Christmas with Tiny Prints

This year, I was able to grab 50 free Christmas cards from Tiny Prints for being a blogger. I really appreciate this offer, because cards can be costly, especially when you are on a budget. I am trying to pick the perfect Christmas card for my family, but it is so hard to decide when they offer so many. Here are my three top choices: 

I really like this one, because you can change the color of the writing and the simplicity of it. I also love the "Holly Jolly" saying.

I absolutely love the vintage feel this card has. I think the saying and Rudolph is perfect.

This card has a vintage feel, as well. I really enjoy the vintage look! I love how simple this card is and how the focus is on the picture.

So, there are my narrowed down choices. I really have no clue, which one I should purchase. Please feel free to let me know your favorites! These are just three of MANY cards they offer. Their site is easy to navigate and to filter by size, how many pictures you want, etc. Head on over to Tiny Prints and order your Christmas cards today.

New Uses for Old Things

I think this article is so neat. Real Simple Magazine has been one of my favorites for quite some time. This article gives you new uses for old things. A lot of these items you could have around your house already, but are not always used. Here are some great ideas to be frugal, inside your house. I love the ice cube tray idea filled with aloe (sun soother)-pictured below. I usually just keep our aloe in the refrigerator, but this is a great option.
