So, some of you are lucky enough to see what happens to all of the pictures that I take each year....but some of you probably wonder what I do with them besides share them with you on this blog. I love sharing those moments here, but at the end of each year I am always trying to find ways to be creative with our pictures and ways to share them in new and unique ways with our close family and friends and those special people like my Grandma who I am not anticipating joining the world wide web revolution any time soon. :)
I take (literally) thousands of pictures each year. Carver's first year I took over 2000 pictures...and my addiction to capturing our families memories has only gotten worse as we have expanded our family and continued to grow.
Shutterfly has been one tool that I have continued to come back to year after year to help me be creative and share our most precious memories. Each year we make a calendar, like these http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars , so that we can relive those moments over and over. Unfortunately, our calendar designs from the past 2 years have been discontinued, so I am not able to share them with you here, but I will share another project that we love! For the past couple of years we have made photo books for the boys to enjoy memories of special trips or of their adventures from throughout the year. Here is one we made for Carver after our trip to Disneyland in the fall of 2008:
This is something that he still loves to look at frequently.
Another project that we love is Shutterfly's personalized mugs http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-gifts/photo-mugs . They are great for the grandmas and grandpas and Great Grandma Edna even took hers to show off to all of her friends at church. :)
The project I am working on now is getting Christmas cards ready to send out to many of you. I love Christmas time and I love sending great Christmas cards to those we love. Shutterfly has some awesome cards to choose from, like these http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards .
So, now you know what I do with all of those pictures. Keep your eye on your mailbox for our Christmas card, coming your way soon. And hey, you never know, maybe you'll be the lucky recipient of another unique and creative gift that I will have so much fun making, with the help of Shutterfly! :)
