So Many Photos, So Little Patience

I'm a scrapbooker, but I have become addicted to shutterfly.com. You upload photo's to the site and make books. It will make one for you (not so great) or you can do each page your self... you pick the background and how many pic's on each page and you can put in text. Then you can get books printed of all sizes and prices. You can go hardback or soft but either way the pages are like real books. I send a book every 3 months to my in-laws back east of my son (8 months old). It cost me about $15.00 and they go insane over them. They think that I am amazing for making these awesome books (if they only got how easy it was) and they really like them cause they don't end up with loose pictures that they have to buy albums for and they get a story of what the pictures are about. I actually started making myself a hard bound version so I can give them to my son one day along with the scrapbooks. But when people come over and see them on my coffee table they are really amazed. I'm in the process of uploading all my parents old photos from generations past and I'm going to make an heirloom book for all of us in the family. Then everyone gets the same thing and there is no issue of they got more than me or whatever. And the pictures are on paper that is never going to fade or get ruined so they will last for ever and best yet each picture has the history of it right on the page so no one ever says who are these old photos of. So Shutterfly.com the best thing ever. I even believe it's part of the parenting privliges program as well.

Thank you for this article! My husband and I were trying to find a unique baby shower gift for our friend and came across this page. It turns out the board book album is a nice little gift that would have taken a lot longer to make if we tried to convert a thick book into a photo album. Now someone just needs to have www.boardbookalbums.com create a black board book so we can put our wedding photos in them and leave it on our coffee table! Great ideas! Thanks Sarah! You're a lifesaver!
