cottage and vine: Christmas Cards & the New Do

Christmas Cards & the New Do

Over Thanksgiving I asked my sister-in-law to take a few pictures of our family. Of course I didn't plan the outfits to co-ordinate so I had to make the images black and white to avoid looking busy. Choosing Christmas cards is never easy for me, but Personalized Greeting Cards from Tiny Prints makes it a little easier. You can choose the style and colors, and upload the photo in no time. I must have had 15 favorites.

Here is the one I finally settled on. Now for the Christmas shopping...

And finally, here is the new do. Not a major change, but I am happy with the length. Maybe next time I will go a little shorter in the back to look a little more like Gwenyth.

Your card looks really great Rene! Quite the handsome family you have. I'll also be doing Tiny Prints for our cards as well (I think). I had my haired styled very similar to yours and I really liked it. Then I went a lot shorter and now I'm itching to grow it out again.

Love the hair! Just got the same cut last week!!! I'll have to blog about my new hair!! Found your blog on the Mustard Ceiling. I may use her to design my blog too (I just started blogging a few weeks ago).

I hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving.

I just want to know what face cream you use? You are glowing and hardly look old enough to be the Mother of these handsome children.
Great photo! Love the hair....you could be bald and beautiful! You radiate sunshine!

Very pretty do, Rene. I also do like b&w pics as one notices the smaller details more without color.
