Well, the drama this year to make this years postcard happen was a little much, even for me! The day we chose to take them with our friend Bri, it was in the single digits & my grand idea was for us to take the picture in front of the lake where we usually spend lots of time in the Summer. Coats off, of course. Well it was freezing - & by freezing I mean by the time the 2 minutes were up of taking pics, because that was all we could handle, we couldn't feel our figures. Well, all the pictures came out dark. I sent them to Fabz to see if she could save them, & she did a great job lightening them, but at the end of the day they were too grainy to use.
So, back to square one! I had the idea to ask the lovely Camilla to take a picture for us during our road trip. After I got a bit furious with G due to wardrobe malfunctions - we did have a blast! lol. It was not overcast at all like I had hoped, so after changing our layout a couple times we decided on a picture and wording.
So much drama, just for a picture on a postcard - but each has been so special to us even when they don't come out exactly how I'd planned, like this one & year 1's. But Lord willing, we've got lots more to take & I for one am super exited about that! G, I don't think is as excited. lol
Year 3: 2013
Year 2: 2012
Barbs was so sweet helping me finish these last minute! I love the way they came out & their probably my favorite so far.
Year 1: 2011
1. The photos were all taken by our friends (will definitely keep that tradition going!)
2. They are all DIY, for the most part.
3. & they all say Merry Christmas in the front! (& that was never what I originally had planned lol)
Although Christmas is not about Christmas postcards, making them is a project I look forward to every year as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ - our Savior! I love the sweet joy that celebration brings. Cheers!
Love, t Olive
