something a little less ordinary about me is...
In High school I quit cheerleading to join the girls rugby team... and our rugby team won the "1st" women's H.S. national tournament... there were only 2 teams in it, but we won and I have a medal for it!
something less ordinary about my self...hmmmmm...i'm 6 feet tall, and i wear a size 11 shoe. wowza, can you say sasquatch?!

I heart the Comfort and joy . . . . a custom photo holiday card. But it was a REALY hard decision to make!
i love the Christmas bells design...especially because our name is bell....:)
I love the birthday photo collage. It's perfect for my daughter's first birthday invitation!
Very nice giveaway. I love exploring other shops :) I took a peek around and there is a lot I like. I really like the "Merry Everything and Happy Always" design. Cute!
Something less ordinary about me...I can roll my tongue, so can my daughter and my husband! We're a wild bunch :)

Oh my gosh! They are all adorable but I'm loving the Lil' pumpkin card! I would love to win! I am pregnant and due right before Christmas - I really need some cute cards! :)
I love the little Christmas polka dot address labels, so very cute!

a little less ordinary...touching frosted glass creeps me out
After perusing the shop, my favorite is 'A beautiful black and white damask custom photo Christmas card'
I love her designs. And I love your Christmas cards, Crystal! So presh. The only problem is we need a family pic to GO in our Xmas card! Hmm...I wonder if we can make a trip to Cville sometime soon...
I love the "Love One Another" Christmas card. Cute colors and design!
This giveaway rocks and I would be honored to win. :)
I just visited her and left comment love. Her little one is just too precious.
Something that is less ordinary about me is that I like to dip french fries in ice cream :o)
love Blessed. Kinda makes me want to send cards before Thanksgiving. hmmmm.
I am a follower of your blog.
Hmmm....something a little less ordinary about me? I took 4 years of Latin in high school.
Tabula Rosa is all I remember....lol
Took a peek around her blog. Beautiful photos. I am loving the shot with the TONS of pumpkins on the steps. Just beautiful.
I follow your blog :)
so if I leave comments for other people does that make me a super stalker? Just left one for sara.
Ooh, it's all very sweet, but I do especially love the snowy winter branches card!
i follow ur blog on my google reader
My favorite is called Christmas Cheer, the 3rd one pictured in your post. Her shop has so many great designs! Something less ordinary about me is that I will be combining my Christmas card and a Birth Announcement this year! I will have a c-section on Dec. 14th, an will be rushing to get the Holiday/Announcement card out after that, with a pic of our fresh new daughter with us in the hospital!
I blogged about the giveaway!!!

i love the 2 turtle dove design 4 Christmas cards - adorable!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the red and green custom photo. So cute and perfect for the family pictures we just had taken.
Pick me, pick me!
Something a little less ordinary about myself? Where to start!!
I don't like the foods on my plate to touch each other.
My knees are double jointed.
I eat M&M's by color. First the red ones, then the green ones...
a less ordinary fact about me? i went to 14 parent/teacher conferences on Tuesday - & worked 6 hrs!!! whew! ;0)
Hmm...something less ordinary...these kind of questions always make me panic at events when there are ice breakers like this. Okay, here we go: I have my degree in elementary education but don't ever want to teach again. What I DO want to do someday when my kids are older is work as a secretary just like Pam on the Office. Yep, I spent thousands of dollars at college so I can be a secretary one day.
i follow your blog already

Her peace, love and joy design is my fave!

i facebooked about it :)
I like so many of them, but my favorite is the one on pg 13 with green trim and white polka dots!
something not so ordinary about me is that my husband and I didn't kiss until the day we got engaged.

