Just last week we traveled to Minnesota to visit our families and we took a lot of pictures. Over 500 to be honest. With all the family reunion parties, attending the State Fair and some fun dirt track racing there were a lot of opportunities to capture some great pictures.
One of my favorite ways to preserve these memories is by making photo books with Shutterfly Photo books. I have a whole bookcase full of photo books of our trips up North, and cruises, and holidays at the beach. The wonderful thing about Shutterfly is that you can upload your pictures and then share them with everyone you included in your pictures. A photo book is also a great gift to share those pictures. My favorite size is the 8x8 hard cover photo book.
My other plan with these recent family pictures is to make a Christmas card using the photo of our entire extended family. Luckily the timing worked and everyone was able to attend a BBQ and we took lots of great family shots.
And of course, I took lots of nature pictures that I can make into beautiful Thank You cards to send to our hostesses.
