I have visions of creating gorgeous albums, every year, for my children to pour over when they are older.  I imagine well-planned books filled with pages of our memories.  I can’t tell you how much I value printing your pictures. Having tangible images either in book form, or hanging on your walls is so important.  Guess how many books I have printed.  Go on, I’ll wait. Did you take a guess?  The answer is 2.  In the twelve years since we became parents, I have managed to make TWO  photo albums.  Now guess why.  I have no time. Making albums can be time consuming, and sometimes, the thought of the task at hand, is enough for me to the brakes on that idea.

quick and easy photo album

I have found the solution to my problem (it’s also the reason I now have 2 albums as opposed to the one I previously had!)–  Shutterfly’s Make my Book service!!  Within a matter of 10 minutes, I had a complete album set up and sent to Shutterfly.  I added pictures, and set some simple preferences like my basic style preference, the title of the book, and how many embellishments I like, and sent that right on over to Shutterfly’s Make my Book  Boom!  That was it!  They put the book together, chose the embellishments, wrote some little quotes on a couple of pages, and sent me a draft.  So, yeah, I was totally impressed with how easy the service was. Especially since I was able to make adjustments to it once Shutterfly’s Make my Book service sent the draft to me.  I added a few personal touches to it, and hit the accept button.

Then, I got the book.  Let me tell you, it’s beautiful!  Gorgeous, lay-flat pages, a beautiful customized, hard-cover, and professional quality pages.  I can hardly believe this album was so easy to make.  This is the go-to service for busy moms like myself.  I love the size of the book, and how well-made it is.  The kids (and I) have already shared it with their friends.  There really isn’t anything more fun that looking through albums.  I remember spending hours at my grandmother’s looking through magnetic photo albums filled with faded pictures of her children and grandchildren.  I love the fact that my children will have something other than social media albums to look through with their children one day.

If you have been putting off printing your family’s albums, you absolutely have to check this out.  I couldn’t be happier with ours.  Maybe now I can finally get caught up!!

Are you up to date with your family’s photo albums?  Or are you as far behind as we are?
