Monday Motivation: Order Your Christmas Cards

I know it's early -  but it's not too early to order, purchase, or make your Christmas and Holiday cards. 


                                                                                               (the inside of last year's card)


I just discovered a pretty good deal on the BeCentsAble blog about ordering from See Here.  I saved 50 % on my cards and I can check that "to do" off of my list. 

I usually make my cards but this year has been really crazy- busy and we had wonderful photos taken at my daughter's wedding.  I knew I had to send a photo card this year. 

What are your plans for Christmas cards this year.  Do any of you forgo sending cards altogether? 


Today's interesting fact:

"Christmas is the largest card-sending holiday in the United States with approximately 1.5 billion cards sent annually." (source)

    Love, love, love the inside of you Christmas card from last year! I am attempting to stamp my Christmas cards for the first time this year and would love to see the front of your card. :) Also, where did you find that verse stamp? I love it and would love to find one to use this year. Thanks so much!

    I love these Monday motivations! I gave up sending Christmas cards about three years ago. It seems sad to me now - to quit. Perhaps this year I will send some...I also notice I get fewer and fewer every year. Can't tell you how much I enjoy my apron. It's well used. Thanks again.

    Hi Jennifer,
    I bought the nativity stamp and the verse stamp at Michaels last year. If you live near me I'm happy to let you borrow them! If you search my blog for "Christmas cards" you'll see the post about how I made last year's cards. Email me if you have any questions! Good luck!

    I got all my Christmas cards for FREE (except S&H)!!! I started watching freebie site blogs at the end of summer and everytime some new online photo company had a deal going to sign up and get 20 free cards - I did it!! I have gotten all 60 of my cards for free this year!! I love being able to design my own cards with my own photos!! It was so fun! Getting them for free has been the best part!

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant?  Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it).  There was one little glitch, however.  During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg.  When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg.  The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped.  A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).  The prognosis is good and I'm recovering pretty quickly.  In fact, I've left my cane behind and I'm walking freestyle without falling.  My next goal is to be able to drive. I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories.  Running? - n...

A Designer's Secret For A Taller Bed

  Several years ago Hubs and I spent almost a year looking for a bedroom set that we both loved.  He wanted clean lines and dark wood.  I wanted curves and a "tall" bed.  Of course, there was no perfect bedroom set but we were able to compromise on a set that we both liked.  My main wish was for a bed that I could "climb up into".  The problem with that wish was that most of the "tall" beds were four poster beds and Hubs was not in the mood for that.  We found a Thomasville bed on display at a local furniture store and it fit the clean lines that Hubs wanted and it was "tall"  enough to suit me.  The problem was that once we received the bed we ordered in our home, it wasn't as tall as I had remembered it being.  My heart sunk!  I went back to the furniture store to look at the display.  Their bed was much taller than our bed.  Hmmm. . . what was different? I got nosey and lifted up the comforter on the ...

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

  Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand .  I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here!   The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section.    The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty).  I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle).  It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage.  I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick.    If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.
