This is just a quick snippet that I thought some of you might be able to benefit from, especially those on a bit of a budget this holiday season (I mean, who isn’t).

Originally I was going to make my holiday cards this year. I thought that a handmade postcard might be kind of cute to get in the mail and, if done properly, might be cute on a holiday display of some sort. Then I remembered that I’m a writer who went to art school and I remember learning very quickly that I have no knack for paper crafting.

Shutterfly.com to the rescue! I saw a post on Facebook from one of my friends that Shutterfly would give 50 free holiday photo cards to bloggers who would blog about this crazy-awesome deal. Now if you were able to plan ahead properly and already had your holiday cards, Shutterfly also has photo mugs or calendars.

Alright, that’s it for me. Blog and be merry!
