It's That Time of Year!

I love Christmas, like big puffy pink heart LOVE Christmas.  It is by far my favorite holiday season.  I love the baking, gift buying and wrapping, spending time with loved ones, and especially, sending out Christmas cards!

I have sent our cards every year since I became a Mrs. and every year my list grows longer and longer.  Because of that I make sure I am organized and normally manage to send out my cards just a few days after Thanksgiving.  So I am already in the middle of my search for the perfect card!

The first few years Skip and I were married, I sent out basic greeting cards.  But since Little M came along, photo cards are a must!  And where better to turn than Shutterfly.  This has always been one of my go-to websites for prints and photo books, so it makes an obvious choice for Christmas cards as well!

I could peruse their website for hours on end....seriously!  Here is just a little sampling of some of their amazing products.

I'm Roman Catholic and so I like for my Christmas cards to be religious in nature.  How perfect would these be?
This one is so sweet and simple.  I love the wording, but it is not so religious that you couldn't also send it to someone who does not celebrate Christmas.

'O Holy Night' is my favorite Christmas song and I am a sucker for black and white cards.

I also love that Shutterfly also has party invitations!  This would be perfect for our annual Christmas party!

Another fabulous black and white option
With Halloween upon us and Christmas right around the corner, I have got some decisions to make soon!  What are your plans for holiday cards this year?




Disclaimer: I will be receiving free holiday cards from Shutterfly for review.  However, I was not paid for this post and all of these opinions are my own.  I was not influenced in any way.

    I sent them out every year. Except last year. Last year, I was getting ready to do them, then everything with my dad happened, and instead of sending cards to Seattle, the girls and I were on our way to Seattle!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
