Shutterfly Holiday Cards

It's time to get started on the Christmas cards. I usually don't try to take time to do it, but this year I decided to photo cards. We had some really awesome pictures made when we were in St. Lucia and Shutterfly has the cutest cards. Plus, just for blogging about it I get 50 free cards. If you blog, you can too. You can learn more about it by going to http://bit.ly/sfly2010.

I have used Shutterfly in the past, but I had no idea they had such great gift ideas. You can do a calendar http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/wall-calendars and they have canvas wall art http://www.shutterfly.com/home-decor/canvas-wall-art?c=10196&p=2864.

So, I think I have narrowed my choice for our Christmas card this year down to this one http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/cards-stationery/holiday-love-sketch-christmas-5x7-folded-card?sortType=1&storeNode=93476  or this one http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/cards-stationery/cranberry-joy-christmas-card-5x7-flat.

Time to start deciding and get busy creating.

Benefits of Blogging

Sometimes it pays to blog. Even if you know that no one reads it.

I love photography and I love pictures.  I love taking pictures, editing photos and looking at photos.  Shutterfly is one of my favorite companies to use for bringing my pictures to life.

Check out Shutterfly. You might be suprised at what you find and the goodies that come your way.

Pictures and Facebook - My Soapbox for Today

No one reads my blog and I am okay with that.

I am very annoyed with the ingnorance of people who put pictures on Facebook expecting them to be safe.

People, if you put a picture on Facebook anyone that is your friend has access to it. They can take it and save it to their computer, they can share with their friends, and now they can edit it with a photo editing program on the internet.

If you want to keep your pictures "safe" don't post them on Facebook. Educate yourself on the safety aspects of Facebook. You can limit who sees your pictures and has access to them.

Facebook is a public place. Anything you post can be shared. Don't be shocked if your pictures end up some place that you don't want them to be.

Thank you for reading. I feel better now.
