Shutterfly rocks!

I have to admit since Svea was born (3 1/2 years ago!) I haven't printed off a single picture from my computer. There are just so many pictures now with the digital cameras that I can't pick which to print. But thankfully I found Shutterfly! I have made all kinds of photo books (http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books) and love every one of them and they ship super fast and do a great job! I was able to custom design some beautiful Mother's Day cards last year and they loved them! Now I am working on creating my holiday cards again for this year. (http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery) I love all the choices they have for organizing the pictures I want on my card. Thanks to my friend Mandy, I have a great family photo that I can use this year. I also am planning on finding some time this weekend to try and get a few candid black and white shots of the kids that I can add into the card to make it even more special. One of the things that I look forward to each year is receiving all the holiday cards from my friends and family. I love it even more now that so many of you are sending photo cards so we can stay up to day with each others rapidly growing families. Getting my family Christmas cards ready each year is the first step in preparing for the holidays. Let the holiday fun begin!

We have been busy planning how to make the family rounds this holiday season. First thing I need to do is pick a family picture for this years holiday cards. And the search begins....
