Family Photos, Christmas Cards, and Sales

I am trying to be on top of things this year (as far as Christmas cards and gifts) and take advantage of the early bird discounts. Today I ordered a number of gifts and our cards from Shutterfly: card2011. It has taken me several days to make a final decision on a design. It came down to which design our picture would fit on, and that wouldn't cost a small fortune! We had professional family photos taken in October -- by Amy Jacobs Photography (she is AMAZING, friendly, responsive, helpful, funny, and has great taste in music!) on location in Bell Buckle and the Webb School. We had a really nice time and the results are great pictures. I had to finagle some of the pictures since Shutterfly cards don't really work well with professional size (i.e., HUGE) images. In the end I am happy with our final product (plus I can't wait for all the other stuff I ordered!).

They are having a card sale (40% off -- use CARD40), 25% on photo books (automatically discounted), and free shipping on orders over $30 (SHIP30). These sales are only good for the next few days to the end of the month (depending), so move it!

Anyway, let's hope I can get these packaged, addressed, stamped, and mailed by December 15th! That might be a new record for me!

Here is a sneak peek!
