I’m planning to focus on photos this summer - nice way to spend the hot days inside with the AC going, and a glass of lemonaide! I learned the hard way too, to not send so many to print, not because they didnt work but the woman in line behind me was ready to tar and feather me. Smaller amounts next time.

Kudos for ordering the pics. That’s always been an issue for me too. I made a few albums for family members at xmas and I was so darn proud of myself. I found Shutterfly while we were living in the US and I’ve continued to use them since we;ve moved back to Canada. Never once been charged duty and the quality is just amazing.

I am so glad that you found an option that works well for you. I really need to start getting pictures developed soon or I won’t be able to afford getting them all started at the same time.

I’ve just scanned this and saw you went to Save On. I don’t really know what that is but a great place I use (fellow Canadian here) is Zehrs (they have a bunch of affiliates so I don’t know if Save On is one of them out there) or Wal-Mart. I find the Zehrs pictures nicer. I do all mine on-line and like to wait for their deals. The only hint I would give, if doing them on-line is to view them in the viewing window to make sure it’s centred the way you want. I learned this AFTER doing all of Rachel’s baby pictures and only a small amount weren’t focused the way I’d want to do them. I realize this is late as I’m catching up here.

I’m sorry you had to face some frustration with the whole thing. I make something similar to a “pictures to print” folder too. :0) I hope your pictures turn out nicely. :0)

You want to hear something sad…my son’s birth mother has more printed pictures of Snuggle Bug than we do! We’re committed to sending her pictures and an update every 6 months and I never skip this. So, I go through my digital images, pick out my favorites, and make prints for her. I really need to get double prints done!

Good luck on all of this. I know you can’t use Snapfish, but I use it and it’s great. They have a feature where you can mark prefered images as a “favorite” and those pictures are automatically filtered into a separate “favorites” album for easy ordering. I love that!

I’m also in Canada. I use bonusprint.com

Prices are good (especially for larger sizes). Variety of sizes is good.

I think it’s down to 14 cents each at this point.

We’re looking at being overseas in a year and 1/2, so I was asking another missionary about having stuff sent over. She said it was cheaper to have someone in U.S. send it over to you (rather than order directly from say amazon.com). Is there someone in the U.S. who could ship a photo order to you in Canada? Maybe while you’re doing “catch-up”?

Just a thought,
Jennifer

P.S. I’ve also been in tears (or close) over trying to upload! It’s VERY frustrating.
