Flutterby???? No! It's SHUTTERFLY!

 I first found out about Shutterfly back in 2006 after my wedding. I wanted to create a photo wedding album and looked around for ones that were decently priced but look had a high quality look to them…enter Shutterfly! I was so impressed with the quality that when my sister got married a yearl later, my mom asked me to make a wedding album for her. Not a problem at all! They make it so easy! Even with a demanding full time job and the fact that I am a perfectionist, I was able to have that album complete in no time! Since that time, I have used Shutterfly for many of my personalized print jobs. I have definitely taken advantage of their photo cards. There is just something special about giving someone a card that was personalized specifically for them. The fact that they know you took the time to make something extra special for them shows that you care all the more. Since my husband and I decided to expand our family, the whole Christmas card scene has become a little more important to us than we ever would have previously thought! It is so nice to show family and friends a little slice of the joy in your life at such a joyful time of year. Shutterfly gives you many choices to share your joy! Look here at their Christmas card selection…over 800 different choices! With that many choices, you will have a snowball’s chance in you-know-where of making the same card as someone on your correspondence list.  There are so many stylish options, but I think I am leaning toward this one or this one.  But above the quality, selection, and great prices, I probably love the excellent no-hassle customer service! There was one time I made some photo cards for Father’s Day. When I received my order, I didn’t get the correct amount of a certain print. At most places the customer would be blamed for the mistake (maybe you didn’t hit “print” on the correct project, etc.), but not at Shutterfly! All I did was call them up and explain my issue and they sent me the correct project, no questions asked! It was great..and timely! But anyway, we are talking Christmas here…I was thinking it would be great to make some special photo gifts for our extended, out-of-town family.  Now, let’s be honest, now that we have a baby, no one really cares about me and the Mr. anymore – it’s all about the little man! I am really liking these little snap books! What a great way to carry your most recent pictures in tidy and compact, yet professional –looking book! Ok, enough of that.  It’s time to get on shutterfly.com and make some great photo projects!
