One of my favorite gifts this year is actually one that I made myself. It’s a photo book from Shutterfly.com made with some of my favorite photos of Daisy and her Papa! It was super easy to make and I wish I’d done it sooner since now I see what great keepsakes they are. You just choose the style, theme and layout you like and then either let it automatically fill in the pages, or do them one by one yourself.

I kept mine simple, but you can also add captions or text to tell a story, or even upload recipes and photos of your favorite family dishes and create a cookbook! A photo book would also make a great wedding present or baby book! You can use photos from Facebook too, and I really took advantage of that.

If you want to make your own photo book, now it a great time since Shutterfly is offering up to 40% Off! Just click here to get started making yours. You can save your project as you go and come back to it later so it’s super-easy to play around with and see how you like it before ordering. Mine came out exactly the way I previewed it and I love it!
