Photo Book Bonanza

I've been MIA around here because I've totally gone nuts over Photo Books.  I can't stop making them!

I just finished the ABC Inspiration class I started last month and at the end we publish the little photo book we build during the course.  I LOVED my book SO much that I decided to make another book using of photos from my recent New York trip...

Well I adored that book so much that I then thought, why not place my digital scrapbook layouts in some books too!  And well, that was that.  Let the photo book craziness begin!  I happen to have TONS and TONS of layouts and I wanted them all to be in photo books...sooooo...now you can see why I've been a bit busy ;) 

I also started comparing photo book websites.  I can tell ya this, I have been very pleased with Snapfish thus far.  I do not like PaperKiwi, which was recommended by my class.  iPhoto has always had excellent quality but it's pricey and they never have deals.
BUT, drum roll please............ 
My new fave...like absolute total big time fave is Mixbook.  You can totally design your own front cover with backgrounds, stickers, fonts...it's totally like digital scrapping!  It was too fun and very much the reason why I have been up until 12:30 AM for the past two nights.  The site is very user friendly and seems to have some sort of social aspect to it which I don't participate in but may be appealing to some.  I also love the way they animate your book when you are completed.  Overall I found it to be a nice site and they have lots of deals!  Right now they everything is 25% off! 

I also found this blog which is fantastic!  PhotoBookGirl has everything you need to know about every photo book site!  I found it to be very helpful and suggest you do check it out.

Totally unrelated....
I finally got a pair of Toms...the silver glittery ones!  OMG.  They are the cutest ever.  They just make me smile.

Ok well I want to get to bed before 12 AM tonight so I am going to get going...
Have a lovely evening!
