Let me tell you a secret. Come closer. Ok (looking around to be sure no one else is listening) Shutterfly. Did you hear me? Good. Now let's keep that between us because I don't want to have EVERY body knowing about this AMAZING secret!!
Shutterfly is a great site to upload pictures and share them. Here is a link to my share site http://kerrfamily6.shutterfly.com/. This is the place where I would upload before I started REALLY blogging. The great thing about this is that you upload your pictures and click share. Done. Two tasks taken care of. Your pictures (in large quantities) are all saved so just in case your computer dies, you won't lose all those precious memories. And, you can email Grandma and Dear Aunt Millie to direct them to see those pictures. They can then order whatever pictures they want to!!
But.....this post is about Christmas Cards!! Do you send them?? I do, every year. I love the whole process of doing it, writing the family newsletter, picking the perfect picture, and the perfect card. I also LOVE receiving cards in the mail. One of my favorite parts of the holiday, in fact.
Shutterfly has come to my rescue for the last couple of years. I can go to their site, upload our picture, pick a card and have the cards/envelopes sent directly to me. (The great thing is now, you can just send them directly from their site!!)
Here are several links to cards on Shutterfly's website:

These are a few of my favorite designs....I tell ya, that is the hardest part, picking the card.....Also, another great thing, you can print your family greeting (including a newsletter update) right when you pick the card! What a time saver!!
And......if you can't get your Christmas card out in time, because of all the Holiday Festivities that you have on your calendar then you can send out this (or any one of the beautiful designs Shutterfly offers) for New Years!
The hardest part is going to be picking out which card is your favorite! Here's a tip: Curl up with a blanket, a Christmas station playing on Pandora, and send your hubby/kids out of the house. Take your time. This will be the card that you will remember!! Have fun!
Oh, and here is a sneak peek of Our Christmas card...these are NOT the actual pictures or newsletter that will be sent, but you get the idea....

I think......
Have a very Happy Holiday Season!
