Holiday Cards

My favorite holiday cards are the ones that are personalized. You know the ones. The ones with pictures from the last year, the ones that give you news about what the family has been up to. My favorites though are the ones that show the family as themselves.

I have to say that I haven't been that great at getting our cards out the past few years. I mean, I have great intentions. I get everything together, make the card or newsletter and admire how great I think it represents us for that year. But then it happens. The business of the season and my wonderful cards never get sent out. Only I have been left to admire it.

Well, not this year!

This year I am using Shutterfly (http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards) to do my cards. I have the perfect one picked out...
...or maybe this one...  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
...or maybe you will just have to wait and see if I choose something different!
 
 
The great thing about Shutterfly (other than their prices!) is that they have tons other great things to choose from too!  For instance, if I get busy and forget the great Christmas card that I picked out, (*ahem* NOT gonna happen this year!), then they have these great New Year Cards (http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/new-years-cards) and I'm still doing good!

And, another thing that I'm eyeing...

These calendars.  Not only are they pretty, but they are functional too!  With the kids busy schedules I have to keep a calendar and I think this may be the perfect one!  (http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars)  
 
Another great thing about Shutterfly...Everything is customizeable so it shows our family's personality.  They even have labels to coordinate with the card you choose.  Love. Love. LOVE it when there is a time saver involved ;) ! 
 
This year they are even giving you 50 FREE Holiday Cards!!!  That's right...Bloggers get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly… just apply here: http://bit.ly/sfly2010
 
 
I can't wait to pick out the perfect card to send...just in time for Christmas!  Now all I have to do is get that perfect picture!  But, that would involve having perfect kids so I think we will just get one that captures our personalities best! 
 
Betcha can't wait to see it!!!!  I know I can't!!!!
