I remember years ago when someone said ‘if your house was on fire what would you save?’ I’d always reply my photograph albums, they contained all my memories, so precious.
These days it’s not such a worry. You don’t even have to save your laptop because you can guarantee your photos and memories are backed up somewhere online.
I do still love photo albums though, I feel there is something so relaxing and enjoyable about creating one. Back in the day (I don’t believe I just said that on my blog!) I would collect my prints form the chemist and come home excitedly to fill an album. I have albums for all of my babies, all of my holidays and special occasions, going back many many years.
Here’s one I made in May 1989. The Little boy is my eldest son and the young pregnant woman is me!
I used to buy quality albums which were often leather bound, they had to stand the test of time, just as this one has for 27 years.
The themed books come with background and places to put your photos, you just have to drag and drop them into place. You can also change background and text, or add your own text. Here is a page about our trip to Hatton Farm.
I’m hoping the cover will keep it safe and it will last as long as my old album.
I’m looking forward to creating my next photo book of my wedding reception photos in November. I’m thinking of a nice leather bound photo book with a window at the front for my first photograph. They start from just £28.95 for a 20 page A5 book.
Such a fab way to present your memories. I rarely.peint photos these days because our lives are so digital but I really love the idea of a properly presented book. Great post, I'll definitely be using the code at the bottom!
I love looking at photographs – thanks for the discount code!
What a lovely photo album. I'm the same with photographs, I still.like to have them printed out
I love your book. I think it is great to print our special images and to be able to look at them again ana again
I'll have to take you up on your offer & get our wedding photos into an album, can you believe we haven't done that yet?! Remember I won a competition on this blog? That was the last time I put an album together…we're thinking if retrospectively doing one for each yr since the boys were born (much easier to do digitally!)
This looks like a great service. I really need to print some of our pictures out, as I haven't got round to it for a couple of years. I do always put together a photo album as a birthday present for my Grandma though (now 92).
I keep saying that I really must make some photo books but I never seem to find the time. Adding to my to do x
I have those same old leather albums but this new one you created online looks fab, great quality. Mich x
These are just darling, and invite you to pick them up and peruse. Doing something creative with my photos has long been on my list, but that list is now so long that I'm afraid I'll never last long enough to do even half of it.
THANKS FOR THIS, I WANT TO GET ONE DONE OF OUR RECENT HOLIDAY
