Young House Love » Our First House » Baby Announcement Christmas Card Idea

| By Sherry Petersik | December 24, 2009 | 69 Comments

Baby Announcement Christmas Card Idea

By now you’re all probably off with your family eating gingerbread and tearing into some presents but we just wanted to share the holiday card we whipped up for our loved ones (since you’re all on our virtual mailing list). We wish you guys a very happy and sweet holiday with the ones you love. And speaking of love, we adore every last one of you for dropping in to see what we’re up to over here at Casa Petersik. Your support and encouragement never fail to put smiles on our faces each and every day, and we’re full of gratitude for the amazing year we’ve been fortunate enough to share with all of you.

Christmas Card

So don’t forget to enjoy some eggnog for me (thanks to the bean it’s off limits this year) while you celebrate the best part of having a place to call home: sharing it with the ones you love. Here’s to many more adventures (and misadventures) in 2010!

Psst- Wanna see our favorite holiday card of all time? It’s actually the first one we made from ’07.

Update: You can check out all of our favorite holiday decor finds here – many of which are under $15!

    Merry Christmas to you guys! Oh, and I was pregnant last Christmas and learned that the eggnog in a carton is pasteurized, so you can have that kind… just in case you start craving it or something. ;)

    Many blessings for 2010!

      Alisa D- Oooh, so good to know! I never want anything until I’m told I can’t have it (especially sushi!).

      Kristin J- Good eye! We added the letters on each of our stockings in Photoshop along with the word “Reserved” on the sign (but in real life we hung a blank sign so we could add the word later on the computer). Hope it helps!

    I love your card…so simple, yet so meaningful and personal. Where did the letters on your stockings and the reserved sign come from? Is that a Photoshop specialty? I think I may need to invest in photoshop, all your stuff is so cute!

    Your ’07 card is my favorite of all time. I tried to do that with a pic of my dog last year but it was terrible. My photoshop skills are doody. Even this year I was saying how I wish I could do what you did. The fake antlers on my dog just don’t have the same effect.

    Merry Christmas, you guys! I actually just found out yesterday about your baby news! It’s been a while since I’ve visited the site, since I’ve been preparing for my first baby too! We found out in June that we were preg. I came to the site yesterday to see if I could get some DIY tips on hanging a chandelier in the baby’s room, and noticed Sherry’s baby bump! Too funny! Congrats!

    Hi YHL! Just wanted to say how much your blog has meant to me this year (especially this fall). Our own little bean (actually baby #2) was born in August and at birth was diagnosed with a rare heart defect that kept her and us in the hospital until the end of November. As I sat in a hospital room, watching my girlie recover from two open heart surgeries, I plotted, planned and sketched out my dreams for our house (purchased just weeks before her arrival and sitting empty those 3 months we stayed at the hospital). To keep my mind off the scary stuff we were going through, I planned our home and future- especially her nursery and I read through all your blog entries for inspiration. Can’t tell you how much it meant to me to have a regularly and frequently updated blog to read when I needed a moment to escape my daily reality. This is a GREAT holiday season home and I can’t wait to dive into remodeling and decorating now that we’re all home together. Thanks for all the inspiration throughout the year! Best wishes!

      Lots of love,
      Sherry & John
