I've been hand making my Christmas cards since high school. I usually pick out a theme (colors, design, etc.) in July and have them completely done by October. I sign and address them over Thanksgiving weekend and mail them in early December.
Then I became a producer with a 2 hour commute and everything about my life changed (for the better!).
This year I spent the month of July learning how to run an engineering board and packing up my stamps...not designing a Christmas card.
In fact, it was almost December 1 when I sat down with my good friend Shutterfly and designed my card. It's the sort of hodge podge card I swore I'd never do...
Never say never.
I also didn't have the official Christmas card photo shoot this year. (This year is just WAY out of sorts for me.)
What I included were a smattering of some of this year's highlights:
* My first trip to Florida - honored with the official "beach weeds' picture.
* My last day in Financial Aid, ending an 11 year run as a counselor, much of which was spent in good old 240F.
* My day as a bridesmaid in Olivia's wedding.
* My baptism.
* Working my new job at WBCL Radio.
* Flying to Kansas to spend Thanksgiving with Lori, Jeff, and Cassie.
It's certainly a year for the non-traditional. But it's been a very good year nonetheless!
