a way I didn’t even knew I needed. So with that I bid you a fond farewell for the next week because this girl is taking a much needed blog break. I wish you all the best of the season and the happiest of holidays! xo
