I really need to keep in mind to keep it SHORT! And, to not second guess my decisions!

I made a huge book for my Mom and she loved it, using her Grandparents on both sides of her family, and lots of lovely photos. It was such fun, I recently tried a Shutterfly book, similar to yours. I have to blog about it, as I just received it last week. I adore Shutterfly.

I have been completely satisfied with the final product, and it was not as expensive as one might think.<br />I've also spent hundreds of hours putting together "scrapbook type" history books, which have been costly and time-consuming.
