Shutterfly... oh, How I Love Thee

I can not believe that Christmas is just around the corner!  
Where the heck did this year go! 

A few weeks ago we finally got to take some family photos, thanks to my SIL Katie.  She did an amazing job in capturing our family!  At first, I thought there was no way we got a single good shot because my boys just wouldn't cooperate.  However, I was very wrong.  We got some great ones!  Here are my favorite ones!
 And now, I can finally start to process of ordering our Christmas card!  And there is no other place I would go to order them, than good old Shutterfly.   Last year, the ones I picked came out so great!  I loved them!!

 So this year won't be any different.  Their collection of Christmas cards is awesome, the only problem I'm having trouble with is PICKING which one I want to use!  
I'm even contemplating doing more then just a Christmas card.  Last year I made a Shutterfly mug for my dad with the grand-kiddies on them and that was a huge success.  I think I may want to do a Calendar or something for Jesse's parents. 

A few weeks ago my friend had a Shutterfly photo book party at her house and we all got a free photo book.  Needless to say I have been spending hours upon hours trying to do my first book.  I just can't seem to make up my mind.  However, they are going to make for some great Christmas gifts this year!  

I'm really looking forward to this year... Have you thought about your Christmas cards yet?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Shutterfly and their books are great! I ordered our "First Year of Marriage" book last month and people are amazed that I did it, not a professional. The quality is just that good :) Oh, and you can't go wrong with their cards either. Ours are stuffed and stamped already!

Hi Lyryn. I doubt you remember me- I used to be "celly" on livejournal back in the good ole days before blogging exploded! Anyways, I've been following you, Katie, Susie, for awhile now and just started blogging again so I wanted to say hi. I have two little boys now too!
