this is not an ordinary Christmas card


No red and greens! Gasp!

No dress clothes? The horror!

No parents? That's new!

But you know what? I love it anyway!

Do you make your own cards too? Leave me a comment and a link to your card if you posted it - I'd love to stop by and see it!

    Great Question! After a whirlwind December, Alphabitty Moments will start up again next Thursday with the letter L.

    I love it.

    I have made my own the past few years but didn't do a darn thing this year. I still need to get a birth announcement made though.

    I make our holiday cards each year and love that despite the huge time commitment, I know that others appreciate the time I spent making them. I tend to stay away from photos since we can only send out so many pics of the dog.

    Here's our 2009 holiday card:

    I "made" mine, meaning I picked out the card and clicked and dragged (drug?) the picture into it, and picked out the font. I didn't post it on my blog because it has our real names on it (but you saw it), but the picture I used is in this post:

    No red or green or dress clothes for us either!

    LOVE your card!!

    P.S.-- I loved the 25 Days of Ornaments. I read through a feed reader so I apologize for not commenting. I may steal your idea next year-- if that's okay. I adore ornaments and the stories behind them.

    I LOVE this card!!! It's way better than a posed one in Christmas clothes, I think! (Which is what I did -- but that's why I don't get paid to design things!)

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...
