shutterfly!

In the past I have either made Christmas cards or bought them. Making them takes so much time and finding nice ones to buy is just hard and expensive! I love the idea of photo cards! It's great how you can add your photo(s) and personalize them with a holiday greeting. The beauty is that you can just stick them in their envelope and mail them out. It doesn't get much easier than that!

Shutterfly is an awesome site where you can create just about anything with you photos! They use high-quality paper when they print out your photos and you can get them delivered right to your door! If you want to jazz up your photos, they have tools to help you edit them , or you can play around using one of their 400+ borders on your pictures. Such an awesome place to make up Christmas photo cards, Holiday invitations, Holiday photo cards, address labels, and personalized mugs! You can also order a calendar for the new year!!


The only problem is deciding on which design to choose! I am trying to decide between these folded card designs for my family's Christmas card this year:

• At Shutterfly you can even have them stamp and mail the cards for you at an addional charge. Talk about EASY!
• Until December 1st, you can recieve free shipping for US orders over $25 by using the code SHIP25. They are also offering 30% off all cards until December 1st.
• Go on and check them out. You'll be happy that you did! :)

Paci-Catchers: review & GIVEAWAY!

I'm excited to tell you about a product that I absolutely LOVE! Last month I entered a Paci-Catchers giveaway at Crafty Mommy Diva and was so thrilled that I won a pair of Paci-Catchers from ChrystalBlu!!

Early this week I got them in the mail! I was completely impressed with the professional packaging and the quality product!

The timing of my Paci-Catchers' arrival was perfect. My daughter had a couple of rough days this week because she has some teeth coming up. Here she is with her pink/ brown stars one:

And another day with her ballerina slippers one:

They are multi-functional!! You can use them together to turn any cloth into a bib for meal time......

.......or use one as a toy tether. It stinks when a kid drops their toy while out shopping. I hate things falling on the floor, especially because at this stage, everything goes in the baby's mouth! Here's a great solution for that!

My daughter doesn't love being covered while she eats and loves trying to kick off blankets of nursing covers. I love that you can use a couple together as a strap so you can easily turn any blanket into a nursing cover!

More great things about Paci-Catchers:

• until October 31st, you can enter the code CandyCorn and receive an addional 15% off your order! Why not get some for the new mom or expectant mother on your list this Christmas?!
• they would make the perfect baby shower gift for a new mother.
• there are dozens of CUTE designs to choose from.
• FREE shipping!!
• the only thing downside I could come up with is that they don't work for Mam soothers, which are what my daughter prefers, BUT then I saw on the website that you can get adapters. I need to get some of those! :) The adapters allow you to use them for any type of pacifier!!
