A little over a year ago, I started trying to organize & "manage" the thousands of personal digital photos that are taking up space, doing nothing, on my hard drive. The bulk of the images are, you guessed it, of the kids.

I have some of my favorites printed & framed and hanging around the house, but what to do with all the others? Every week, I try to carve out a little time to "clean" out the files. There are a lot of great images, but there is also a lot of crap (screen shots, funny memes,etc). I cull & edit, then begin moving them to a file that will later become a photo book.

Over the years, I've made several books for other people. My goal for the next year is to make photo books that cover the first 3 years of each of the boys lives. Wish me luck!

With that in mind, I thought I'd share this deal from one of my affiliates*, Shutterfly. Through December 10 (that's just 3 days!), they are offering 50% off the first 20-pages of hard photo cover Photo Books and 40% off all other Photo Book Cover Types, additional Photo Book Pages and everything else using the code: FAVES40. *fyi: as an affiliate partner, I get small commissions from link clicks on my page...
