I just want to state that this is not an ad or a gimmick...I wish it was, then I would be making some money...but this is something that has really worked for our family. Jay and I both are really great about taking pictures constantly. I think we are so afraid of missing something that we always have the camera on hand. Even when we do not have the camera we always have our phones that have a decent camera. It is great to take a lot of pictures, but printing them off and making them into something is just as important. Today I received my third free photo book in the mail from shutterfly. I think we initially got on their mailing list when Charlotte was born and we ordered her birth announcements. I believe we even had a coupon for those also!
About every three months they send out a free 8x8 hardbound book promotion. I have to say that I have used every offer that they have sent out, but typically I am trying to get it created before the promotion expires hours before it is due, always in bed, wishing I had done it earlier in the day and not at bed time. I have decided that in twenty or thirty years I will not remember that I made every book in bed cursing myself for waiting to the last minute, but I will be happy to have the memories documented.
Ahhh, memories in the making. It is already fun to go back and see how she has changed so much!
I really like that they are hard covered and bound just like a book, I feel they are a little heavier duty that way.
You can also limit the amount of time you use with the books. You can choose to customize every aspect of your book or you can have them autofill a book for you. The control freak in me loves how every page can look just as I want it! 
I know that Charlotte will love looking at these in upcoming years...but not yet, she is too rough! Now my only challenge is to keep them just out of her reach!
Hope you are encouraged to sign up, make an account at shutterfly and maybe very soon start making free memories!
