Christmas Cards by Shutterfly

I confess, I haven't sent out Christmas cards in years. So long, in fact, that I can't remember when the last time was! I don't even give them out in person! Don't get me wrong - I always mean to. I just never get around to it! With a little one that seems to change every day, I find my desire to send some cards out this year to be even stronger! I was excited when I saw an advertisement for Shutterfly's blogger special - in exchange for writing a post about their photo cards, I will receive 50 cards free! I don't know about you, but this fits my budget perfectly!

As I have never ordered from Shutterfly before, I headed over to check out their selection of Christmas cards. I've seen numerous deals for photo cards for free or next-to-nothing, but I never really found any I wanted to pay the shipping for. That changed when I got to Shutterfly's site! They have page after page of card designs! There are options available for one photo, or if a photo collage is your taste, they have quite a few of those, too! It's so easy to customize your design choice with your family's names, and then drop your photo into your card. The cards are printed on cardstock, which appeals to me, as I've received bent photo cards from friends and family more than once. If you prefer photo paper, they have that option, too.


After making six different cards, this is the one I finally chose (except it will have our names and my own children on it, of course!). I liked so many of the designs, it was hard to only pick one! Shutterfly also has many other items you can customize with your photos - what grandparent wouldn't like a mug or calendar featuring their precious grandchildren?

If you haven't gotten started on your cards yet, you can click here and use the code ZP9A-4N4K-TWWZ-EUC5C5 to get 10 cards free - just pay shipping and handling, which starts at $5.99. Hurry, because this code only lasts through December 8th!

To Do List Update

Well, my list from the other day became a list for the WEEK. I still did not get a lot of it accomplished, sadly enough.

1. Clean the kitchen: inside fridge, inside cupboards, pantry, stove top, counters, dishes, floor, top of fridge.
2. Laundry: change bedsheets, wash blankets.
3. Dining room: clear table, go through clutter on one of the bookcases.

I'm not showing yet, but I already feel slower than I normally am. I guess I've already got my list of goals started for this week!

Resolutions

I realized last night that I hadn't made a list of resolutions for this year, as I normally do. Over the past few years, I've taken to making a list of long-term goals for the year, some medium-length ones, and some short-term goals. I decided that, this year, I just have WAY too much to accomplish to do that. I decided I'm going to post weekly or even daily goals. I was going to use the "to-do list" gadget, but it seems to be broken. So, I'll just post my lists in the regular fashion, and edit it later as I get done.

My list for today:

1. Clean the kitchen: inside fridge, inside cupboards, pantry, stove top, counters, dishes, floor, top of fridge.
2. Laundry: change bedsheets, wash blankets.
3. Dining room: clear table, go through clutter on one of the bookcases.

It is already noon. If I can get all that done today, I will feel awesome! And, reward myself by going to Moms' group tonight (I'll do that, anyway!).
