As much as I loved making Christmas cards every year for our friends and family, it became a seasonal stressor (like we needed more things to do and worry about). We’d blow through printer cartridges, bark at each other whenever cards would get stuck or ink would bleed, spend days making picture prints, cutting, stuffing, mail merging, and licking sour envelopes…you can see why we’d question if it was even worth it.
So this year we cut the recipient list down quite a bit, let Postable print/stuff/stick/send cards for us…and recipients were disappointed we didn’t send out the usual year-in-review. I know, I know…I was disappointed too. It’s almost like I forgot I have this blog that I can do whatever I want with (duh!). So how about we post them here? Glad we came to that understanding! So here’s our 2019 year-in-review:
We hope you enjoy it! Prior years are below. And as always, be merry this Christmas!

I love this idea! These look great!! Did you find a template to use for your cards, or is this something that you made yourself? I may have to steal your idea and start doing one next year myself 😉
Thank you! You should! I found a design/example that I liked online, then I built a bunch of clip art and text boxes on top of it in PowerPoint (my poor man’s photoshop), then saved everything as a pdf and jpeg. Hope this helps!
