Photo Gifts from Shutterfly

For years, when Richie was little, I'd buy photo cards for Christmas from wherever I could get them the easiest. Once I moved out of my parents' house, however, I found myself falling behind on simple things like Christmas cards. I'd find myself, at the last minute trying to sort through all my pictures and get to the store before the photo counter closed. Yes, even at WalMart, the photo counter isn't open 24/7. Eventually, I gave up on photo cards and just bought generic cards from the drug store. On some years, I'd be fortunate enough to find time to label,stamp and mail them. Other times, the cards would sit, untouched until the holidays were over.

Now, my family has grown and it's not just Richie and I anymore. I want to show off my family to those I don't regularly get to see. Still, I work 12 hours a day. Most places are closed when I come in and by the time I leave, go home, sort out dinner and run to ballgames and practices...everything is yet again closed. Yet, I'm determined to get my cards this year and get them out. My friend Emily posted a blog about Shutterfly's Christmas Cards and other photo gifts available. I was amazed to see all the different styles and designs they offer.

With such a big family the collage cards like the one below are perfect for us:



Of course, I love the color green and I'm not big on going all traditional so this one is also one of my favorites:
 



What's more, Shutterfly has more than just cards. You can order photo books and calenders. The one's below are just a sample of what they offer, check out their site for more...
