Last weekend, I FINALLY purchased a photobook of our trip to Europe! As I have in the past, I used Shutterfly to make this book, and I'm SUPER happy with the results. I have made 4 photobooks with Shutterfly - for our trips to Playa del Carmen, Zihuatanejo, New York, and a girls weekend to LA. I know there aren't as many options for customizing as other places, like blurb, but it's easy, the quality is really good, and I ALWAYS get coupons for them, so it ends up being pretty affordable! I got free shipping, but the book was still in my hot little hands within a week. Nice!
If you may recall, this trip occurred over a YEAR ago - this is by far my longest delay yet! I think I have a pretty good excuse though :) I started making this last winter, before Annie was born, but the large price tag was a deterrent. My mom and dad gave me a gift card to Shutterfly for my birthday, and I worked to reduce the huge number of pages to something a tiny bit more reasonable :) I still ended up with 90 pages, but I think I had about 150 when I first made it!! This was no small feat, considering that I took 1,671 pictures (and that is even after I deleted all the duplicate/blurry/bad photos). Yes, I have a problem :) The larger problem might be that the number seems kind of small to me! Here are some photos of the finished product...

That looks really cool! I'd love to do that for Billy's first Hilton Head vacation. Could you give me a round estimate on the large price tag? ;-)
Looks sweet... I look forward to paging through it first hand. The internet is great for pictures - but nothing beats going through an actual book of pictures.
Well, the total cost was like $180, but I only ended up paying $35 :) The book I got was 12x12 and 90 pages long though... smaller and shorter books are much cheaper. They ALWAYS have coupons for at least 30% off.
