Hi
I have just found the link to your blog and I am loving your approach to documenting your children’s lives. Basically all of my photos are still on the computer!!! I have managed to do 1 travel album through iphoto books. Is there a particular reason why you choose to use photo works for your digital books and not through Apple? Could you also email me the link to your digital albums, and journals if they are still available. Also could you please do an update on your blog of how you handle the whole scrapbooking process - I find it quite daunting. Are you still doing the year in review books for your children and the journal and the travel albums plus what other projects?? You have been an inspiration and a lifesaver - I will be following your blog. Thankyou so much. Belinda

Thank you so much for this great post! I was wondering which format & size of book you used? There are so many choices, it’s hard to know what would work the best.

I have come back to your blog often to check out your photobooks. I love how you create one each year for each child!! A friend and I are wanting to do the same with our families. The quality of some that I’ve used, snapfish, wolfcamera, are lacking to say the least. I have not yet ordered from photoworks.

I would enjoy looking at more of what you’ve created if the link is still available..if not I’ll just keep enjoying your blog…creating my own blog is another thing I haven’t got around to doing yet!

Thanks for your inspiration! And Merry Christmas!!

Hi Danelle:

Just found the link to your “Documenting our world in picutures” in the comments section of Ali Edward’s blog. Was wondering if it’s possible to read more the other posts you had planned on doing? Also, it is still possible to get a link to the other books? This sounds like such a great idea! Can’t wait to try. BTW what size books were they.
Thanks.

I realize this is an old post, but I found it today through a link on Ali Edwards’ blog. I have 2 children (11 and 5). My oldest has so many pages, but since my youngest was born, I just seem to take pictures (tons!) and buy supplies (lots!), and never actually scrapbook. This post has gotten me excited! I would love to see the links to the books, and am going to look through your blog now in hopes of finding more great ideas, like those you’ve mentioned “more on those later to come”. Thank you!

Hi….I have just found a link to your blog and love what you have said here! I totally relate to this post and have been considering photobooks …you have convinced me this is a great way to keep on top of the 1000’s of photos I take.
I was wondering what size these albums are too? It may be somewhere else…so sorry for asking if the answer is out there.
I am going to have a look at the rest of your blog.
Thanks for sharing your process.

I know you posted this a long time ago, but I found the link on Jessica Turner’s blog. I love this idea! What size book do you use?

Is it still possible to get a link to your books?

Thanks for your great ideas!

hi there! this is a great idea. i was wondering what size the albums are that you show. are they 8×8? i want to switch to digital, but i feel sooo guilty because of all the money i have spent on the supplies for the traditional scrapbooking. i feel like i should use up what i have. or maybe sell it? but i think digital books are the most practical for the long run and definitely time savers.

Hi Danielle,
I love the idea of these books. I would love to have a link to them. I have made one photo book for each of my children, but it’s not a year in review like that (one is about colors, the other family, and the other the story of when we got our kitten). I am definitely going to do the year in review books. I love scrapbooking, but am soooooo behind that I find the idea of even getting started daunting. This would give me peace of mind knowing that our favorite photos are printed in a book, and it will free me up to scrap the ones that are the most important, and the most important events too. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I look forward to checking your blog more often.

Hi Danelle, I love all the stuff you do. I was trying to find information on the family photo library spiral books you get from Photoworks. I can’t seem to find them on their site. Can you point me in the right direction of how to get something like this done? It sounds like it’s just a big index of all the photos for the year that you had also put on CD. Is that correct? Thanks!
