Good Motivation.

This long-awaited blog post is presented by Shutterfly. Sadly, I have not lived up to my once a week posting pipe dream (who was I kidding, seriously). BUT, thanks to Shutterfly I have found new motivation {50 free photo cards, oh my!} ...

One of my favorite things about the holiday season are all of the lovely cards people actually take the time to send in the MAIL (probably the most action a mail box ever sees these days). Finally getting to see pictures of family and friends that I don't get to see nearly often enough. I'm one of those crazies who saves holiday photo cards sent to me year after year. No, I wouldn't put myself in the hoarding category, but I hate to not keep pictures. I guess this stems from my not so mild obsession with photos. I digress.

I have used Shutterfly for many, many years now (I'm a Snapfish convert). I love, love their photo books and have created one every year for vacation. When my sweet little niece was born I couldn't resist creating one for my sister's Christmas gift. And now with my two precious girlies, I am more than busy each November getting all my books made! Whew. They make SUPER gifts though. I also love the wall calendars - a hit with family members too! With babies I feel like photo gifts are the easy way out, but I know those gifts are treasured so much more. :) It's a win-win (that is IF I can find time to sit down with Shutterfly for a few hours)!

Last year is the first time I've used Shutterfly for my Christmas cards and I was very happy with the finished product and the price too! :) This year I'm hoping for the cardstock version - definitely my favorite over the photo paper. A friend recently told me about a photographer she uses. You might get recognize a couple of super cute kiddos - don't look too closely - you WILL see one in your mailbox come December...Photoshoot - check! I should be getting my cd of pics soon and then on to picking the perfect Christmas card. I definitely feel ahead of the game on this one.

Lots of love, Kim
