Pictures, Pictures Everywhere!

You know what I love doing?

Looking at pictures of myself.

Before you think I am that into myself, I am talking about baby pictures.  I love that I  have my old albums and can compare picture of me, and my sister, to my son.  My husband's family doesn't seem to have as many, and they did give me a small album with pictures of him, but there are gaps, and I feel some times as if part of the story is missing.

James is on his 3rd photo album.  The pictures start with all his ultrasound photos, and there are a LOT thanks to the weekly appointments we were having.  They are right up until his first time in the pool a few weeks ago.  This weekend, we'll be spending time with family, and I'll keep right on clicking away.

Where is this headed?

My choice for photo printing, both individual pictures and photo albums and even large prints and magnets, is Shutterfly.  I love getting that orange envelope in the mail, and going through them.  Looking at the picture on the computer is one thing, but holding them in my hands is just the greatest thing.

This Summer, Shutterfly is having their Long Live Summer Photo Contest.  Each week, they will have a different theme, and all you have to do to enter is upload a picture and caption.  There are instant win prizes just for entering (1 entry per week per contestant), a weekly winner each of the 5 weeks with a $500 Shutterfly gift card up for grabs, and the grand prize includes an amazing trip that includes a professional photo shoot so you'll have those memories forever.

I will be entering!

The contest started July 9th and runs through August 12th.  Check out the details and themes on their Facebook page and then start sharing your pictures and memories!

This is a promotional post sponsored by Shutterfly.  I do use their services for all my photo needs, love their coupons and discounts, and will continue to use them even if they didn't contact me for this.  It just doesn't hurt that I will be getting compensated for sharing my love of their service!
