One of my life goals was to some day publish a book using some wonderful anole (lizard) pictures I had taken in Hawaii. I got introduced to Shutterfly by my daughter who had uploaded pictures to share with family and friends. Being able to view one another's pictures is great and then if you want to order any prints you can do it right then. The site was very exciting to me with all the different ways to be creative. I found the photo books and decided to try it out on my anole pictures. I ordered three books because I thought it would be a nice book to keep for myself and share with my daughters and grandchildren. I was amazed at the quality of the book and pictures. Everyone I showed it to was so impressed and could not believe I had done the book all by myself. Since that time I have made story books for my grandchildren, a Garden tea photo book for a Red Hat friend's birthday, and a spectacular book for my husband with the pictures he and two friends took on their hike up and down the Grand Canyon. I love that you can decide on the layouts and backgrounds. It is a lot easier than scrapbooking. They are heirloom quality books to pass down to your family. I am so excited to give them as gifts and share them with others. My grandchildren love their storybooks because they are in the pictures in the book. You can even put a picture or collage of pictures on the front and back covers of the books. They make great coffee table additions too. Every year now I have my daughter give us a photo calendar filled with photos of the grandchildren that she makes at Shutterfly. You can save the calendar at the end of the year too. Everything I have ordered from Shutterfly has been top quality and I highly recommend this site.
