Shirts with A Holiday Theme from CafePress

You can find shirts for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Easter--Oh yes, St. Patrick's Day!

Shirts with a big design show up nicely in a photo!

Don't break the bank finding outfits, though. These tees are affordable, but you could make one of your own, as well.

Try cross-stitching or even stenciling a big pattern on a shirt. 100% cotton is the best fabric.

Holiday Outfits From Kelly's Kids

My step-daughter sells Kelly's Kids. They always have the cutest outfits for the holiday season. The company even has matching sibling clothing.

Go to the Kelly's Kids website. Create an account. You have to do this to order. On the form there is a question at the bottom that says "Would you like a Kelly's Kids Rep to receive credit?"

Please put in Whitney Staggs as the rep you want to use.

Our 2007 Christmas Card photo shoot was a real CIRCUS!

Notice the matching holiday outfits. They were easy to supply. The shirts have the same applique. And what is cuter than red and white checks? Start looking now for your appliqu�s (links for free patterns are provided below so keep on scrolling).

I think that a simple outfit is the best choice for a family holiday photo.

Christmas Circus Photo Shoot 2007

Our experience taking the photo for our 2007 Christmas Card. Five Grandkids under four years of age are a bit much to handle. Music is by the California Guitar Trio from their 2001 album "10 Christmas Songs".
