Free Christmas Cards? Um, yes please!!

So when two "bloggy" friends of mine told me they got free Christmas cards, I immediately wanted to know how.  Turns out Shutterfly is giving away 50 free cards to bloggers!  There's a couple reasons why this is so amazing.  First of all, we've used Shutterfly for several years now, and they have consistently provided us with quality prints at a great price.  When my son was a newborn I had pictures made of him, and with approximately a bajillion family members to give prints to, this could have been a budget buster.  But, we ordered them all from Shutterfly and were still able to afford diapers.  Second, as anyone with a child knows, the best gifts for grandparents are often pictures of their grandkids.  But, as someone with aging grandparents knows, they often get misplaced or lost.  So, the next best thing is a photo calender, which we have made every year since our child's birth.  They get the pictures they want, and often hold onto the calenders for years.  And lastly, the cards that Shutterfly offers have hands down, better quality and selection than any other low cost printer.  My personal favorite for this year is this one.  The quote, the monogram, the numerous photo spots...I'm in LOVE.  If I was more modern though, this lovely would be my pick.  It's simple, elegant, and perfect for showing off the most adorable picture of your child.  There's so many beautiful cards to choose from, you should go check them out for yourself!  I'm sure you'll find a few (too many) that you love.  And if you're a blogger, you can get them for FREE!!  Talk about an early Christmas present!
