I really purposed this year, to do pages for my year books during the MOC. I mean sometimes you just can't, but I was able to (I had also been scrapping these events the last few months too), but I got Jan/Feb 2016 AND Mar/April 2016! Totally 100% Lily Pad! There are a few pages from MOC4 in there too! I am so excited!

Jan/Feb 2016

Mar/April 2016

there is ONE page I did not make, but @carilyne did! tee hee!!! a full double pager in my book!

Way to scrap em Anne!

I ordered one on Tuesday and wish it was here already. It's so fun turning the pages and ohhhing and ahhhing over the layouts.
 
Congratulations Anne!!! I'm hoping to send one maybe 2 in February. I remember that page I made. That was the funnest April Fool's.
 
Awesome! I just finished the last page needed to print my next book too! I'm going to wait until I finish MOC first though. :)
 
I got my book for 2016 back two days ago. I can't believe that I am done with last year and have the book already printed. My boys loe those books (the younger one always has a stack of photobooks in his bed and looks at the at bedtime).

2014 and 2015 are ready to be printed but they are so big (2014 is actually two volumes because I ran out of pages in the software) so I am waiting for someone to pay for them, :-).

It's always such a great feeling to have a book finishes and to hold it in your hands.

@AnneofAlamo Are you always doing two months in one book? Sounds like a fun idea...
 
@Rikki
I started getting big books done, but the cost all at one time I didn't like. Plus, they were so big, I worried about the binding and spine. I like the feel of the big books though. I did a Week in the LIfe book a few years back. It was 28 pages. I thought, hmmmm, lets just print it (I had a free book coupon) so it was so cheap too. My family loved it! So, the 2 month book was born. I do jan/feb mar/apr week in the life (was May last year), JUN/July (love summer together) Aug/Sep oct/Nov and the a Christmas book. Seven Books a year, and I love them on the shelf. Like you, my kids take a stack to bed, to church and will read them all the time! Many of my kids, as they learned to read, were sounding out journaling off my pages. I love, love printing these books!
 
@AnneofAlamo
That's a really good idea. So often you get the coupons for a free 20 page book and I never use them because what is 20 pages? But when you look at it that way, it's something I have to think about for 2017.
 
@Rikki and the free book coupon is also a $20 off your book. As soon as I get a coupon, I am uploading to Shutterfly. LOL, it is my motivator too!
 
Awesome, @AnneofAlamo ... I need to print again!

Love this so much. :heartslub #bedtimestories
 
Love it, Anne! I just sent off 4 books to the printers, too. Shutterfly has a 40% off coupon (BEMINE) that expires tomorrow.
 
Anne, I love scrolling through all your fantastic "boy" LO's. Praise God for boys and Shutterfly coupons!
