I'm checking my list and checking it twice...

gonna find out who's naughty or nice!  Seriously, though, this is the time of year when I break out with list after list after list...I even have a list for all the lists I need to make..LOL!  But one of my most important lists is my Christmas Card List.   I try to narrow it down each year, but it just seems almost impossible.   But even more important than the list is the Christmas Cards themselves!  I spend a lot of time taking pictures for Christmas Cards (just ask my kids!!), so I always want to find the perfect card to "showcase" my picture(s) on.  The perfect card can make a simple picture "pop", and you know that's what you want when your friends/faraway family haven't seen your children/family in a while!

So this year, I got an free holiday card blog promotion through Shutterfly.  FREE----woohoo!!  Those of you that know me well, know that I LOVE FREE!!  So very quickly I began searching through their beautiful Christmas/Holiday photo cards and man was I impressed!  There were so many beautiful styles, I wondered how I could possibly pick just one!  I began "trying all the cards out" (kind of like trying on clothes to see what fits), but in this circumstance it is to see which one made my pictures "POP"!  I had 4 pictures that I wanted to place on the card (you can even filter your search by how many pictures you have), so after looking at the styles that were available with that many pictures, I finally chose the Family Roster.  I had a very hard time choosing because they all look so good!  But I wanted a card that would let me showcase each child, then have one picture of the three of them that "popped" out...and this one just did it for me.  Shutterfly is offering 20% off their holiday cards, that's a great deal, especially for the quality you will receive!

Are you looking for Christmas gifts??  What about a calendar for the upcoming year?  Grandparents always love having a calendar with the grandkids pictures on it throughout the year.  Shutterfly has many calendars to choose from.  While you are making your cards and already have pictures uploaded, why don't you go ahead a make a calendar or two (they offer some great deals on additional purchases!)

And while I was there, I also checked out the Baby Birthday Invitations...cause a certain baby boy I know has a birthday coming up shortly after Christmas!  And as much as I don't like to think about two "special occasions" at once, I must begin to get my mind in order regarding a birthday party very quickly once the Christmas tree is down!

Go check out Shutterfly, they have so much to offer, great deals, and super quality on their products!!  I can't wait to see what you choose!!
