Shutterfly, Oh Shutterfly, How do I love thee....

...Let me count the ways...or just the time I've saved in using you...

I discovered Shutterfly a little over a year ago, on the recommendation of a friend...and the rest is history. I used to spend countless hours, days, weeks and months scrap booking. Once I found shutterfly, no more of that AND I could actually share my creations with my parents and inlaws...instead of just showing them ONE book that took me weeks to make. Now I make myself a photo book and give them one for Christmas. I just completed this years book two days ago. It took me about 3 hours (probably would have taken less time if I didn't have 300 pictures lol). But needless to say, I put the kids to bed and made an entire photo book in one night.

We just had our family pictures made, so of course I want my kids sweet faces plastered on the front of our Christmas cards. I chose the card below (but with my kids' faces on it of course ;o) because it just fits my family. I think it took me longer to choose my card than it did to make my photo book tho...simply b/c there are sooo many cards to choose from.

This one was a close second:

Anyway, I have to say, I'm a little late to the digital age. My husband talked me into giving up my film camera last year, around the time I fell in love with Shutterfly....which works out perfectly for me....lol...and my fridge, which is holding a poster size calendar with a big pic of my kids right smack in the middle :)

My next Shutterfly project.....photo wall art.

So I'm making an edit to this post....my photobook came today (and I believe I just ordered it on Tuesday, so that was fast) and it's AMAZING.
