Anyways, I have started this adventure with a little bit of a twist. First of all, I wanted something totally adorable and I didn't want it to look like I cheaped out or didn't make any sort of effort. Sooo I looked on Etsy.com (yes, I suck and cannot do all those cute DIY stuff myself) and they were RIDICULOUSLY expensive. I get it, they spend a lot of time on it, but 150$ for a baby book? Sheesh.
Anyways after a lot of searching and brainstorming I happened to be cleaning out some of my baby shower stuff a stumbled on a gift-card for Shutterfly, a website that makes personal baby books, wedding books, books, books, books! When I went to the website I was immediately addicted. SOO many choices and they are reasonable priced.
If you go with the largest book (12"x12") in the storytelling (which is more expensive I guess because they allow you to have more personal touches) a 20 pages hard cover book is only $32.00!
On top of that, when I purchased something at Motherhood they gave me a "new mommy kit" which had like the best coupons ever, and included a $20 off at Shutterfly! So, I get an amazing baby book for only $12, HOLLA!
Here are some examples of the baby book I have been making. Beware, it really is addicting! But they are the perfect gift for grandmas and other extended family members, and a timeless memory!
