It always seems like such a daunting task to me and I always put it off! But I love the end results! What about you?

It's a pain in the butt, but I make around 6 every year. Mostly for grandparents and one for my daughter (her birthday pics).

Hate it, which is why despite countless "get a free photo book" shutterfly codes I still have never done one!
Someone should do one for me & I'll give then the promo code to put in! Lol

@chopsuey119: 6 a year is a lot! I'm still trying to finish K's one year album! Ugh.

@runsyellowlites: Lol yep! I also hate sorting through all the pictures and trying to decide which ones to use!

@runsyellowlites: omg you should always redeem the free code! I always get one around DD's birthday I've made her books for both of her birthdays and she LOVES them. LOVEs LOVES them

@Springtime: it's really just 3 since I send identical ones (minus a few tweaks) to each set of grandparents
Definitely a pain though!

I love the end result but I always end up rushing to use a coupon code before it expires. I don't add words cause that's just too much effort.

@Springtime: after you order a book they'll send promo codes every once in a while. Free photo prints, free 8x8 books. I always use shutterfly.

I make 1 a year and I like it! I think the end result is worth the time it takes.

I think it's kind of fun!
Whenever I download photos from my camera I make a subfolder with copies of the pics that are "album worthy" from each event right away, and then round them up to do a yearbook, and sometimes a full book for certain big events like our "best of the guests" album from our wedding related festivities and a whole book dedicated to a month long trip to Europe. Makes it a big less overwhelming when you can just upload photos without having to look through an extended period worth.
I suspect my enthusiasm/organization may wane once the baby actually arrives though... haha.
