who each have a fabulous offer for you!
First, a treat for our local readers:
How about a photography package worth OVER TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS courtesy of Steele Photography! (Don't you just love this picture?)
The package includes:
- Your choice of an indoor or outdoor photo session (I vote for out door this time of year!)
- 2 - 11x14
- 2 - 8x10's
- 4 - 5x7's. (you will have the option of exchanging these for different sizes)
Lindsay has been photographing families, children, seniors, weddings, and schools for the past 7 years.
Here is just a small sampling of her work:
Don't think you'll win? Contact her and let her know you are a Fabulessly Frugal reader and she'll give you the same package for only $100!!
And for the SECOND offer...
courtesy of
Simply Happy Designs!
this is a $25 value!
Once the card is to your liking, she'll email you a full quality file and then you just have it printed off (any photo developer, or even your own printer if you want), just in time for Christmas cards!
Here are some of my favorites:
We will be choosing TWO of the entries.
ONE: The photo package (which will have to go to a local reader of course)
TWO: The digital photo card design (open to everyone!)
This means, if you have a whole slew of entries, you COULD win BOTH!

HI there! I am EXTREMELY "un-local" down here in hot and sunny Florida! (But I still could use some Christmas cards!)
Local right here in boise. Desperately need a new family photo since my 3 yr old isn't included in our last one :)
Here's hoping.
How exciting! I'm a local reader and would love the pictures, our last one is 5 years old.

I wish I were a local reader but alas, I am not.
I've already started my Christmas shopping, but I hope to have it done the day after Thanksgiving. There is a reason I'm up at 4am!
I am a local here in Nampa and my family actually just got family photos done a couple of weeks ago...and you'll never guess what happened! The whole first memory card of photos accidentally got deleted by the photographer. She felt awful and we still did get some GREAT photos, and I'm in no way angry, but a lot of beautiful photos were lost. :( I would LOVE to get another chance to photograph my three kids...and for FREE no less!
I am a subscriber also.
I am a Facebook Fan and posted about this giveaway in my status.
You know...I tell myself EVERY year that I am going to get my Christmas shopping done early and it NEVER happens! I am always scrambling around at the last minute to get it done. HOWEVER, this year (being the first year I started couponing) I am almost done already! Just have to shop for my hubby really...everyone else is done! SUCH a relief!
I just tweeted about the giveaway also. :)
I live in Boise and will have my shopping the day after Thanksgiving.

And as far as my Christmas shopping...hmmmm...a lot of it is done already but I am sure I'll have a few more gifts to buy once I go through my list and check it twice... :O) It would be nice to be done by Thanksgiving, that way I could just relax and enjoy the Christmas season...

My Christmas shopping will probably be done around the beginning of December, but the homemade gifts - I'll probably still be working on them Christmas EVE! :)
And my Christmas shopping will probably be done by December 24th! I will be done with mine early, but then my hubby, who will have promised to do all of his own holiday shopping, will beg me to finish his.
I just posted/shared the link on my FB page!
Since my husband and I are students and we only have 1 child ( 7 months old), and we are flying to Alabama for Christmas, I plan to do ALL my Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving when I go out at 5AM with my mom.

Nikki again. I plan on having my Christmas shopping done by Thanksgiving. I am already mostly done. However, the gift my husband and I are getting for ourselves is new tile shower and tile floor in the bathroom, which will be installed Thanksgiving weekend... so that is the plan anyway. With that, Christmas shopping will be done when that project is done.
