Shutterfly is great, I use them every year to make my own wall calendar. They always make a quality product – as Penny's book illustrates!

I'm out of the loop on what our Books department may be interested in, but if Penny is interested, message me and I'll give you the contact person/info.

Rene, since you've looked in on this, how about Kalmbach publishing Becky's book? Certainly it can't be called "Disneyland," copyrights and all, but how about "A Penny Trains Christmas?"
Keep the price reasonable and I'll betcha it'll sell!
Really, from what I can see from the photos in the post it's stunning!
FYI, I've made books like this for all sorts of reasons, but wanted to add a tip. Before checking out, go to retailmenot.com and look for a coupon code. Places like Shutterfly and Snapfish almost always have coupon deals!
Becky, we had some chocolate covered dates a few Christmases back, they were especially tasty. Prunes, dried figs, raisins, all good.
All kidding aside,
Great info on scrap booking. I've got 10 bazillion slides from railfan days I need to scan. Someday... Most of the steamers I chased aren't running anymore. I managed to somehow miss 611 every single time.
Lucky to have seen 1361, she hasn't turned a wheel since.

Firelock76 what the BYOB really meant
I believe the first thread I started over here was titled "date me", so yes, I do have a history.
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Great info share, thanks Beck!
HaHa!! Becky hooked me in on that one too! Great idea, though. I know there's at least 6 full scrapbooking totes taking up valuable train storage space in my basement.......
Wow. That's probably better than any souvenir book you could get at Disneyland.
I have to confess I was a little disappointed at what the BYOB really meant in this thread's heading, but only for about five seconds!
Bind Your Own Book!
Got digital photos of your layout? How about old prints or slides? Have a way of scanning or otherwise converting them to a digital format? Then let me show you the future of scrapbooking.
There's no need anymore to print individual photos and spend hours pasting them into a scrapbook or photo album. Today's photo sharing sites can print them into a book for you!
A couple of days work was all it took to organize, write and order my very own layout scrapbook.
A 30 page 8" by 11" hardbound book with dust cover cost me $49.15 delivered. It would have been about $72, but I had a 40% off coupon for creating a new Shutterfly account. There were a lot of options for page layouts, including having the Shutterfly people do it for me. I chose to do it myself and have plain white pages, but there were many options for backgrounds I could have used. There were also options for glossy paper, matte covers, etc. but the only extra I added was $5 for the dust jacket (gives it more class ).
This was a fun project!
