I just turned my air conditioner back on.  It's 81 degrees in my house.  It is also November 3rd.  I love Florida.


While we may not get the cold, leaves changing, change of wardrobe, snow, and the rest of the blahbitty blab blah that most of the country gets we still love to pretend it's the holiday season... and in our flip flops no less!  And Christmas means... Christmas cards!!  Since I use Shutterfly for all of my photobook gifts I thought I would give their photo cards a try, too.  What's the sense in sending a Christmas card if it doesn't have any photos on it is what I want to know.  Turns out they have some ADORABLE designs.  Here are a few of my favorites:


I like this one because it's mostly the picture with some bright colors.  I like bright colors.



This one is super cute because it has just that little touch of Christmas without smacking you over the head with cheer.



I like this one for the three different photo boxes.  I could put one picture of each of the boys on the outside and one of the family in the middle. 



You know, even though I LOVE making photobooks I really think I'd love to try a photo calendar as well.  My friend has one and every time I'm over her house I find myself flipping through the months and just fawning over last year's pictures.  It helps keep in perspective how fast our little people are growing. 

Here's the link for the photobook I made for Mimi and Poppy last year.  Notice how May-May is now Mimi.  I wonder if that will change again?  Photobooks are great because you can make one master book and then add/delete photos to personalize it for each recipient.  I made 6 different photobooks last year!   I think there's going to be a demand for even more this year...  better get started now.
