I love making photo books! It's one of the things I've loved being a foster parent, is making my foster kid's their own Life Book. Now that I'm adopting, I need to tackle all the photo books I'm behind on! In order to do that, I thought I'd start tracking it here. I think photo books bring a story to life, keep wonderful track of milestones, and family events.
Goal:- Stay up-to-date with photos by creating photo books for special events (travel/trips) and a family yearbook (per year).
- For Trips and Vacations: complete within 1 month of trip.
- For Family Yearbook: update each month and complete in January of each year.
- Getting too busy.
- Losing motivation.
- Getting too far behind.
- Not finding the time.
- Being distracted.
- Mixbook
- Shutterfly
- Pinterest for ideas.
- Beth O'Malley for Life Book and Adoption Book ideas.
- Have beautiful books to share with family and friends.
- Provide a book for my kids to have when they are grown up.
- Track our Family C story.
- Discipline
- Knowledge of online photo book software.
- Backing up pictures to Shutterfly / iPhoto / iCloud
- Work on Photo Books each month - so that I don't get too far behind. Put time on calendar.
- Books to be completed:
- 2015 Hawaii Vacation - DONE via Mixbook
- 2015 Southern California/Disneyland Trip
- 2015 Family Yearbook
- 2016 Family Yearbook - IN PROGRESS
- Little Guy's 3-12 months book
