I saw some Blurb Books at a recent event, and was pretty impressed.  I used to scrapbook (but not well) and love the idea of being able to digital create something for our family back in the UK.

This worked when I had a camera that used film, and I could send it in, and have those lovely hard copies, ready for mailing, in my hand!

With the digital world as it is,  I am always forgetting to print pics. The process just doesn’t seem the same.

I tried out Blurb, and linked it to my instagram. It was easy, and the book is great.  It is just about to be popped into the mail for the Mother-in-law and will hopefully make her day!  It is a soft cover, but the paper is nice quality.  There is even room in the creation process to add text to give background to your images.

Blurb has a great deal on right now for Mothers day. If you have been thinking about trying it,
