The best way to spread Christmas Cheer

The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud, for all to hear.
-Buddy The Elf, Elf

I totally agree with Buddy! ;) But, another GREAT way to spread Christmas Cheer is to send Holiday cards! There is something so special about sending and receiving Christmas Cards. I love choosing the perfect card and sending if off to my family and friends!

Each year, I know I can count on Shutterfly to provide me with an awesome assortment of holiday cards, stationary and invitations!

The talented designers at Shutterfly make it super easy to design and send amazing, personalized holiday cards! Trust me friends, the hardest part will be choosing your favorite design!

This year, I narrowed it down to these three designs…
{Click on each photo to be directed to Shutterfly for more details!}


I won’t reveal the “official” card just yet… I don’t want to ruin the surprise for my readers who will be receiving one in their mailboxes! ;)


For years now, I have used Shutterfly to order prints, cards, photo books, calendars and invitations. I am always pleased with the fantastic quality of their products. I’ve already ordered quite a few Christmas gifts from the Shutterfly site this year! Don’t tell any of the great-grands, but they will each be receiving one of these beautiful photo books this year! ;)


With the holiday season in full swing, let’s all channel our inner “Buddy” and spread Christmas Cheer to everyone we meet! :) Once you head on over to Shutterfly and see all the holiday lovelies they are selling, you will be inspired to start celebrating!

While you are at Shutterfly.com,  I highly recommend checking out their calendars! They are the nicest I have found! I am already enjoying my personalized 2012 calendar! :)


Have a GREAT weekend friends!

Spreading kindness

As I mentioned in this post, it is a goal of mine to use this blog as a way to encourage kindness.
I am so lucky that so many other bloggy-mummas feel the same way!
Just yesterday, one of my favorite bloggers, Julie of Joy’s Hope announced that she and
Jeannett of Life Rearranged have teamed up for an awesome challenge -The Happy Day Project.

After being inspired by this random act of kindness post, Julie & Jeannett came together
to create the Happy Day Project – a random act of kindness week!

Since The Daydream Believer Project is all about inspiring people to spread joy;
my November challenge for you is to participate in the Happy Day project!
Here’s the scoop:

I love the idea of working as a family, and a community, to spread random acts of kindness!
What a wonderful way to start the holiday season! :)
I am excited to participate – and I hope you all will join in too!
Visit Joy's Hope or Life Rearranged for all the details! :)
