Emily, I'm responding to your Sutterfly questions on my blog. The books are so great. They're not cheap, but they are probably comparable to hand made scrapbooks after you print the pics, buy the paper, binder, plastic sheets, and decorations! I make my mom a 8x11 one every year and there's about 50-60 pages in it with about 200-300 pictures inside and it costs about $70. I figure that's totally good! Plus, that's with a leather cover. You can also get fabric covers for cheaper. I made Brigham a 12x12 one with the same number of pics and pages and it was $100. I did his in literally three days, for a couple hours each day. You get really fast once you know where the cute backgrounds are and how to work it all and everything. My mom's is harder because I have to gather pictures from all my siblings and stuff, so I usually start hers in November and it's here by Christmas. But I think I'm going to start just creating them as I gather pictures because you can journal in them better that way. And the thing I love about them also is that you can order multiples of the same book in different sizes and you get a discount. So, next year, I'm going to make Brigham's 12x12 and then make and 8x8 copy for Emily and Scotty so they can have their own to keep forever. Maybe I'll keep them in my posession until they get married or something and then give them all at once. I don't know. Plus, you don't have to get out the mess everytime you wanna work on it. Go check it out. You'll love it. Shutterfly has awesome quality too so I probably wouldn't use like Kodak books or something, even though their's are cheaper probably. The books turn out totally totally cute. You'll love it! Sorry so long. I miss you!!
