My latest hobby :)

I am really enjoying creating photo books lately :) I created this photo book for my mum for Mothers Day.


She really loved it :) (although mum is always going to love anything I "make" for her!)



I loved making it so much I am in the process of doing one for myself and I know what the grandparents will be getting for xmas!




I think these might take the place of my photo albums.
 (I am still one of the few people that print my pics out and put them into albums!)


How about you?
Any photo books at your place?

Have a gorgeous day!

    I've wanted to sort our photos into something like that for a long time. But I have 8,000 to sort through! I think I'll wait until next year when I have a little more time. Your book looks wonderful. Rachaelxx

    I've always thought I should put some of the together - like Rachael and Anna I need to sort through the many photos on file here first. I like the idea of having some photobooks on a coffee table to flick through.

    They're a great idea. I have a friend that makes books of her holidays which I think is a lovely idea too. If I was organised I might make onemyself! x

    Thanks for posting this! I just printed 150 photos and I think from now on I am going to do these instead. I made them for grandparents for their first Christmas as grandparents, but I like the idea of having them at home as coffee table books.

    And the holiday book is a great idea too.

    Right...I'm onto it!!
