leading up to that most special of days - christmas, of course! - i thought i'd share ideas i find for gifts, wrapping, decorations, and all of the little details involved in making a wonderful holiday season.
this year, i made a promise to myself to buy approximately half of my gifts from either etsy or other independent sellers, with a focus on handmade items. i see so many amazing small businesses out there in the blog world, and i feel an urge to support them as much as possible.
since they require some lead time, i've decided to start my 2010 holiday guide by rounding up some of the lovely cards out there. do a lot of you send christmas cards? since sending and receiving snail mail brings me a lot of joy, i've been sending cards to friends and family since high school. and i love picking my cards out each year.
