SnapFish!!!!

I am in love with snapfish, I just cant say it enough.. By the time I take my photos, and upload them to snapfish, pay a small amount, nothing compared to Target, or even costco.. and put my order thru, I have my photos back in my hand and ready to scrapbook. They have some wonderful projects as well, and I am getting ready to start my Christmas gift list and some of them will be through Snapfish.

On average before snapfish I paid .30 cents for a photo, usually because I didnt want to have to make two trips to the store, one to put in my order and two, to pick them up. Usually I would pay the extra money and do instant photos.

Now with snapfish, holy cow, I just load them up, select the ones I want printed, pay, poof, within like 4 days I have my photos. And they are delivered to my mailbox. We are a one car family, so this is totally convenient for us.

Thank you snapfish, I know there are other competitors out there, but none with the prices like snapfish, but more importantly, the extra projects. Thank you!!!

Its That Time Again... Holiday Cards

It is almost that time of the year, where my sole focus is on my cards for the holidays.. I have had a set schedule for years, and it has worked well for me. But this year I have to fudge the timing a bit.

In a couple of weeks I will start making my Halloween Cards so that I can mail them on October 13th, my grandma's birthday coincidentally. Then, Halloween night while the trick or treaters are out and about, I would be passing out candy, and starting on Christmas cards. I usually make about a 100 cards.

This year, I may have to fudge the timing. For the first time ever I will be sharing Halloween with a family. My family. I have a young son who will be almost 16 months on Halloween and I will be doing activities with him, but after he goes to bed, I will start on my Christmas Cards. Around Thanksgiving I start sketching out what I want my cards to look like, but for the most part, I have already bought the paper.

Since adding a spouse and a child to my life, I have also added so many new people, who will all be getting a card from us.

Google Reader

The more I have been working online, and using blogspot, blogger.com or Google. I have seen so many new things. Google Reader is wonderful, especially if you follow a lot of blogs, like I do. You can quickly skim thru your blogs, read the ones that you really want to. Or mark as read for others.. save them, delete them, instead of having to go to every single blog.

Invitations..

I have been making invitations all day today, and will continue til I get at least 40 of them done.. they are all different, all unique, and well, I wont be doing it this way again. Haha but its been so much fun, especially when I get to mail them to the four corners of the USA for a huge party for my MIL. Very excited about seeing anyone and everyone!!! I hope that they can all make it..
