Seasonal reminders from Grass Stains

We just had our family pictures taken last weekend for our Christmas cards, which reminded me that I haven't posted my annual Seasonal Reminders for you. So. 

Hopefully you've already had your pictures taken and perhaps you've even ordered your cards! If so, you're ahead of me.

If you haven't, and if it's been more than a year since you've had a good head shot taken, have your photographer snap a couple of you and your spouse individually on the day you shoot. They'll probably be better than your latest selfie, and you'll be surprised how convenient it is to have one handy at all times.

Also about this time every year, I'm supposed to remind you that it's time to order your 2015 Christmas ornaments before Pottery Barn runs out of them. When you order this kind, you have to order it with the personalization "2015."

(If you're new here, I order a photo frame Christmas ornament for each of my kids every Fall with the year engraved on it. My Christmas tree is chock full of them. It's my favorite tradition and our kids love to hang their own ornaments on the tree every year.)

This year Pottery Barn has that rectangular one that I always order, plus a red enamel one, a white enamel one, and a gold one, all of which come engraved with "2015."

I am not affiliated with Pottery Barn in any way and don't get anything in return for mentioning them every year. CLEARLY I'M DOING IT WRONG.

But speaking of affiliates, if you haven't set your Amazon.com home page to MY Affiliate home page, this would be an EXCELLENT time to do that.

I know my posting schedule has gone to he** in a handbasket this year, so thanks to those of you who've stuck around. It's been a busy, busy year, but I'm trying to keep up. If you would like to support my blog at no cost to you, you could change your Amazon bookmark to (copy and paste it): 

http://www.amazon.com/?&tag=grassstains-20&linkCode=wsw& 

That is my personal Amazon Affiliate home page link. It would be a "passive" way to support my work here, because a small portion of your eligible purchases would be paid to me as a commission each time you make a purchase there.

Thanks for considering it.
