Those of you who read this blog regularly may have noticed (because I've told you) that I am not so good with holiday deadlines. One year we even made Easter eggs
after Easter, and I never do the activites I say I'm going to do. So, it's a good thing that
Shutterfly has a Holiday Card promotion for bloggers (and a giveaway at the end of this post...) that I can't pass up, because their imposed deadline kicks me into gear.
Although they have been known to arrive after the holidays, every year I send out holiday cards. I'm the family genealogist and it's important to me that I keep in touch with all my distant and not-so-distant relatives. We are an interfaith household, so I usually choose a neutral design. Some of Shutterfly's simpler
Christmas cards or
holiday cards fit the bill, like this one:
but often I've chosen a
New Year's Card instead (you know, for when they arrive
after Christmas). I'm loving the color scheme on this one:
I've also gotten into the habit of sending
photo books as presents. I'm guessing a lot of people do this. I have made this a tradition for grandparents because, really, who wants another pair of slippers when you can have a
photo book of my adorable children? Right?
Shutterfly is graciously giving me 50 free cards (no other compensation) AND has given me codes for 25 free cards which I am can give away to THREE lucky readers of this blog. So here's the deal:
This is a quick giveaway so hurry up!
1. First visit Shutterfly, then return here to leave a comment telling me the name of at least one holiday card you think you might choose for this year's holiday card.
2. Leave your comment by 11:59 PM EST OCTOBER 25 (that's tomorrow, people!)
3. PLEASE, make sure your comment either includes an email or is linked to a blog or email so I can verify who you are. Obviously I cannot do that with Anonymous entries so they will not be considered.
4. I will choose three winners using random.org and the winners must be in touch with me within 72 hours of their announcement.
Good luck!
I always send my cards for the Jewish New Year, so I'm not entering, just commenting. It's surprisingly hard to find photo cards for Rosh Hashanah but I have found some, but not on the big photo websites. But I agree - why is it so hard to get them out in time?!?
ReplyDeleteThere are SO many choices! I didn't think I could narrow it down, but I think I'm kind of in love with Star Party- (especially since it only has three slots for photos, which is perfect for showing off each of the 3 boys and leaving the husband and I off the card).
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of terrible at getting them out on time too. Not so much for fam that lives further away, but the ones that sre in town. They tend to get theirs whenever we see them during the holidays.

the hardest part for me is not picking the card, or even mailing them...it is getting the picture!! %&*#@!!!!
ReplyDeleteI went to Shutterfly and I liked them all. I suppose my favorites are the ones that say Merry Christmas. I suppose I'm old fashioned that way.
fingers crossed that I win. Wanna fly south and be our photographer? :)
