Last year I bought a groupon for photobook credit and I finally used it. I'm a procrastinator and (in some things) perfectionist so it has taken me forever (and great amounts of therapy) to finally complete a book and push the "Order Now" button. Well, fortunately my groupon was about to expire so I had no choice but find the year that I was closest with and finish it up. No it is not perfect, not even close, but it is submitted and I didn't waste the groupon money. I learned from my dear friend Ann that "done is better than perfect" and I find myself repeating that nearly every day.
If you read this and are interested in a review or pricing of the project because you intend to do photobooks yourself, leave me a comment. Otherwise I'll keep my opinions to myself. But I will tell you that I LOVE HAVING THE PHOTOS PRINTED! There is something wonderful about holding it in my hands. And, although it isn't perfect and I wish I would have done many things differently I am really proud of it. Really it is piece of art- my family, my project, my art. (there, I complimented myself. Now you don't have to dig for compliments to leave in my comments :o)
Here is the digital version of the completed book:
Yipee! Done.
