The holiday decorations are up at Macy’s, it’s snowing, and the Shutterfly holdiay card promotion is here.
When you have family overseas, it’s never too early to start getting prepared for Christmas. As a matter of fact, I am already running behind. In light of the insane shipping costs these days, I opt for compact and lightweight gifts, and as a mom who thinks that her kid is just the most adorable thing in the world, I think that everyone should have a gift with Ben’s picture on it. Or maybe just the grandparents… Shutterfly has tons of great gift ideas to choose from. I am also thinking of choosing something small to send to Ben’s foster family.
I send a couple of Shutterfly photo books to my parents each year, and last year they received a calendar that they loved.
Last year we also ordered our Christmas cards through Shutterfly and we got many compliments on them. My only problem is that they have so many to choose from (y’all know that I don’t like to make decisions). I think I have narrowed it down to just a few though (after spending hours looking at the designs and playing around with some pictures I may use). Have you noticed that some of their sample pictures include adoptive families? I simply love seeing families like ours on those cards.
My current favorite is this one:
I have a picture of my cutie pie that will match the color scheme perfectly. Oh what has become of me….
Oh I like that card. May have to steal it but I first need a good pic of my son to start the process.
LOL, I love that we plan cards before Halloween….last year I think I had mine picked out in July….sigh
