I make a photo book for the Grandparents every Christmas.

I have used snapfish, shutterfly, and the last two years my publisher.

I really like my publishers quality and the deals they run but I am not a big fan of the software.

We do not use windows or mac so software is a bit more of a hassle for us.

I would rather make them online so I am trying out another company this year.

Mixbook, they get high ratings so we will see how they turn out.

I buy 4 books every year so I really want a good deal!

I do not put only pictures in the books.

I add funny quotes from the boys as well.

I got the idea after seeing this book.

I would like to say I am really organized and write all of their cute sayings down throughout the year.

That would be a lie though…

I put them up on facebook throughout the year and then I scroll through and grab my favorites.

This year I added a couple I did not share on Facebook to a journal on my phone.

I would like to do that to all of them but am afraid I will miss the hours spent scrolling through all those facebook posts.

Ha!

I am just not that organized.

At the beginning of the new year I make a family book.

It is pretty easy since I am just adding some extra photos to the books I have already made.

I really like that these books take something I enjoy and make it a personalized gift!

I never have any stress about what I am getting grandparents either!

Surprise!

You are getting another photo book.

They can’t say they don’t like it because it is pictures of their grandchildren.

“What! You don’t love your grandchildren?”

See, sounds bad.
