After our camping trip, Hubby began doing extensive research on exactly which client we should use to create our digital photo albums.  I just assumed that I’d use iPhoto’s built in book maker.  So I mentioned that to Hubby.  But I’ve also had experience with Blurb.com’s version.  Both seemed good to me.

So Hubby checked them out.  He made books using each client.  But he just wasn’t happy.  Each had something about it that wasn’t so great.  In iPhoto, it was hard to make captions, as it wasn’t built into each template.  In Blurb.com, Hubby didn’t like the static look of each page.

So he checked out Shutterfly.com.  And loved it.  Shutterfly gives you the option to totally customize each page.  Each background color and design can be made, captions can be put on each picture, and there are a ton of different page layout options.

This propelled me into getting organized.  Yesterday I sorted all the photos I have into folders by birth year for both of my kids.  In BC’s first year of life, there were 1100 or so pictures alone….  Next step is to sort through those pictures and find the top 100 or so.  Oy vey.  I have a lot of work to do!
