Christmas Card Time With Shutterfly!!!

I love pictures...it's plain to see from this blog that I've become a bit obsessed with taking photos. Jani even plays with my old Minnie Mouse camera from when I was little. Not surprising that I love making Christmas cards each year. I love sorting through them online, picking one out that perfectly matches our outfits and conveys the holiday message I'm trying to express. For the first 4 years of our marriage, it was just Doug and I on the card. The first year, a picture from our honeymoon. The next year, a picture of us in front of the tree in our new house. After that, a picture at my parent's home. The fourth year, a carefully posed picture...both of us hiding the fact that we were disappointed there was no baby or pregnant belly in the picture. But then last year...Jani...wrapped in Christmas lights :) Our own little Christmas blessing. This year? What will our Christmas card look like? You can bet my baby girl's smiling face will be front and center. I love that about Christmas cards. They express the happiness of life....everything we are so thankful for during the most wonderful time of the year.Along with giving Christmas cards, I love giving gifts. I seriously considering gift tags. How awesome are these?! I love them :) I've also been contemplating a way to document my year. I've been doing photo books and love having them at home but I think I need something to stare at while I'm working. A personalized calendar is at the top of my list. What are your Christmas card plans? Want some free cards? Check it out!!