i think i found your announcement for aaron....."what boys are made of" i totally heart it!!
and the early christmas present announcement
something less than ordinary..... what to divulge...
whenever i eat colored candy i have to eat one color at a time. come by my desk when i'm eating skittles or starbursts or even m&m's and you'll see little piles of colors, eating them in a certian order. i heart sour patch kids, but i can't eat them during a movie for this very reason!
I big puffy heart the festive dots return address labels. Super cute and great for Christmas cards
Hmm, I tend to think I'm a little plain Jane, but something less ordinary about me...
I live by to-do lists. I'm guilty of doing something, and then adding it to my to-do list, just so I can cross it off! :)
Left a comment on Sara's blog!
I love the funky polka dots. Anything blue and red also! So many to love!
Less then ordinary about myself? HUM... I never wear shoes.. ONLY flip flops!
I blogged it also! LOVE the shop!
I follow your blog!
I follow your blog :) This is a great giveaway!
I follow your blog :)
I don't know if this is less ordinary...my hubby and family think so...I eat my fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt the way it is...with the fruit on the bottom! No mixing for me :P
Wow, I love the "A beautiful red and green custom photo Christmas card". But how would I choose if I really won!?
I follow your blog (and it's my fave of the ones I follow...no kidding!)!!
So hard to pick a favorite...Sara is so talented! I'll have to say the Happy Dot Holiday photo card is the current front-runner! Thanks for the cool giveaway! I'm so excited :)
I just mentioned this giveaway on Facebook. I'm hoping I'm lucky enough to win!
I just started to look through her site and right now there are 8 holiday designs that I like (and I only got to page 8 out of 22!) I really like the Merry Christmas card in mint green with 3 photo spots. So many great photo card designs!
I like the charlie brown Christmas tree ones, they are simple but very cute!
I posted the giveaway on FB too!
Something a little less ordinary about me...hmm...in high school I was a leather jacket wearing, Marlboro smoking, I-hate-everyone kind of chic...and for some reason, they voted me Prom Queen. Still trying to figure that one out. :)
BTW, Leah31 is me too, I think I switched accounts when I became a follower.
Something that is a little less ordinary is that I am 6'2 and have the hardest time finding pants that have either 36" or 37" inseam. Yeah I don't like to go shopping much for pants, when you don't have a lot of money.

I am a new follower of your blog!! I also visited Less Ordinary Designs and my favorite card is the "Funky Christmas Tree." Thanks for sharing!! Love your page!

I just figured out how to subscribe to your blog via goggle....moving forward technologically don't you think???
Love the cards!

facebook it.
I commented on her blog - another incredible photog...I'm starting to smell a new hobby brewing.... :)
I think my fave design is the Bah Humbug with the scowling baby! Too cute!
Something less ordinary about me...if I have more than one kind of food on my plate, I have to eat one bite of each thing evenly so that when I get to the last few bites, they have been evenly distributed. So I can't eat the entire portion of mashed potatoes at once. I have to eat a bite of stuffing, a bite of green beans, and a bite of turkey and THEN I can go back to the mashed potatoes.
Okay...that sounds c.r.a.z.y. when I write it out like that. I do it subconsciously though...don't even realize I'm doing it!
I am already a follower of your lovely blog. :) LOVE.IT.
OMG I am in loveeee with all of these designs!!! :) I adore the "Charlie Brown tree" holiday card! Thanks for offering up this amazing giveaway!!!

I visited her etsy store and I had so much fun looking around!!! :) I really liked the "Merry Everything and Happy Always". It doesn't get better than that phrase! How clever! However, my ultimate favorite was the Charlie Brown Christmas. It's my favorite Christmas story and to see the her Christmas card based on it really just made me smile!! I think I would love to include her phrase "Merry Everything and Happy Always" on that particular card, because what better a phrase to go along with Charlie Brown's Christmas. :)
Hey Hey Hey...I just commented on Sara's blog! :)
either the snowflake whimsy or A whimsical custom, photo holiday card from your family
I follow your blog! Hope I win!!

Hey Crystal ~ not sure that you are the "blog award" type, but I gave you one anyway :) Come check it out on my blog if you want. Thanks for the ideas and smiles you give!
I am a follower :)
I follow you! And in a fun way, not a creepy stalker way :)
I love the "Merry Everything"
Less ordinary...
My kids are the same age apart as my sister and I...
I am soooo ordinary! and I am OK with that!
Oh, all of her cards are so lovely (and I love cards) ~ how do you choose just one? Ok, I narrowed it down to 4, but I think if I had to choose today, I would go with Merry Christmas everything and happy holidays ~ perfect for a family photo and a single pic of each of our 3 kiddos.
Something about me thats a little less ordinary... I absolutely hate, loathe, despise chocolate. I think its disgusting!

I can't tell you how many times I have perused these cards through the year, ever since I saw them first on My Mom Shops last Christmas. I love them all. I totally can't say what my favorite is. I like the damask background ones, the comfort and joy one. So many great designs! Thank you for the chance to actually get some! I now have YOU bookmarked!
I follow your blog too! :)

Oooh these cards are fabulous!!
I really don't think I could narrow it down to pick just one favorite though, but I am quite partial to both the Snowy Winter Branches and the Cheery Colors cards!
Lovely!!

Love this giveaway! It's not the one I would choose for me, but the bah humbug card made me laugh out loud. :) Sara did our cards last year, and they were AWESOME!

Hmmm...less ordinary about me...my mom is half japanese, and somehow, I ended up with blonde hair and blue eyes, and look NOTHING like her....dad must have some strong genes. :)
She just did my birth announcements and they were amazing! (well not MY birth announcements - but my sons :) )
I like so many but I think Happy Dot Holiday is one of my favorites!
