Shutterfly - What To Do With Your Photos

I am one of those people that LOVE to take pictures – and lots of them, especially of my family. Back in the day when there weren’t digital cameras, I had boxes and albums filled with photographs. However, now that I don’t have to necessarily develop (or print) the pictures out, I find that most of them stay on my computer without properly being showcased. One of the things I’d like to do this upcoming year is to actually get the pictures off my camera, onto my computer, and then make something special with some of those photos so I can remember why I wanted to take those photos in the first place.

A great place I’ve found to do that is Shutterfly. Shutterfly offers an array of products for me to choose from, including printing out the pictures, making calendars, making photo gifts, and home décor. It also allows me to create some unique and special gifts from my photos. My favorite ones include:

Shutterfly's personalized Christmas cards.  You can use one, two, more (or no) pictures to create a custom Christmas card.  This is just one example (what a way to use a variety of photos):

I also like being able to make personalized and unique gifts from my photos, such as this photo mug.  I think my husband would love being able to see the kids every day while he's drinking his coffee at his desk at work.

Another one of my favorite things are their "Thank You" cards - the best part is that some of these don't even need a photo and you can have them handy for those occasions when you need one:

So hopefully my New Year's resolution of actually doing something with my photos won't be such a daunting task with all of the options I have available through Shutterfly!
