Shutterfly Review and Giveaway!!!

I am terrible at scrapbooking and getting pictures printed and into the mail for people.  Which is why I absolutely love Shutterfly!  I was so happy to be given the opportunity to review them through Mom Bloggers Club.

I use Shutterfly for all my photo needs.  I have made a couple of photo books because it's so much easier than making a traditional scrapbook.  I also used Shutterfly for our Christmas cards last year.... look at how professional they look!  Isn't Abby just too cute?!?

They have tons of background options and you can also make personalized:

• Thank You cards
• Save the Dates
• Invitations
• Birth Announcements

My favorite part about Shutterfly has to be their Share Site.  It's so easy for me and other members of my family to upload photos.  We all live at least 2 hours apart so it's great that we can put all of our photos on one site.  Abby's grandparents love it because they are able to easily order prints of their favorite pictures!

Shutterfly is also reasonably priced and often sends coupon codes for free prints or free shipping.  They ship their products fast and their customer service team always resolves problems quickly.  If you haven't tried Shutterfly yet or you love them as much as I do, then enter to win 20 free 5x7 stationary cards!  The promotional code will expire 12/31/10 and does not include taxes and shipping.  There are only 2 rules:

1. You have to be a follower.
2. You have to leave a comment letting me know what you love about Shutterfly!

If you want to earn an extra entry, you can grab my button.  Don't forget to leave me a comment with the link!

I will randomly pick a winner on Monday, Sept. 13.  Good luck everyone!

* The opinions in the post are 100% mine.  Shutterfly did offer me free 5x7 stationary cards in return for writing this review.

Simple Jesstures Give Away!!!

I don't ever do give aways because I am just way too absent minded to get the give away to the winner.  I know it sounds crazy but I am a marathon procrastinator!  So, in fairness I just don't think give aways are a good idea for me.  I also have never promoted another give away here because... well, I have no real reason for that one.  But today I am breaking out of the mold and going to promote a give away being hosted by someone very special... my cousin!

For some time now I have been drooling over her pictures of the tasty creations she's posted on Facebook.  She makes some of the most amazing looking cupcakes and even though I live too far away for a sample, I can tell they are delish!  When she heard that my sisters and I were joining the 3-Day in honor of my mom she was inspired to come up with a way to spin her passion into a business in hopes of being able to donate to our team.

So, Simple Jesstures (cute name, right?) came to be.  She has found a way to combine her love of photography and baking and is sharing her recipes with all of us!  She's giving away a set of 6 Greeting Cards with the recipes included... how yummy do these look?!?

Check out her site, Simple Jesstures, for more info on her business and a recipe for a to die for (from the looks of it, I can't actually try it on my diet) lemon chiffon cake!
