Book number 1...DONE!

I have a list of projects that I want to do this summer while I have extra time and one of them is catching up on photo books.  I want one done for each year of our marriage (we have 3 years down and 0 books made) until now!

I finished my first book and even better than finishing is how much I spent on it!

Back at our 2nd anniversary I did start our 1st year book but then stopped when I realized the price.  It was going to cost me $80 and I just couldn't do it.  I think the books are less expensive in general now, but even better is they have GROUPONS and Living Social deals for them!

I paid $10 for $50 towards a book with Vistaprint.  This 8x8 book with a hard cover came out to cost $57 and then had $6 shipping. (They also gave me a discount because I was signed into my living social account so the $57 was already 30% off)

For some reason the Living Social code took off the whole book so all I paid was shipping!!

SO, I paid $16.  TOTAL

Now that I have started book #2 I can tell that this Vistaprints program was a lot more simple (had less options) than the one I am using right now.  So the back grounds and layouts are pretty simple and not exciting but who cares.

The same book with this next groupon I have will still cost me $45 even with the deal.  So, its a toss up in my mind.
