Great Christmas Gifts - Because my life is fascinating

I really wanted to be one of those people who had elaborate baby books for each of my children. I was off to a good start with my three scrapbooks I had assembled before having my kids.

Now?

I still don’t have baby books. And actually, those three scrapbooks are all still unfinished. Well, I know I’m finished with them, but they aren’t “completed” if you know what I mean. It doesn’t bother me too much, though, because they sit on some dusty shelf.

At least, I hope they sit on some dusty shelf. I tried to locate them before writing this post and I couldn’t find them. Just because I’m through with them doesn’t mean I don’t care about them. Those suckers are girded with a goldmine in stickers and die cuts.

I am done with scrapbooking (for now) and I believe I have found a terrific alternative in digital photo books and online printing.

There’s an abundance of online resources for photo printing and photo-book making. But beyond creating a lovely photo album, they don’t really inspire me that much.

I have big dreams, people. I want to write a book someday. Someday soon. Not to toot my own horn, but I’m the type of gal who is always on the lookout for practical ways to achieve my goals. I ain’t waiting for the Fairy Godmother. So when I say I want to write a book someday soon, I have a good idea in my mind of where I’ll start to make it a reality.

I can’t emphasize enough how thrilled I am with my Instagram book.

It took about 15 minutes to make an account, sync my Instagram, and then build my book. So easy a caveman could do it.
