Here are just a few pictures we had in our photo books last year.
I recently have made their photo books this year from our Disney trip and then one from Nate's birth to early this year for my dad. These books are just awesome! My dad and whole family love them and so do I. Here are just a few of the pictures I added to my Shutterfly Album! Some made it to our books - others didn't - but you can see from our baby showers to some early times with Nate. ALSO - look up at another entry and I have finally found out how to share the projects - I have the recent Santa 2010 picture AND our big Photobook - you GOTTA check that one out.
Craig and I are the Wilcox Family Baby Shower
One of my favorite - Kisses Nate - created for his Nonnie (Craig's mom) for valentines day
A picture my friend Kathy made - too cute
Baby shower from Lisa (in middle) - it was the only one my mom could make - look how proud she was
Nate
Nate and Nate - Xmas 2004
Papa and Nate - apple orchard 2004
The programs I can use are really easy and allowed me to make things custom- using different formats and backgrounds - its just really cool. One really key thing is many people use the custom books to make a little book of pictures to leave with their child either before they get there or at their first trip - this way it helps the child get to know their family, house, our cats - you name it. I think that will ban awesome first gift for our future little one.
Hopefully this week I'm gonna load more pics from this summer and fall and make our 2010 Christmas cards. http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards
then when we get our little one home from Ethiopia I plan on sending out adoption announcements for our newest family member. http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birth-announcements
these will be awesome - I will get to make something special for our new little one.
the calendars are cool too - I"m hoping I find time to make one for our family this year as a stocking stuffer. http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/wall-calendars - and I was even thinking if I can take TONS Of pictures in ET - I can make special calendars for our new little one of their home country and possibly even their caretakers and family if we can get their pictures. Wouldn't that be cool - especially when they get older.
Just check out this stuff and you possibly can get deals like this too - honestly www.Shutterfly.com is the only place we have found to do our pictures, cards and other photo related items over the last few years - they ROCK.

I must agree that Shutterfly Rocks! I have done a few books myself including ones for Dawn Nangle Honhera for her parents and in-laws as gifts and we were both very pleased. I think those are great ideas.
