i just upgraded to a new iphone (vada got me a white 32g for christmas, which i got to open early so i could use it on vacation! haha) so i've been downloading a lot of new apps over the past couple of days. shakeitphoto is one of my favorites. it basically turns your phone into a digital polaroid camera. you can shake the photos as they develop and everything! so fun. get it here.
i've also been playing a lot of words with friends (kind of like scrabble.) my user name is cicuska if you want to play me! :)

most of us are faced with the same dilemma during the holidays... we want to give gifts to EVERYONE but have a limited budget. here is how i solved that problem this year. (kind of, i only wish i would have made more!)
first of all, if you haven't heard of moo mini cards, let me fill you in. they are super cute little 1 1/8" x 2 3/4" cards that you can have printed up with whatever you want. a pack of 100 is only $20, and you can have the same print on each one, make them all different, or any combination in between! uploading your images to the site is simple if you have a flickr account. they arrive within about a week in a pretty little box like this:
ok, so here's what you do!
1. use pictures you have of your friends or steal some off of their flickr or facebook accounts and upload them onto flickr. i use flickr uploader and it's so easy. (download it here.)
2. go to moo.com and have them turned into moo mini cards.
3. get some adhesive backed magnet tape (?) from the craft store and cut it into small squares. you need 2 squares per card.
4. stick the magnets to the back of the cards, one on each side.
(you can have stuff printed on the back of your cards, too!)
5. package them up and give them to all your friends!
there you have it, super cute personalized gifts for less than $5 per person! (assuming you made 10 magnets per gift)
it would probably be cutting it pretty close to have these things ready in time for christmas; sorry i couldn't post this tutorial until after i gave these to my friends! but you could use this idea for literally any occasion. birthday presents, birth announcements, save the dates, or just because... you name it!
i LOVE these little cards because they are so adorable and versatile. my fridge is covered with these magnets, i've used them as business cards and gift tags.. i mean the possibilities are endless. for other people who love these things as much as i do, i sell these cute little decorated tins in my shop (which i just put on vacation mode until december 28th, sorry) that can carry around 10 cards at a time. they are only $5 and super cute, too. another great gift option :)
for those of you who have never made moo mini cards before, you can use this code to receive 15% off your first order: 2RB2CK (got a little coupon with my last order, just thought i'd share, hopefully it works fore everyone!) try them out and let me see what you make!
