HOLIDAY CARDS 1.9.14

Hi guys, it's me, that girl katie, Receiving holiday cards is one of my favorite things about the Holiday Season. I see them as pure & simple little gifts. For me, getting them is like an advent calendar for adults during the holidays.

Sending out holiday cards is a tradition I grew up with and now I am doing it for my family. Obviously, everyone over the years has learned to play along.

I always start brainstorming for next years card right after the Holidays. And this year I already have a few ideas tossing around in my head thanks to Minted.

I love this one because you can make it a little more personal with your top highlights of the year. I always have good intentions to write a note to everyone but in the end I run out of time.

I love, love, love cards with humor and this one has my mind thinking.

I am a sucker for a splash of color mixed with hip font and for that I dig this one. Plus I have a huge soft spot in my heart for the Golden Gate Bridge since I lived in California for 10 years.

Minted has tons of awesome designs that you will love as will everyone on the receiving end. Yes, sending out holiday cards is a lot of effort during a super busy time of year but Minted can help make that process a lot easier.

Maybe you aren't brain storming next years holiday card but instead fixing up a space in your home like me. Minted also has a large art marketplace that will help any space feel more personal and cozy.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2014

Hi guys, it's me, that girl katie, The Holidays sure are a busy time and then add being sick this past week and all the emotions I am feeling because of the loss of my sister this past Spring its actually a bit surprising I pulled off all these decorations. But I did for the continued traditions and memories that my sister and I had growing up but now for my kids to enjoy.

Watching my kids light up for the magic of the holidays is pretty amazing and a priceless gift. So, other than enjoying the holidays through my kids my other wishes for 2015 are lot of good health and fun laughter!

Best wishes, that girl katie

WINTER WREATHS 12.11.14

Hi guys, it's me, that girl katie, I love a good-looking wintertime wreath! Here are 6 wreaths that caught my eye this Holiday Season.

Can you guess which one I purchased for my front door?

Someday I would like to make a wreath and my mom did just that when I was a kid.

Can you believe all the detail? I am not surprised back then she and her friend made the local paper.

My kids love to look & touch it. Of course I tell them to just look.

I am not surprised they love it, as do I. It is a huge part of our holiday decorations, thanks Mom!

I have a special love for DIY family heirlooms and I am so thankful to own it, at least for now but I guess I need to make one so both my kids have a special wreath to hang in their home someday.

What family holiday heirlooms do you decorate your home with?

Happy Holidays!
