It's official.
Although we moved in a few weeks ago,
today the house is officially ours.
After months of panic and prayer I can breathe again.
All I can say is we are extravagantly blessed.
Abundantly taken care of.
Extraordinarily thankful.
Home sweet new home.
yay!
The thought of sending out change of addy cards right
before Christmas cards was sending me over the edge.
There is just so many envelopes that
a girl should be required to stuff a year.
(We send out 500.
Don't ask.)
So what is a girl to do?
Embrace technology,
Picnik up a picture
and slap in a mass email.
5 minutes.
$0.
Holla!
Can you believe I live on Rad Lane?
Truly, this house was meant to be!
LOVE the photo op. Makes me want to move so I can take that pic. Almost.
ReplyDelete(as a side note, you could have printed that photo as a postcard and not had to stuff envelopes...just sayin).
LOve the picture! That's great and an awesome idea! The thought of 500 Christmas Cards makes me freak a bit though.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the Freecycle treasures are in Awesomeville!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic! Congrats on the new home.

ReplyDeleteLove it!! The girls in the boxes are DARLING!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you are loving your new neck of the woods in Awesomeville!
ReplyDeleteAwesomeville -- that's awesome! You know, if you don't want to stuff envelopes and there are some people who don't ever read e-mails who need your new address, you can order 100 FREE postcards from VistaPrint. You pay the shipping, but to give you an example of how inexpensive that can be, here's what I just ordered and paid:
ReplyDelete*1 caracature keychain for my daughter
*1 set of 10 personalized notecards for my daughter
*1 set of 10 personalized themed thank you cards for my son's themed b-day party
*250 business cards as a stocking stuffer for my retired father-in-law
*1 address stamp for the same FIL
*100 adorable personalized postcards for me
All of the products were free (I just spent some time clicking through on categories, fiddling with layouts and fonts, etc.), I just paid the shipping which was $10.18 total. I selected the show shipping option and received everything within two weeks.
You could say all you want to say on the front of the postcards, then you (or a child) could stick an address label and a postcard stamp on the back. Easy!
