Snapfish is an online photo service that allows you to store photos to share with others. All that's required to get started is to set up a free account, then prints can be ordered, photos can be downloaded from the site into your computer, and items can be made out of those photos (e.g. books, posters, and mugs). It's a great way to view family and friends' photo collections to be able to select and purchase the photos that you want. For one week, through December 2, Snapfish is offering 50% off photo books on their site. For each photo book purchased, Snapfish will donate $1.00 to a food bank in your home state. This promotion was featured on Rachel Ray's Thanksgiving on Main Street Show that aired November 25. You just need to enter the coupon code RRBOOK during the checkout payment step upon completion of your book. I created an 8x8-inch 20-page hardcover photo book of my grandkids. It's quite simple. First, you decide what photos and scans you want to use and upload them to Snapfish. Next, you choose a book format, size, and theme. Finally, you can either use the auto-fill option which automatically adds photos to your book or you can manually place each one where you choose. Once you become familar with the commands and what your options are, it is really a simple and quite amazing process as the album begins to take shape on your computer screen and you can flip each page to see your handiwork before purchasing your end-product. Here is a sampling of pages from my book. On some pages I told a story...
On other pages I featured a grandchild's artwork...
or a collage of themed photos...
