Being a planner, I have already ordered and received my Christmas cards for this year!
I decided to go with post cards this year to save on paper (envelopes) and postage.
I am so pleased with the cards I received.
I went to www.vistaprint.com and used one of their templates and added our family photo. The cards have a glossy finish and really do look wonderful!
On the reverse side, our name and address are in the upper left hand corner. Again, this will save paper (address labels).
Last year, I ordered some pictures from a reputable company online. They came back so dark, I was almost embarrassed to give them away. With Vistaprint, my photo is bright and crystal clear. I am so happy with the way the photo came out on the cards.
Another item I ordered was a return address stamp. I was able to add a photo of a steaming coffee cup and that added a nice touch to the stamp. The cup is on the left of the stamper and our name and address are to the right of that.
When I received it, it came in a box. Within the box, the stamper was in a plastic bag. Also within that bag was the rubber stamp that needed to be stuck onto the stamper. It took all of three seconds to adhere. It is a self-inking stamper that has a button you press to open it up. You can use one hand to use this stamp. It is a great investment.
Lastly, I decided to order some 4x6 pads with a photo in the upper left corner. You can have them add a magnet to the back so you can use it on the refrigerator. I decided to add my own since we have some here at the house. It makes a great pad for writing down grocery items or things you do not want to forget. The one I chose has no lines but still works great for writing down my grocery needs. The picture in the corner makes me smile and think of Christmas every time I look at it!
All in all I am very pleased with all of my merchandise. I do recommend Vistaprint for your Holiday needs.

Thanks for the info. I've used Vistaprint before, but never thought about ordering Christmas cards from them. I was wondering if you ever thought about adding a Christmas Movies list to your homepage. It's a fun way to get into the Christmas spirit and readers might find it handy. I know I would. :)
What a great idea! Keep your eyes peeled for that, Kim!
Wow, that was fast! Thanks!
