Whilst in our IVA my husband and I started doing something which we will probably do forever more. We dug out some photographs and made them into a Xmas card for each other once a year! Sounds crazy but it's a really funny thing to see what the other person will come up with. One of his cards to me was a Peter Andre cut out wearing little undies and my other halves head glued on. (I once gave him a photo of Peter Andre to show to his hairdresser - this was long before our IVA it's been home haircuts for some time now).
On one card I had each of our 3 labradors on ice skates skating round a rink in Central Park!

Fab idea, we're very thrifty even pre-IVA with Christmas cards we just don't do them, bah humbug I can hear you saying, I still put out the first and only cards hubby and I exchanged many moons ago. x

It sounds fun but I'm far too lazy to do anything like that!

My husband would think I'd lost the plot!

Dave would just burst out laughing at my attempts at being artistic! You should have seen his face when I suggested I make the invitations etc for the wedding!

Such a fun idea!
You know, I
re-use Christmas cards as tags for presents the next year. (Just a cheeky little tip!)

I love buying presents for people. I've cut back loads but always try and be as imaginative as I can
