Okay, I usually do two or three totally different styles, and I'll be glad to work up a few more for you to consider...but here's what I have so far. The pregnancy test in the stocking in your siggie is just so cute, I thought I'd try to replicate it. But, I had a little issue...I don't have a stinking fireplace, and it NEEDS one! Ditto with the stocking. I've found an awesome kit that has both, but wanted to see if you even like it before I buy that. So, the black box is where the fireplace would go, with a stocking hanging from it and the test sticking out:
It will NOT hurt my feelings AT ALL if you don't like it, so be honest...PM me if you'd like. I have other Christmasy kits in red/green, blues, white/gold, etc. that I can work you up samples in. Oh, and I have one with a really cute reindeer (I remember you mentioning that) too. Actually, I could add that to this one...make it look like a stuffed reindeer under the tree or in a stocking or something. Whatever you want! I can add/remove/totally change anything.
ETA: Now that I look at it, the preview is pretty crappy quality - no worries, the original is MUCH clearer and more legible.
kristin i LOVE it!!..i love how the kids are hanging on the wall..i really love this one ..i think ill pass on the reindeer just because i love this one LOL
Aww! Are you SURE? I don't mind whipping up something with a reindeer too! I was playing around with frames for the picture and stuck them in the wreath...and thought, hmm, they need a fireplace... That picture is just SO perfect, especially of Jessie.
I was thinking maybe a dark green border around the whole thing, and maybe a few presents under the tree if I can make them look right.
We'll be gone for most of the day, but I'll get the kit tonight and try to get it finished up for you. But again...if you decide you want to see something different too, I totally don't mind.

Ugh, crazy weekend - sorry I haven't finished it up already. I was working on it and can't quite decide where to put the BFP. My first thought was in the stocking...but I have to size it down SO much to make it proportionate that you can't really tell what it is. I'd have to make it smaller than it is in the preview here to be happy with it. I tried lying it under the tree with a bow too, and left both (for now) so you can tell me what YOU like best!
This still isn't finished, of course...I have to go back and touch a few things up, take out a BFP, re-do the names to make it look better.
Oh! I stuck your reindeer in there too. Let me know if you like him or if you want him gone. And for that matter, ANYTHING else you see that you'd like changed!
Okay, here's what I did to start with...and again, it's pretty crappy quality but you can see the basics:
And then I thought it looked a little unbalanced, so I added a chair on the right:
Sooo...I need to know which one you like best...if you like the fancy writing or if you'd like something more like handwriting or something cutesy...and if you want stockings hanging from the fireplace. They might be "too much" but I'll be glad to add them so you can see if you'd like. Let me know if there's ANYTHING else you'd like changed! Once we have it right, I'll save it in the highest quality so it'll look awesome when you have them printed.

I just emailed you the high-resolution image - let me know that it came through okay, it's a pretty big file.
