So that I could fit them all in one Shutterfly book, I decided to do one page per week. My week runs from Sunday to Saturday, so I started with a 3 pic page for the first week (Jan. 1-3) and then will run 7 pics per page until the very last page which will have 5 pics (Sun - Thurs 12/31). For me this makes it easy because I can do it every weekend and I set up my template once and plan to use the same one all year. I am varying the orientation of photos each week as needed so that each page doesn't look exactly the same, but overall it is the same template. I also am planning to change the colors with each season. Not exactly sure how I will do that yet, but we'll see when I get past the gray's of winter! It has been very stress free to just pop in a picture every night with a small amount of journaling about the day.
