Calton Christmas Card

It's that time of year!

I want to make sure we all keep in touch...
Please email me (srcalton@yahoo.com) your address if:
1. You didn't get a Christmas card from us last year (it might have gotten returned).
2. You have moved, or your address has changed
3. You have never gotten our Christmas card, and you don't live in China :).

I will email you back our Houston, Texas Mailing address.
Just too scary to put addresses on a blog, you know.

Oh, and btw, we found a really creative and easy way to do Christmas cards-- http://www.cardstore.com/. Read below if you're interested...

I heard about this the year before they launched the program. The manager of the local Post Office was a friend of mine, and she showed me it while it was still being fine tuned.

It's the best kept secret!! They are linked with the United States Postal Service.
1. They store your addresses in your account, so they are there year after year for updates and everything. (Huge saver when our computer crashed!!).
2. You pick your card (you can insert a photo into one of their cute frames, even pick out one of their cards, or scan in your own that you've scrapbooked-- I did that last year).
3. Type in your message for the inside. They will even let you do personal salutations, like "Dear Johnson Family".
4. Click on all the addresses you want to send to. Pay for it on the site (in bulk, you can get everything for under $2, including stamps).
5. They will print everything, envelope everything, stamp everything, and deliver everything.

Here's what we sent last year through http://www.cardstore.com/ :

I only had to scrapbook one card, scan it into the computer, upload it to the site, click on addresses, schedule a delivery date, and that was it! Sorry, I've never sent personal cards. FYI, my camera doesn't take the clearest photos, but cardstore really did send impeccibly clear cards, the colors were perfectly vibrant.
