Sick kids, preparations for tonight’s Relief Society Christmas party, and a new obsession for a certain novel series (that everyone and their mom is into) have estranged me from the blogging world — my own blog included.

But I have a guest post today at my friend Amy’s blog, Living Locurto. My post won’t be so new to you, but make sure to check out the rest of her blog, especially her great roundup of free downloads. Amy is a graphic-designing, stay-at-home mother, but on top of that, she gives back to her community in a really huge way. She is incredible and such an inspiration. Thanks for having me over, Amy!

Hopefully Santa can make out that this is from Kai and he would like a puzzle. We even went to the post office today, bought stamps, and had Kai slip the envelope into the mail slot. Exciting stuff for a three-year-old.

Need Santa’s address? Find it here. Thank you, Stephanie. : )

Without getting into how long I procrastinated these and how late I stayed up last night putting fifty of these together (cutting paper down from parent sheets by hand really bites), here are the invitations I designed for this year’s Relief Society Christmas dinner.

Cute, cheap, and unbreakable Christmas ornaments? Umm, yes! From Martha Stewart.
