Christmas Cards through the Years

Reading this post over at Mango Ink was just the inspiration I needed to create a post of my own. I LOVE Christmas cards – both sending and receiving them! Isn’t it fun to check your mail in December? Every year my girls help stuff, stamp, and seal our cards and I think they actually enjoy making an assembly line out of the process. Christmas cards are also such a great glimpse of your family history. I rounded up the last 10 years of our cards and I can’t believe how much my little family has changed.

For many years, I made all our Christmas cards by hand. It was time consuming, but I really enjoyed the creative process. These days there are many more choices out there for purchasing beautiful cards and my go-to company is Mango Ink. I ordered our cards over Thanksgiving and they should arrive any day! There is still plenty of time to order your cards too…don’t stress! Contact Mango Ink and they will take care of every little detail for you.
