Home-made Christmas cards

This year I decided to make my own Christmas cards to send to my grandparents.

I didn't want to make them at the last minute so I started planning it already in the beginning of December.

So here is what I had to do:

1. Buy a printer (and realize there are hundreds of different ones so spend 10 days deciding which one do I want - this one for 134€)

2. Put up a Christmas tree and decorate it (buy the tree for 30€ and a lot of beautiful ornaments that are cheap individually but together cost over 100€...) 

3. Think of a strange idea of how to add pictures of ourselves to the tree

4. Take the actual photos in 30 minutes and then spend 3 days editing it all together in Photoshop

5. Buy some fancy silver paper for  0.2 €/piece

6. Realize Christmas is over and I still didn't make the cards in time

7. Make the New Year's cards and envelopes (after wasting a lot of paper and ink because I am stupid and printed everything backwards)

So yeah... I think I'll just buy the cards from the store next year.
