It's (almost) the most wonderful time of the year!!!

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love it all – the decorating, the baking, the present buying, the music.. the list goes on and on. One of my most favorite “tasks” of the holiday season is getting our Christmas cards done. I love finding/taking the PERFECT picture, finding the perfect design and waiting to hear what people think of it once they get them in the mail!

Shutterfly has always been my “go-to” site for ordering Christmas cards from. Our last year’s card was so different and well received I couldn’t wait to see what they had in store for 2010!

This year has been a year full of changes for our family: the main one is that I had gastric bypass surgery and have lost over 100lbs. This year, for the first time since Ellery was born almost 4 years ago, we’ll be using a family picture on our card. I’ve been thrilled with the choices available from Shutterfly as I eagerly anticipate the reaction to this year’s card!

I don’t want to spoil the surprise and show you which card we’ll be using this year, but why don’t you take a look at the links below to cards, as well as some of my favorite products – which, by the way, make great gifts for the grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc on your list!
