photos and such

So ladies, I was curious what your method of saving all these precious memories would be. I am not what you would call a very crafty person at all, but I wanted something special to document my pregnancy, birth and life of Andrew. I made a scrapbook once for my sister's wedding(bachelorette party, dress shopping, etc.) and I swore that I would never do it again...at least not with scissors and glue. Anyways, we have taken a few photo shoots along with personal photos up until this point and I was thinking it was a shame to just have them floating around in my lab top. So I started looking into photo book options. I have gotten a few emails for trail books, and I have never taken the opportunity to look any further into it...I know I am a dummy head because they were free trails. SO last night I started putting one together. It isn't complete, but I am really happy with they way it has turned out so far. I would love any suggestions on different sites to you or different placements of pictures. It took a few hours to get to here, but for the price and the effort I am a happy camper. My hope is to do this with all our milestones, so one for our wedding pictures. This one is my maternity pictures. One for his newborn shots, one for the photo shoot we just had, and the last one to be of his first year of life. After that point I just want to do these yearly...

  2. I use snapfish as well... I'm making one month by month through Laine's first year and I'm going to try to keep up with it yearly and give them as Christmas gifts for the grandparents (since she was born in November). It's a little pricey to have so many pages, but totally worth it, and I they are good quality as well.

  3. For my pregnancy, I made this really cool scrapbook using all the neat papers and letters and pics from each trimester and stuff. I love it, but I can't imagine investing the time (or money!!) to keep that up for every year of Isaac's life. Right now, we're printing off our favorite pics and keeping them in albums. The rest of the 500 million pictures I take are kept in folders on the computer and then backed up to cd just in case. I love the snapfish idea and might try it out for the end of the year and do a page for his main milestones and months. Looks great!
