Take Two: Too much awesomeness for only one post!

I am so so excited to be able to tell you (with confidence this time) about Shutterfly's awesome amazing deal for bloggers during the Christmas season.

One of my most very favorite parts of the holiday season is receiving Christmas cards in the mail. I should rephrase that, Christmas cards are nice, but I especially love the ones that have family pictures. I am the girl who puts them all up on my fridge and when the next year rolls around, I take down the previous years pictures and store them away in a Christmas tin I have. It's so fun to collect each family's cards each year and see how they have grown and changed!

This year, just for being a blogger, Shutterfly is offering a seemingly unbelievable deal to you! If you sign up, write a post about your experiences with Shutterfly in the past or why you are excited to use them this year, they will give you 50 FREE HOLIDAY CARDS! Just go here to initially sign up and they'll send you and email response explaining how to get your cards.

I have used Shutterfly so many times in the past and I have always had great experiences with them. Last year (the first year we did picture Christmas cards) I used Shutterfly and was so pleased with the quality and promptness of delivery. I've been going through all the new designs this year and it is oh so hard to decide which ones to chose. Would ya'll mind if I sent 7 different cards from the VP family? I've also used them for just plain old picture printing and l.o.v.e.d. it. They are always running deals for free shipping so I don't think I've ever paid for it and it saves me a trip out to a store. Delivery right to my door? Yes please! :)

Both last year and this year, I've made calenders for members of my family as Christmas gifts. With doting grandparents and great grandparents, it's a perfect, easy gift. They have templates already created that are super cute so you just plop your pictures in and waa-laa (How do you spell that?) perfect personalized gift! Sometime I'd really like to get a canvas printed. Maybe when baby boy is born? That's be an adorable addition to his nursery.

Anywhoo, if you're a blogger, what are you waiting for? Check this deal out.

Oh and seriously - send me a Christmas card. I'll message you our address if you need it. And if you want to get one from us this year, just let me know! :)


*note: I know this post is pretty much a repeat of my last one, but it's because I was struggling to figure this whole deal out. Everytime I would try to initially sign up, the website would say, "Something bad happened." haha So I was trying a few different things to get it to work and thought that maybe if I wrote the post first that it would help. But in reality, I think the website was just overloaded or something  because when I tried it the following day with a different email address, it worked perfectly. Then I got the email response telling me what to do and I realized that my post wasn't quite what it needed to be so.....here it is again! And I can now tell you with confidence that this DOES work and if you have the same trouble as I did, just keep trying!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

*First and foremost, so sorry for the previous blog post title "you know you're married to a MARRIED when..." haha that doesn't even make sense. I meant to write, you know you're married to a FARMER!"

Second, in case you haven't already heard, we are having a baby BOY! We are very excited to have a little boy in our family.


And one more announcement, also in case you haven't heard, just by being a blogger, you can get 50 FREE Holiday cards from Shutterfly just by going here. I have used Shutterfly countless times in the past, including our Christmas cards last year so I'm thrilled for this promotion. Shutterfly has amazing options for holiday cards, always has super fast service, and is overall a great company. I've made Photo Calenders previously (and are making one for my Grandmother this Christmas) and I LOVE them. They are so simple to make and are super great gifts. So.....go check this deal out!
