If you’re like me, you probably haven’t even thought about Christmas cards at this point. (That’s usually a rush project that takes place just a few days before Christmas, right?)
To give you a little nudge to get started EARLY this year, following are a handful of truly classy Holiday cards, and some VERY unique postage stamps to use for yourself, or as a creative gift for a friend or relative.
Personalized U.S. Postage Stamps
Turn personal photographs into REAL postage stamps! Simply visit the website and upload your favorite digital image.
After a few moments, you see your picture embedded in a stamp on screen, where you can reposition the image in the stamp, rotate it, flip it, and change the border color.
When you’re happy with the results, select the kind of stamp you want (first-class letter or postcard) and finish your order.
Yes, they’re really legal U.S. postage!

If there is ONE thing I like… it's C H A N G E! The four seasons and major holidays are my favorite times of the year to recharge — and redecorate. I mostly like to share frugal DIY ideas for seasonal home decorating and party planning (for both, indoors and outside). Because who doesn't enjoy entertaining at home?! But even if you don't host many parties, I think you'll appreciate my DIY hacks and clever ways to decorate your house for the major holidays including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Because those are the times when people tend to have the most visitors and overnight houseguests.
