Okay, how did it become the middle of December already?

Seriously, this time of year always goes by so fast – and yet, it always catches me off guard.

On Monday I realized that I hadn’t ordered our Christmas cards yet – and that I’d have to get moving if I wanted to get them out to family and friends soon!

I had never used MyPublisher to order cards before, but I loved the dozens of seasonal card designs they offer – everything from holiday cards to Christmas cards to New Year’s cards to Hanukkah cards – from a number of talented designers.

So I chose the design I wanted (though it was a tough decision!) and the ordering process was super easy.

I went with the Snowflake Seal design option.

I loved that it gave me design color, paper color, card type (folded or flat) and paper finish options. It made me feel like I was really custom-designing, and I ended up with a card Brian and I both love!

MyPublisher offers free shipping, but since I was so last-minute with ordering I wanted to get the cards here as soon as possible… so I paid an extra $1.99 for faster shipping. That was a great decision because yesterday (just three days later), look what arrived!

I loved the packaging. And I love that the envelopes are already printed with my return address on them (a free add-on!) – gives me less to have to write!

The package also included free envelope liners, which gives a nice added touch to the cards.

I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the cards, or the experience ordering them from MyPublisher. Now to address them all and send them out…!

WIN IT!

If you’re a last-minute card sender, too, you’re in luck!

I’m giving a lucky reader $50 to spend at MyPublisher! (Remember, there are New Year’s cards if you don’t think you’ll get your holiday cards out in time!)
