A belated shout-out to a company with a sense of humor

Last January I posted about sales pitches that miss the target.  I was poking a little mild fun at Shutterfly's auto sales email, which encouraged me to preserve my precious photo memories by putting them into a book--but since the photos in question were of a flock of buzzards dining on some carrion . . .well, it was funny.

I was a little anxious when, some time later, I received an email from Shutterfly about the post.  Okay, the idea of a buzzard memory book was funny, but don't get me wrong--I love Shutterfly.  For quite a few years, I've been using them to make an annual calendar with a baker's dozen of my best photos from the year.  And this Christmas I did my second annual "brag book" with them--a book of my best photos of the family, as a special present for my mom. I don't want Shutterfly mad at me!

And to my relief, they weren't.  The Shutterfly rep said "Thanks for mentioning Shutterfly on your blog, even in a satiric nature. All press is good press, right?"  He asked if I could possibly link to their page about making photo books. 

And life got crazy, and I never got around to it.  But since I was mailing out a couple of this year's calendars, I remembered that email.  And I figured better late than never. 

So, if you want to know who does my calendars and my photo books--Shutterfly. Who might not love having me make fun of them, but can still say "Thanks again for the funny post."

I imagine your Mother treasures those calendars. I have kept the ones my daughter gave to me.

And that reminds me that someone in the family absconded with MY copy of this year's brag book. Must order replacement.
