And the 2011 Christmas Card Begins

by

My jaw just about dropped yesterday when I read a tweet saying there are only 66 days until Christmas.  65 today.  And the days will just go by faster.  How?  How are we near the Christmas season in 2011? 

This is the time of year I start thinking about Christmas cards and my yearly photo gifts and I start kicking myself in the rear end for not taking more pictures during the year.  As the girls have gotten older, I’ve found that I’ve had less reasons to “grab the camera quick”!  Yes, they are learning new things all the time but usually it’s happening up in that little brain of theirs instead of an outward manifestation like crawling or walking.  Or, you know, smearing spaghetti all over their tray.  In any case it IS time to start thinking about those cards and gifts. 

Last year I super-duper LOVED my Shutterfly Christmas card.

The pictures meant a lot but I love the layout allowed me to share so many from that photo shoot.  I’m ecstatic to say this year I’ll be using Shutterfly for our cards again thanks to a fabulous blogging program.  If you have a blog, make sure to check out the end of the post! 

It looks like they have some great holiday cards this year.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Clearly I’m a sucker for cute little happy girls.  Hm, wonder why?
