Making Shutterfly ABC Books

     Do you take so many pictures you don't know what to do with them all?  Why don't you make a  Shutterfly book with them?  Last fall I made my first ABC book on farms for two of my grandchildren.  My daughter Michelle has been making Shutterfly books for many years, and so I thought I would give it a try. Before I left a few weeks later to visit my aunt on her farm in Kansas, I had made a list of farm animals and objects that could go with all the letters of the alphabet.  While I was visiting my aunt and uncle, they joined me in finding pictures for my book.

     Before I go on, I have to say I've really liked Shutterfly's user friendly website that helped me make a really great looking book.  They have really neat background wallpaper, and they have a lot of layouts for your pictures so that each page looks different. You can also choose from a variety of fonts and ink colors. Anyway I noticed how much my granddaughter liked seeing herself in the Farm ABC Book so this September I decided to make a  Beach ABC Book that highlighted pictures of the grandchildren at the beach. Within a week it came in the mail, and it was as beautiful as it appeared on the website.

    This past weekend we went to visit our grandchildren and our three-year-old granddaughter was excited for me to show her the book. Here is a picture of me reading it to her for the first time.  Her favorite picture was her riding in a Little Tikes car that belonged to the neighbor's. She kept turning back to that page; in fact, that's the page this picture shows we're looking at right now!
