10 Days of Giveaways: Day 4 (Minted)
I love love love holiday cards. Each holiday season, I look forward to receiving Christmas cards from our family and friends all over the world. We won’t see some of our closest friends for a year or so, as military life simultaneously binds us and creates distance, so it’s fun to see how much everyone’s families have changed since we last saw them. On our entryway table, I’ll prop up the Christmas cards we receive, and always look forward to sending ours out, too.
This year, Minted kindly offered to do our family’s cards, which was great timing, as we’d booked photos with Jacquelynn Buck here in Tucson. If you’re in Tucson and looking for a photographer, I can’t recommend her enough. She does gorgeous work, got my sometimes poker-faced little lovebug to smile (at a camera!), and works quickly, which is importante when you have a little one. (She didn’t give me a discount or anything because I have a blog. She’s truly amazing and I just wanted to spread the word.)
We ordered some photos and a canvas from her, and used her photos for our Christmas card, courtesy of Minted.
They have so many beautiful options, I had a hard time deciding! In the end, we went with this “Merry and Bright” theme with rounded corners.
I can’t wait for them to arrive!
Minted also offered to participate in our 10 days of giveaways with an awesome prize: two winners will each receive a $100 credit to their site. They make gorgeous holiday cards in addition to unique gifts like personalized stationary, decor, art prints, calendars and journals.

I love Christmas cards so much, it’s a bit of a sickness really, how many I buy and send each year and I love to receive them too!
Minted is such an awesome site! Our family likes to take our Christmas picture at Disneyland each year. We also pick out a new ornament for our tree while we are there.
My funniest moment was today when my toddler walked around Target waving and saying ‘ Hello People’ to everyone.
What an awesome giveaway! I would love personalized stationary!
My favorite moment is when my boyfriend and I have a night to spend with each other on the holidays.
Favorite holiday moment is when I first see my mom when I’m coming home 🙂

Thanks for the giveaway. I recently got engaged and have been eyeing Minted for Save the Dates and invites.
My favorite holiday moment is watching holiday movies with all my family after Christmas dinner while eating dessert.
I love getting a real tree every year and how it makes our house smell so good!
The best holiday moment for me last year was getting to skype my family for Christmas! Although it was hard being overseas and away from them for the holidays, it was such a blessing to get to see them and talk to them on Christmas.
Living overseas makes the Holidays hard. My favorite moments are facetiming with my family while they open gifts and eat Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner
I can’t wait to send out Christmas cards this year. We’ve sent them before, but this year, it’s special because we have our girls… They have so changed our lives for the better, and we just want to share our love for them with everyone. 🙂
Last year was our first year getting a real Christmas tree. We went to the local tree farm and cut our tree ourselves! The farm is so cute and festive. My favorite part is the measuring stick. We took our boys’ pictures last year and this year; they each grew 4 inches this past year! It’s amazing to see them grow.
One of our favorite holiday traditions is watching Elf, my hubby’s favorite Christmas movie. He laughs so hard at that movie every.single.time, it’s adorable.
Decorating our house is always a favorite Christmas moment to me!
Picking out a christmas tree.
Great for more than just Christmas cards!
I love getting cards from all my friends and family
My favorite Christmas memories are from when my daughter was little. On Christmas morning before our daughter came down, my husband would build a fire, set up the movie camera and christmas music. He captured the joy of a little girl’s delight at finding Santa’s surprises and the crackling fire and music were the perfect backdrop. The memories and the movies are priceless!
My favorite funny Christmas memory was a few years ago we were at my aunts and the garland on the mantle caught a small fire! Everyone was safe, but I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off in true panic mode! My family and I still laugh about it very year!!
My family loves Christmas Vacation so we watch that countless times over the holiday and it never gets old.
My favorite holiday moment is seeing the decorated tree with the lights on for the first time. It feels magical!
Just ordered our Christmas cards! Took me FOREVER to decide! 🙂
A favorite memory is Christmas Eve growing up. We would go to church, come home to eat, open presents & cuddle up to watch a new movie.
my favorite holiday moment is decorating the tree with my family!

My favorite holiday memory is piling up in the car and looking at all the Christmas lights!
Our pre-lit tree only half worked, ordered a new tree online….it never shipped so they refunded us and created a new order. Well the next day the first tree came and now a week later the second tree came. We get to go to the store and take the second tree back
