Giveaways

Yay! Time to announce the winners of the Shutterfly giveaway! Sorry for the delay but I usually don’t get on the Internet until after work.

Thanks to all SIX of you that entered – just means the odds were in your favor. I loved reading what your favorite part of the holidays are.

Enter Shutterfly. Y’all know them, right? They are an awesome personal publishing service that pretty much lets you do AMAZING things with all of those photos cluttering up your hard drive.

I have been using Shutterfly exclusively for years – I print my photos from there, small personal ones for frames, large ones for display. I’ve gotten anything from 4×6″ all the way up to 20×30″ and they’ve come out beautifully everytime (I especially love the ability to print with a matte finish – I am no glossy photo girl).
