We had a lot of wonderful pictures from our family vacation to Michigan this year. I wanted a great way to display our trip to preserve the memories. With my MIL’s birthday coming up, we decided to take our family photos and create a photobook on Lulu.com to remember all of the fun times we had. We knew that she would love to have a keepsake of the family trip.
Lulu.com is a unique online publishing company. Here is a little bit more about the company from their website:
Lulu.com brings the world of online book publishing to you. Looking to self-publish? Lulu’s print on demand (POD) solutions make it quick and easy. Create a book in minutes, publish with the click of a mouse, distribute, sell and print books to order. It’s that simple. Trying to make a photo book? Want to make your own calendar? Our easy-to-use online publishing tool allows you to publish and print your own high-quality photo book or calendar in minutes. Want to convert your book into an eBook? We’ve got you covered. With Lulu you can self publish and distribute your eBook in EPUB format making it compatible with the Apple iPad, Sony Reader, Stanza and more. Not looking to make a book or print a book? Lulu has a great selection of books, cheap textbooks, photo books and eBooks for you to buy. With our great prices and free shipping deals, shopping for books at Lulu is an easy choice!
We decided to take our photos and create a photo book of our trip. It was extremely easy to upload and create the pages in our photo book. You can select from different themes to suite your needs. We went with a classic theme for our memory book. You can change the layout of each page to suit your needs. For example one page I put some fishing pictures on and added a caption, and on another I picked out 4 pictures in a series of TJ trying to sit in a tube (so cute). I was amazed at how simple it was to create the book and how professional looking it turned out!
If you are looking to sell your book, you can self-publish it and other family members can go and purchase the same book later. I love these feature because I have many family members spread out all over the country and I can send them to the link and they are able to see the book without having it in their hands. Overall, we are very happy and pleased with our photo book. We love having this special reminder of the wonderful summer vacation sitting on the coffee table.
