Shutterfly Christmas Cards!

December 3, 2010 By fitandfab Leave a Comment

Have you checked out Shutterfly’s selection of Christmas Cards? I’ve used Shutterfly many times in the past and have been very pleased with the quality and selection of their products!

It’s the time of year we all love to show off our cute kids with some great holiday cards. I’ve been browsing around the Shutterfly site planning out our Christmas cards for this year. Shutterfly has quite the selection of Christmas Photo cards, in fact over 800 cards to choose from! How can one select the perfect card? Well, Shutterfly has some great tools for narrowing down the perfect card; you can select the number of photos, color, size and more with their “refine your choices” tools box down the left side of their site! I narrowed my “favorites” to 117 but of those 117 Christmas photo cards I simply LOVE the “Family Wall in Red“.

I love the display of multiple photos and the elegance but story the card can tell with so many candid photos! My second favorite card would have to be the “Holly Jolly Christmas Card in Green.“ Again I love the multiple photos and the simple elegance but I am a HUGE fan of Green colors.

We’re a little slow on getting our”professional” family photos taken this year so I am more than happy with the fact that Shutterfly can make my ordinary candid photos, from a point-and-shoot, look professional! I am getting ready to make our photos right now, yes we’re slow this year!

Shutterfly also has a great selection of other Holiday cards, perhaps you want a folding Holiday or Christmas card? We’ll shutterfly has it! Shutterfly also offers wall calendars and invitations for graduation or birthday parites. I’ve personally made the wall calendars before and given them as gifts to grandparents. They were simple to make and a HUGE hit!

I’d highly recommend Shutterfly for all your holiday photos needs! If you’re interested in getting some Free Christmas cards go here!

Disclosure: I will receive a promo code upon my review of Shutterfly’s selection of photo cards. I am honest in my reviews and will only publish my truthful thoughts of any product.

Why I LOVE garage sales!

August 28, 2010 By fitandfab Leave a Comment

I took both the kids this morning and hit a dozen or so garage sales (or lawn sales and driveway sales as my daughter informed me they should rightfully be named, since none were actually in the garage). We made a H-A-U-L.

The weather in N. Texas has been HOT, I mean 105°+ until this past week were we were high 70°-80° for a few days and so begins the start of GOOD garage sale-ing!

We spent right around $20. We were on the look out for new bikes as both kids have grown by inches and bounds over the summer…no luck on bikes but we did score some other great deals! Over 23 clothing items; mostly for my daughter, all name brand…Justice, Children’s Place, Gap, Old Navy, Aeropostale, American Eagle, etc. I even scored two brand new GAP summer dresses for myself! We got a couple brand new leapfrog DVD’s for my 4 year old, plus some great learning flash cards and workbooks. My daughter got a few Judy Blume books and some new math-workbooks. They were both thrilled about the US puzzle in the cool carrying case and the wading pool (which is strange because thy are both too big for it, but it was FREE so we’ll enjoy it until they’re bored and then pass it along)! Missing from the photos are two suvvy puppies my son latched onto and a bag of “magic rocks” my daughter was excited about!

When I garage sale I am careful not to come home with junk. I inspect all clothing for holes, tears and stains. I try not to get emotionally attached to anything just because it’s “a good deal” and I only buy things I know we will be able to utilize and sell or pass on later! Hope you have as much fun finding garage sale deals as we do!

July 12, 2010 By fitandfab 1 Comment

Famous Footwear had some issues, “hackers” they said, with the $10 off $10 coupon code they offered yesterday. They have initiated a NEW offer, still $10 off $10, for online purchases if you become a fan! Detailed instructions are listed under their “exclusive offer” tab. Basically all you need to do is send an email to the address given and they will send you a one-time use code…sounds like people were abusing the coupon offer previously. I sent my email and am excited to see what we can get…these kidlets of mine have feet that just don’t stop growing! The coupon codes will be sent 7/14 and expires 7/15 so be on the watch, shipping will be FREE!
