My dear mother
(who cleaned up projectile vomit my first months of life)
will have to snag this low resolution picture
off of my blog and then print it out.
There was a day when I used actual film.
Film. (throws head back and laughs)
And I got 2 sets of all pictures I took.
I split up the extras between the Grandparents.
Every time we saw the Grandparents, I handed them some photos.
Flash forward 4 years or so of living the digital photo life.
The Grandparents miss the days of getting photos.
We are sometimes reminded about those good ol' days of getting photos by the hand full.
Here are my ideas for keeping the Grandparents happy using the magic that is Shutterfly.
1. Make a yearly "brag book" for Grandma's purse (5x7 size).
2. Set up a Shutterfly account for the Grandparents
(with their permission)
You'll need their e-mail address and a password.
When you load photos into your Shutterfly account, take a few minutes to load those same photos into the Grandparents' account. Then you can give them a gift card for Christmas or Grandparent's Day of Mother's Day to order pictures.
(Yes, you could use the same account - but then your credits from un-used up gift cards are harder to keep separate. And it will keep projects you are working - like photo books - a secret.)
And no...I haven't done this yet. I only got the brilliant idea this weekend after finishing up my photo book. But I'm gonna. Promise, Mom.
3. Do you need a 3? Did you read how clever #2 was?
Give away for Tuesday: A Shutterfly 5x7 soft cover Photo Book!
(Perfect for the Grandma's purse)
