I know I'm a bit late to post on this- but better late than never!
I love photos but hate sorting through them all. I try to send out photos to the family and facebook regularly but already haven't developed any for albums since Christmas. My biggest problem is choosing which pictures not to keep. How can I not keep a picture of my baby- especially when he's getting so big so quickly. So I asked (ok begged) Mr. R to create a photo book of Aidan's first year for Mother's Day.
I knew I could never condense it enough for a small group and hated the labor intensive idea of having to label and go through each picture. I did look through the sites and found shutterfly to be the most user friendly, had the most options for layout and nicest backgrounds. Mr. R didn't know what he was in for. He said it took quite a LONG time- but it was really worth it. He decided he wanted me to view it online so I could make any edits or additions. He knows me and my control freak issues so well! In typical Mr. R style, the book had to be ordered by 7 p.m. for delivery for Mother's Day and Mr. R shows it to me at 6 p.m. (though probably for the best w/my current pregnant indecisive state of mind). The book was beautiful- he really did an amazing job. We ordered one for my mom and my MIL- they loved it as well. I highly recommend getting your husband to make you one for your next b-day, holiday, etc. or create one yourself as a gift!
That's beautiful! Can you edit the post and add the link of where you bought it?
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I edit the post- I tried and it didn't work- only could delete it??? It was bought at www.shutterfly.com
ReplyDeleteThey are 25% off right now w/free shipping- even better deal for father's day. With all of the extra pages we ordered and leather bound- it cost about $70. We just ordered an extra one so I can give it to Aidan when he's older.
