Holiday cards from Pear Tree Greetings, plus a $75 giveaway

As you transition into the weekend — where slow becomes your thing and you’re snuggled up close with your people, I wanted to share with you a few holiday card designs (including a $75 gift card giveaway) from one of our longtime sponsors, Pear Tree Greetings. Ever since we moved to Los Angeles I’ve vowed to slow down my pace. It’s been a hard process to adapt, especially living in such a busy city, but it’s been so good for me. And with Christmas nearing this is a fantastic time to re-evaluate what slow really means.

Slow looks like granted permission to hear life’s tick-tock; to view it as a gift instead of using it as a measure of time.

Slow looks like grace, feels like comfort and warmth, and can’t be added to your calendar. Slow just happens.

Inside my home, slow looks like decorating with photos of my people and the heart. Slow does not look like meaningless clutter or decor bought from the store. What does slow look like for your family?

There’s nothing quite like the warmth of photo cards on display, especially during the holidays :) Growing up my mom kept a basket of cards in the living room and it was so fun to flip through them as I sat in front of the heat register at our Michigan home.

Are you ordering holiday cards for 2014? Some of my faves from PTG are their ornament cards, ribbon strand cards and spinner cards. They even offers designs that feature Black & White, watercolor, photo overlay & foil stamping.

And quite possibly the frosting on the gingerbread house this holiday season: Pear Tree Greetings even has Instagram-friendly cards, making ordering, addressing & sending a card super easy.

Have a blissfully wonderful weekend, and may it be glittered with slow moments.
