The weather outside is frightful, but these CARDS are so delightful

It's that time of year already when my Christmas cards should really be written, addressed, stamped, and in the mail. As I write this, there's a good old-fashioned Minnesota blizzard going on outside. We're due for 10+ inches of snow and high winds and ridiculous wind chills. This is a perfect day for cozying up by the fire, sipping hot cocoa, and pulling out a good book or movie. I've done some of that....I've also done some laundry, baking, cleaning, and present-wrapping. The gifts have got me thinking about Christmas and those cards that should already be in the mail. And then I remember this fabulous promotion Shutterfly is doing for bloggers. 50 free cards for blogging about Shutterfly.

I have ordered from Shutterfly many times in the past. I've always been pleased with their prices and quality of products I've received. My sister and I have made several photo calendars that have proven to be a much anticipated gift tradition in our family. Throughout the year, family members consistently ask if this might be an opportunity to get some photos for next year's calendar? These calendars are a cinch to put together and the finished product looks wonderful!


One thing I really appreciate about Shutterfly is that you can always find a good deal on something. They are always running some sort of a promotion that allows you to try new products in an affordable way.

As I scan through this year's Christmas cards, here are some of my favorites:




I find the cards to be very classy, yet sweet. Wouldn't you love to receive one of these in the mail? (covered with lovely photos of OUR family of course :o) I'm also considering ordering this mousepad for Grandma at her office...cute huh? I gotta go make my order!
