My experience with Shutterfly...
So, I've always heard of Shutterfly. So many people use it, swear by it, and love it. There are so many picture storing sites on the web, I've heard of so many. I've taken some time to look at some of them but have yet to make a decision.
Seeing as how I keep all of our pictures on the computer in nice neat folders, I didn't really see the need. I am very organized about it and have spent some time developing a system. However, when our computer crashed about 3 months ago, my access to those pictures was gone. It is then when I realized I needed to figure out a backup plan to my nice and neat folder system.
Well, fast forward through our move to an apartment in waiting for our house and now back to packing up to make the move into the house and I have had no time to think about it. So, when my cousin blogged about Shutterfly's Holiday Card Giveaway, I thought this would be the perfect time to test out their services and finally start to make the move to a back up system to my fancy, dancy folder system.
So I went to Shutterfly's site and basically the deal is this - you blog about this and you get 50 free stationary Christmas cards. UHM, HELLO!? That is like a huge deal! That is 50 free of the notecard type Christmas cards....not the cheesey Walmart photo kind (yes, I am guilty of using them!) Besides, you know if you use Walmart there are going to be like 3 of the same cards you picked coming back to you in the mail....so unoriginal!
I kept looking and found even greater things...Garrett's family exchanged calendars each year. So, I always make a yearly calendar . I've used Walmart before and was unhappy with the quality. I might just have to break down and buy one from here this year and see the quality.... besides, these are great gifts for grandparents!
But what I am most excited about checking out is the canvas art. We had our family pictures taken almost 3 years ago by an amazing photographer in Abilene and ordered a canvas print from her. However, there are times I wish I had more from some of the snapshots I take. Knowing photo places are starting to offer this service is so great and I will definately be ordering.
When I say they have selection, I mean it. They might have the best selection of photo products I've seen.
So, heres the promo....Which I think is just geinus on Shutterfly's part....

I've been searching their site for a design for our card and while I haven't found it yet, I am loving all the fun, bright designs they have to choose from. I am not a very formal type person and the picture we are going to use is a very fun picture...so I am loving all the options they have for a fun card!
So, go, do it....I really think I am going to be happy I did.....oh, and Shutterfly, thanks for this opportunity. What a great way to test out your products for me, and for you to show all of your great stuff!
