I love 'em. I'm making a snapfish one at the moment from our trip. It's taking ages to cull the 1100+ photos into a manageable amount :8} :^O

Are they hard copy printed, or digital? I've heard a lot about them, it might be a good way to organise my photos before they fade away with age.

Made with digital prints online, and printed as hard copies into photo books.

I did a small size one with snapfish for my Mum a few months ago. It was on special about $10 for the book incl postage.

That sounds like a great idea! First I need to scan my photos... No, first buy a scanner lol

Sorry, I was distracted. I have started making them as "photo albums" like we used to do with prints.

I'm up to 33 pages in this one and it's telling me it will be $53.60, but I usually wait until they have a half price special and get them printed then. I just leave them sitting in the My Projects section of the website until I'm ready.

They quality is really good. I have made ones for my mum for her birthday, of a holiday to NZ for a wedding, Christmas - and they are really easy to do.

I need to buy a scanner also. All of the photos of my kids were taken with film camera.

Your local library might have a scanner you can use. Depends if you want to spent oodles of time getting them done.

Thanks Lurker.................I finally worked it out on blurb but I think they are a bit pricey, $37ish for the real simplistic one.

If you register with them, they email offers like 1/2 price, so worth waiting until those.
