oh, how i love thee, shutterfly

what's not to love? 

they have the most beautiful personalized cards at such an affordable price. 

not to mention, the orders come super fast! 

previous experiences ordering from them (and a couple job offers to my husband lol) tell me that their production facility is based in hayward, ca (or somewhere in the bay area) 

so orders arrive very quickly after they are complete. 

i love ordering our birth announcements from them.

that means i'm already browsing through styles that i may use when little wyatt arrives. 

crazy, i know.

this one is my favorite right now. 

so stinkin' adorable...i could die!

but, first thing's first. i'm still trying to get through christmas! 

i'm swooning over their gorgeous new designs for holiday cards. 

i don't typically like to have too many pictures on my cards and stick with just one decent shot of the kids or kids and parents. 

{notice how i emphasize decent. i've come to terms with the fact that i will never ever get a good family picture until isaiah graduates from high school.}

but with all the great new styles they have this year, i'm starting to think i'll have to change my mind!

this style, in particular, would look great with the pictures i took of the boys the other day.

another great gift idea to design through shutterfly are their wall calendars.  .

what grandparent doesn't love to stare at the adorable faces of their grandbabies 365 days a year?!

as if shutterfly isn't awesome enough, they are offering all bloggers 50 free holiday cards just for writing a blog post about their designs or other your previous experience with them. 

now, they are officially beyond awesome in my book. 

so if you haven't ordered your cards yet and have a blog, you don't want to miss out on this great offer!

happy holidays!!!
