*shutter*

Question: What goes, "snap, crackle, and pop"? 

Answer: A firefly with a short circuit!! :-) 

Did that make you want to say, "Rice Krispies?" 

SNAP..... that exhilarating moment when your finger hits the big silver button on your camera. When you capture and never live without remembering that moment, because in that moment.... you felt...

                                                  good.....


(that feeling of buying your FIRST home!)

the pizza you work so hard on, but then burnt it black as charcoal when you get caught up talking to your new found neighbors in your new home....


CRACKLE..... looking at your friend and loved one and just cracking up...... because someone smushed your face... capturing that uncontrollable laughing moment is....

                              priceless....... seriously.... funny... :-) 


POP.... not literally... like your addiction to caffeine... but you want the color to pop out...

maybe on your honeymoon...

or in the fall....


perhaps, in April when your first tulips come up... :-)



whatever the case may be using your shutter of your camera 365 days of the year is always going to create memories...


I was introduced to Shutterfly by a book party at one of my co-workers house, she won a party for her guests to all get free books and it was so fun and I got a free book and bag!!! I made our engagement book! 

You can use Shutterfly for cards, stationary, calendars, and large prints, even on a canvas.... it's so easy and you get 50 free prints the first time you start... they are always giving discounts... and you can send all of your pictures to Target to pick them up, or they will be sent to your house within a couple days....

I have loved Shutterfly for a long time and this Christmas we are going to use them to do our Christmas cards, and one of my college roommates used Shutterfly for their Thank you cards and they were beautiful!!! 

Don't you love that feeling of running to the mailbox in December to see the Christmas cards and pictures and letters from your family??? To me it's this tradition that I do every year. We are now getting ones at our home, but every year I would get to my mom and dad's I would immediately ask mom where she kept the Christmas letters (because my mom knows me) I love to read them all! :-) 

So as the years fly by..... embrace your family and loved ones and let that camera capture the beauty that lies within your heart and share it with those you love... 



and one day.... we will be lucky enough.... to be like our grandparents... still loving one another's company.... loving their children and grandchildren with so much evidence than the simple hug you get when they see you, or the cards you get that say we love you and are proud of you... 

Then, we can share our own stories of our time with our own children and grandchildren... and won't that be great! ;-) 


So without further a-due... check out shutterfly and all it has to offer...

Here are some examples... and make them your own to tell your own story of the year and your own beautiful life. (just click on the text to take you to the examples.)

(This years choices, colors selections are so cute!!)

I'm feeling MUCH better!!!! ;-)
