The holidays are here! The holidays are here! Every year the season sneaks up on me and each year I have the brilliant idea to order those gorgeous holiday photo cards. You know, those adorable ones with the photo collage and just enough room to put all your favorite pictures from throughout the year. I get giddy with excitement when I open holiday cards from family and friends. Displaying the cards we receive is like my own popularity contest, and I feel extra special when the number of cards we receive each year increases. There is something about sharing with others how our family grows but even more rewarding knowing that my friends want to share with us the same.
The first Christmas of my oldest I was organized enough to get a family portrait taken at a professional studio. After the dramatics of the family photo process, I was disappointed that I was unable to find photo cards within budget. But this year, I am determined to succeed.
I have spent countless hours searching for the perfect store. Shutterfly has it all! Great selection and fantastic deals, so my challenge is deciding which of the fabulous cards to go with. First I can take the easy route using a snapshot of the girls with a short message. Maybe I could insert a newsletter of 2010 with the stationary card. My vote is usually the simple one that requires the least amount of work.
The next selection would be the best of everything I had in mind when sending out holiday cards. It has room for three pictures and just enough text to share the best family adventure tales. Eek, already the decision is getting stressful.
My last selection is a holiday card that doubles as a keepsake calendar. How can it get any better, pictures of the family and a nifty calendar. Ahhh, I'm in love with Shutterfly. Of course, I could just get the year's worth of cards for every occasion in one order. Yes, it would be nice to be ahead of the game.
