Smile Just received my first Shutterfly book today...

and I am hooked! I absolutely love the quality, and they were so quick in getting it to me!

I can't wait to finish my dd's first year album, I'm sure that'll be my next one... then an album of my childhood... possibly a few gift albums that I was planning to do and never got around to last year...

oh boy, I have album fever! anyone else experience this after their first printed album?

Congratulations on your first of many!

Yes as soon as I got my first one I had to have more! I've done 4 so far and can't wait to do some as gifts!

Yes, they are addictive!

I don't know if you ladies with diapered little ones use Pampers or not, but if you do, you can collect Pamper's Points and earn free Shutterfly books! I have earned 2 so far and I am on my way to a 3rd!

I know, I know! I feel the same way about the printed photo album books I've ordered from Shutterfly!! It's a wonderful addiction, don't you think......so motivating to get the memories scrapped so we can assemble the next book. LOL!

eta: Wow, I just looked at your book. It is so well done! You are a master!!! Thanks for the link! I am inspired by the beauty of your pages!

OMG Laura! You just reminded me that I have enough points there for a book and I totally forgot about it! LOL, well at least I know how I'll be paying for my next one!

and thank you for those sweet words, Merr - you've added the sprinkles onto my ice cream sundae kind of day!

So much fun isn't it?! It is so much fun to see our pages come to life in a real life book!

Yay, Christine! What size did you get?

What I'm loving about these books is how my dh immediately opens them and starts looking at them ---- a lot of my digital pages are never seen by my family . . . . until they are just now finally making it into books.

Debbie, I'm finding the same thing to be true! There is much more interest in looking at the books in my family, too!

Oh my gosh! How do you do this??? I use pampers! I don't print shutterfly books for myself (my kids would destroy them - I need protectors over my pages) But, I love to give them as gifts = )

I went with the 8x8 size and I really like it! And I agree, I think now that my dh and extended family can see my pages in book form they will understand my obsession/hobby a bit more!

Christine, I've had the exact same feeling with all the books I've ordered. The last big package to come (I had three prints of the same book) I sat there with the package on the kitchen table in front of me for a good 10 minutes before I opened it, just savouring the feeling of excitement, hahahahahahaha. It never goes away, seeing your hard work in print.
