Photo Projects!

Here's a fun project for a grandparent or relative!

I'm pretty safe in putting this here because my grandma who is 93 years old, doesn't get on my blog much, lol! My grandma is hard to shop for because she doesn't need anything! So for Christmas the past three years, I've made her a photo calendar to hang on her wall. I use Shutterfly to make it and they allow you to drop pictures or text on any of the date squares. I add in the family birthdays and anniversaries. Then, I choose at least one date a month to add what the kids and I will do for her that day. ("Bring Valentine candy to G.G." or "We'll come show you our Halloween costumes", etc.) The finished product is always really nice and it gives your recipient something to look forward to all year long! Just a note, don't forget to write off the dates on your own calendar so you don't forget!!

Shutterfly also does awesome Christmas cards, everyday cards and invitations, so be sure to check them out. My favorite cards to receive every year are ones with pictures on them because I love keeping up with our friends and family members that way!

Shutterfly is giving away 50 cards to anyone who blogs about using them. http://bit.ly/sfly2010 I'm happy to blog about them because of all the "photo project sites" they are my favorite and I use them every year to make scrapbooks, cards, calendars, and more.
