The Stress of The Christmas Card!

So I am in need of a vent session about my Christmas card venture! 

In our house we do personalized Christmas cards. We use a family photo or just the kids, we aren’t picky really it just comes down to whatever photo is our favorite! Well this year we have already ordered them and it features just the kids! Well originally I was going to do a family one because we got a really nice family photo done at my bestie’s wedding! I was unable to find a nice card to compliment the picture so I went with a different feel of the card and used just the kids in a completely different setting!

Now I have found one to compliment the family photo!!!! Ha-ha isn’t that the way it goes?! Well I just so happen to have gotten an email from the company I use and they are having a 50% off special and I figured why not have 2 different cards?! One for close friends and family, and one for teachers and more distant friends and family?! Sounds good to me! Hubby thinks it sounds good, so I am all set right?! WRONG!!!! I get to the site and design the card, pick out the envelopes and click on the little Add to cart button and NOTHING!!! I can’t go forward any more than that! It is so frustrating! I have tried it 7 different times now. I clicked for a live chat with someone to help me and it directs me to their hours (which by the way states they are currently open!) So I call the 800 number and guess what it says?! Yup, they are closed! I know they’re not because I have already looked into their hours! I just want to order my cards, is that too much to ask?!

Maybe I should go have a cup of coffee and take another go at it when I am in a caffeinated state of mind?!



UPDATE:
After a cup of coffee, some breakfast, a little house work, and searching for different ideas for our Christmas card the website is up and running properly now and I have ordered our Christmas cards! I don't actually send them out till December 1st but I will certainly post photos of them once they have been sent out and received as to not give away the surprise of them!
