Memories...

If you know much about me, you know that I'm a picture person. You should see some of the pictures I dug through when I was moving! Pictures truly do bring back memories! The twelfth thing that I'm thankful for is the fact that we're able to hold on tightly to our memories. During this time of year, it's nice to think...

And so, I have to mention my FAVORITE way to keep memories around. Again, if you know much about me, chances are you've either looked at or received one of my many, many Shutterfly books. I LOVE Shutterfly. I haven't checked out any of the other book-making sites, but I've heard that Snapfish is fantastic as well.

Shutterfly allows you to upload your photos to your computer (I hardly ever print pictures out anymore unless I'm planning on framing them!) and "scrapbook" them. It's super easy to do, takes virtually no time at all if you're not incredibly obsessive about it like I am, and they ship your stuff FAST! I ordered a book for Eddie, Mr. Tommy and Mrs. Bobby, and Sonny last year for Christmas and they were all here within a week of me placing my order! At our wedding we gave our parents books of our engagement. Again, quick turnaround!

What's great about Shutterfly, aside from it being so user-friendly, is that you can make ANYTHING on their site. In addition to books, I've also made cards and a poster. This time of year you can make photo cards for Christmas, calendars, mugs, ornaments, etc. Mary Beth's future in-laws even put all of their engagement photos on a DVD and gave it to Mrs. Lynn and Mr. George so they'd have their memories of that special day!

Check out their website at www.shutterfly.com if you're interested! I can't wait to have time to make some in the future! Maybe over Christmas break...
