15. If it were me, I'd start at Staples or Office Depot - or even better,

is there a good stationery store in your area? Or a local printing place where you can get custom printing done (like your name on a set of Christmas cards)? Tell ‘em what you want to do and they’ll take it from there! OR, worst case scenario, if they can’t do it, I bet they’d know who else would!

These photos of yours are WORTH IT, WORTH IT, WORTH IT!

And it may not be that expensive.

Your photos would make really nice color postcards, and then you don’t have to deal with envelopes, and I think postcard stamps are cheaper (or they used to be!). I bet you could have a simple message added, on the other side, in small pretty lettering (in gold or contrasting color) saying “Merry Christmas” or “Have a Beautiful Holiday!” and then just write a quick note and add a stamp and the address, and it’s good to go!

One more thought: you might want to add “photo by (your name)” in very small letters along the bottom of the side where you write your message and addresses.

If you give them as gifts, just use all these photos as postcards and give sets of them to friends. Pack ‘em together in appropriately-sized ziplock bags and maybe add a bow!

I bet your friends would LOVE ‘em!!!
