Blog a la Cart

We had quite the weekend getting in the Christmas spirit. More photos and stories forthcoming about the weekend’s most exciting event, “The Nutcracker.”

On Sunday, after all of the excitement, James and I tackled one of our primary goals, to assemble and mail all of our holiday cards. We stamped, embossed, lined, stuffed, licked, and taped each envelope. While I’ve admitted to loving the process of addressing envelopes, I opted to give Minted‘s pre-addressed envelope service a try. It was free, and their system for uploading the addresses was very straightforward and intuitive. And, sweet lordy, I am obsessed. The envelopes just look so dang pretty! And having pre-addressed envelopes has made the process so much faster. Now that we mail over 150 cards, I’m grateful to have such a simple, elegant trick.

And Minted‘s turn around is lightening fast… so you can still totally take advantage of their amazing card options for this season. Merry merry, indeed!
