Christmas from the Heart: Photobooks

I wanted to share with you another personal and inexpensive gift idea. I made this photo book through Snapfish. I titled it the 12 Months of Megan.


I choose a handful of pictures from each month for the last year.


I then went in and created a page or two for each month.


I hope you are able to tell that there is a variety of layouts you can choose from.


I started with December of last year and then moved forward. This book is a gift for Megan's grandma & grandpa (Chuck's mom & stepdad). I keep that in mind while making the book and tried to include photos of them with Megan. I know without a doubt that they will love this gift. The best part is that it cost less then $8.00 to make this.

How many of you Coke drinkers are doing the my coke reward program? If not, I would encourage you to. We have been trading in our points for snapfish products. We are able to print 4x6 photos for free and then I think we were able to print two photobooks this year. There are some limits of what you can do, but to only pay shipping I am willing to jump through a few hoops.

I am off to start my day with a trip to the grocery store. I want to beat the Arctic cold front that is on it's way. I am not quite ready to shop in 20* weather yet. Brrrr! Have a great day.

  1. so cute...that's how I preserve our vacation memories since there are just TOO MANY pictures to scrapbook. I also make a picture calendar each year for the grandparents! I love coke rewards...I trade them in for free coke all the time!

  9. I love the book idea. I've been debating either making a calender or book for family that live in other states. I'm leaning towards calender because you can add pictures to specific dates for birthdays and anniversaries and such. :)

  10. Hey Wendi! I do the SAME exact thing for Christmas each year for my parents and my in-laws! They love it because they get pics of the kids from the past year.
