Bloggers who use Shutterfly and write a quick post about their experiences with the photo site get 50 free holiday cards! That's fantastic! The offer closes today, so hurry if you still want to get in on this! I know that tons of blogs I read took advantage of this super offer.
I am having a really hard time deciding which card to use because they have a TON to choose from...check them out for yourself. I'm a very indecisive person, and gosh- there are SO many cute designs. Do I use all of our photo options? Do I stick to 2-3 pictures? Or just 1? But how on earth do I choose just one photo?
Ever since Sam and Anna were born, I've uploaded all of our pictures to Shutterfly - they make it really easy to share photos, which my mother in law loves. I'm a little behind in ordering prints, but once winter break arrives, I know what will be near the top of my to-do list.
I wasn't aware of all the photo gifts that Shutterfly has until I poked around their website. I will definitely keep them in mind for next Christmas- I'm sure any photo gift would be a big hit with the grandmas!
I love making photo books on Shutterfly as well. While on maternity leave, I created one for my mom with pictures of all her grandchildren. She keeps it in her purse to share with anyone that will look at it. When we had to put down our dog Benelli in September, I decided to start a tradition of creating a photo book in memory of each dog we will have. It was a great way to help me process my grief, and I will cherish Benelli's photo book for many years to come.
I also created a photo book for my husband for an anniversary gift one year filled with photos of us over the 10+ years that we've known each other- it turned out great! 
When Sam and Anna turn one, I fully intend to do a one year photo book that highlights my favorite pictures from the year (The undecided question is: One photo book for each child? Or a combined photo book for both babies?)
So there you go- Shutterfly (and our daycare provider) saved the day for us! Now I just have to hope the cards arrive in time for me to find time to address them!

Love it! I just ordered my Christmas cards from a site that was doing the same thing plus free overnight shipping. I thought, what the heck.

That's a great idea to do a book for the babies one year birthday. As a twin myself I can't stress enough how much it would mean to each child once they get older to have a book of their own where "they" are the focus. Just a suggestion.
Are you kidding me?! I didn't know about this offer and just ordered my 50 Shutterfly cards at full price. Boo.
I love Shutterfly though. I made Matt's mom a canvas bag with Camden's picture on it for Christmas, and my sister and I make calendars with grandkid pictures for my parents every year. So many cute things!
I used this offer, too, and love Shutterfly. I will tell you that, I did all the blog post stuff, etc and they sent me the code to use. When I went to order my PHOTO CARDS the code didn't work. So I called and was told that the 50 free was not for photo cards but for other stationary that they sell. I said, "well, it's a shame that I'm going to have to go do a nasty blog post now about being deceived..." Needless to say, they quickly fixed the problem and I got my 50 free photo cards. Hopefully you don't have the same issue.
And I'm sure the cards will be fabulous - you have tons of cute pics to choose from. We just went with a single one b/c it's hard enough for me to get a one decent photo I like.
I designed and printed my own cards this year but what an awesome deal! I'll make sure to tell others about it. And poor little Anna Banana. Hope she feels better soon!
