Christmas has come and gone, but I wanted to share with you what I gave for gifts. Having spent so much time with my camera last year, it seemed fitting to give some of the resulting images to family and friends. I'd been wanting to have some cards printed and some photos framed, so it seemed the right time to do both.
I chose four images for my postcard set and had them printed here. I was very happy with the results! Nice thick cards, blank on the back for jotting a quick thank-you note or other correspondence. My only regret was not printing my name somewhere on the cards; next time I'll spring for the extra dollars to do so.
Selecting shots for framing was a bit trickier. After honing the list to about two dozen images, my husband and I chose what we thought would appeal to each person on our list. Most were digital images, though a couple of my Polaroids made the cut. Opting for non-traditional "framing," I had prints made here and then ordered maple blanks from the folks at Plywerk. The final result was just what I'd hoped for. In fact, it was a little hard to give them all away! My to-do list for 2010 now includes making a set for myself.
