Yes, it's that time again!

You know what I love about my Painted Peggies? They are timeless. They can be modern while also being classic and traditional. Sorta like the great new prints over at Shutterfly! The 2010 Holiday Collection is beautiful. I'm going to have such a hard time choosing a design.

I decided YEARS ago that dragging my less-than-willing littles out to the Department Store Portrait Studio wasn't fun. It wasn't joyful. It was something closer to torture; the long wait, the hot little camera room; the cranky photo subjects...so I started taking our own Christmas photo to add to our cards. And now that I can send my photo to Shutterfly and have them print the cards for me, it is even easier. I can do it on MY time, when the kids (and me) are in a good mood...and we can have as many 'do overs' as we need! I even enjoy the outtakes...sometimes more than the real photos!



I love how easy it is to incorporate my finished photo into the Shutterfly designs. I can pick one that's nostalgic, whimsical, or reverent. The variety is beautiful and mind-blowing! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards
Whichever I choose, though, I am guaranteed a beautiful card and experience from start to finish. I always get tons of compliments, especially from those loved ones far away that don't get to see the kids very often.

PS: they also have GREAT photo gifts, so check those out, too...wouldn't Grandma LOVE a photo mug of her favorite grandkids while sipping her morning coffee?
