The 2012 Crazybananas Holiday Card!

This year, since my favorite family photographer moved to Denver, I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to get a great shot of the kids, Trent and I for a holiday card. We can be (ahem) a bit difficult to work with, and I knew the stress of it all wouldn’t be worth it this year. I was browsing the all knowing Internet for a solution, when I found the awesome Etsy Shop, Local Honey. The artist, Kelly Christine, is a photographer from Texas who moonlights as a pretty fantastic illustrator. She will take photos of your family and draw a custom portrait just for you! I contacted her about wanting to do an illustration for our holiday card and she was totally on board. Didn’t it turn out adorable?! I love it so much and have the original hanging in our home.

On the back side I used a few Instagram images I love, Tate riding in the wagon at the farm, Trent and I in New York City and Lucy at soccer. I wrote a little note detailing our year (which pretty much everyone knows already due to this here blog) and thanking our friends and family for being so amazing. We used Minted this year for our cards (read more about why here) and I love the quality.

2012 has been a fun year creatively for me and other members of the Crazybananas family, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have received a few inquiries about some of my work being up for sale. In the past, the idea of selling anything I’ve made has sounded pretty darn horrifying, but since it’s the holidays (and since I am now jobless…eeek!) I figured it’s a good time to make some items available!

You can buy the book that documents the NYC + KC project, with photos by myself and my best friend Theresa Frey, over at Blurb.com. The book is an awesome gift idea, comes in both hardcover and softcover, and is even available as an ebook (for $4.99…a total steal)!

The second item up for grabs is a print of a photograph I took (and posted a few months back) of a rainbow during a storm in Gove, Kansas. I have a limited number of 8×8 prints for sale, and a few have already been snatched up, so if you’re interested, please send me an email at megan@crazybananas.com.

Thank you again for all of your support this year! 2013 is already shaping up to be incredible, and I can’t wait to share all of my upcoming plans. Hooray!
