Shutterfly Christmas Card Mania!!

Now that Isaac and I have a baby, I think it would be fun to do a family Christmas card. I have never done one before, so I am looking forward to this fun project! I took some adorable pictures of Eli in a Santa hat that would be perfect! I looked at some different sites to see which have the best Christmas card designs and I found some really cute ones at Shutterfly's website. Two of my favorite designs are "Snow flurries Cocoa" and "Peppermint Peace". I like that I can add multiple photos to these two designs. I am going to put a picture of all of us that was taken at Thanksgiving and then put two pictures of just Eli in his santa hat as well. I think that my family and friends will love it!

I would love to order one of Shutterfly's photo calendars. It would be so cute to have a new Eli picture for every month of the year! This would also make for a great gift for the grandparents!

Finally, I think that their photo mugs are a great idea! I would love to receive one of these as a gift! I mean, who doesn't drink coffee or cocoa for that matter?

Thanks for tuning in for my promotional blog for Shutterfly's 50 holiday card giveaway. Check them out at http://bit.ly/sfly2010 and get yours too!!

This is my first time ever to blog! To be honest I am blogging in order to get free Christmas cards from Shutterfly, but this is a good opportunity to share a little bit about my family.


My name is Michelle and I am married to a wonderful man named Isaac. We have been married for 4 years and live near Nashville, Tn. We have a 4 month old son named Eli Harrison, who is such a blessing. I was very sick when I first got pregnant with him and was not sure that he would make it, but God is good and we have a happy, healthy baby boy! Parenthood has been challanging but it is the best job that I could ever have and I am loving every minute of it!


Isaac and I have been saved by the grace of God through Christ dying on the cross for our sins. I was saved at the age of 15 while Isaac was saved a year after I met him, about 4 1/2 years ago. It was amazing to get to watch the transfomation that God made in Isaac's life. There has been a lot of santification that has happened since then and Isaac and I have grown so much. We are a part of a wonderful church family, Community Bible Church. It is there that we are fed with God's word and are able to serve alongside other believers. It is such a blessing to have found a church home.


Isaac and I are originally from Northwest Arkansas and most of our family still lives there. It is hard to be away from our family (especially now that we have a baby), but we love Nashville and can't imagine living anywhere else right now. Ofcourse, we wouldn't mind at all if some our family moved here :)!


Well, that is just a little bit about us, stay tuned and I may add more to the story!
