What a stay at home mom does with a degree in graphic design…

December 7, 2009

I love holiday cards. They are such a welcome change to the millions of catalogs that fill the mailbox this time of year, and it’s fun to see what friends and family have come up with year after year. Plus, they allow me to actually put my degree to use for a change. See, Mom and Dad? It was worth it!

If you want to share your holiday card and see the equivalent of an entire mailbox full without ever leaving your house, link up to the SITSmas carnival on Tuesday. There are prizes, too, including a great one from Bread & Butter!

{Remember to come back on Wednesday for Blog • Bid •Hope, an online auction benefitting The Liz Logelin Foundation & Anissa Mayhew.}

Beautiful! My parents ask me about my International Economics degree all the time. I tell them it really helps me when I’m figuring out if I can have that new Italian purse.

What a cute card! I love Halloween costumes and photos and yours are too cute! My boys had giraffe and monkey costumes this year. They were also Buzz and Woody. We had lots of opportunities to dress up!

Have a fun day!

Merry SITSmas and I love your card! A great way to use your degree (mine, also in graphic design is 7 credits from being complete and will probably stay that way).

love the card. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a graphic design degree and you are much better than I. I just did them on shutterfly. but I changed their font, does that make me a little creative?

I didn’t realize you actually had a degree in graphic design. I knew you were amazingly talented, but not that you were “certified”. :)
