We have LOVED puzzles over this vacation. I love to sit there and chat with whomever is helping. They are trapped there and have to talk with me! 
Now on to pictures and camera questions - First off my new camera is a Nikon D7000. We had issues with each other at first, BUT I think we are good friends now.
At the end of the year I put up and take care of all the 2010 pictures on my computer so that I can start fresh with 2011. I have a little system that I do for each of my kids and each month during the year. At the end of the year, I print up my favorite pictures to hang on my collage wall and around the house. I even make a 2010 favorites folder. I make sure pictures are backed up on hard drive, online and on disc. Then I order my Blurb books. I finished my blog book using my own template and just ordered it over the weekend. I love the continuity and use of space by using my own template. I will post pictures when it arrives. I now need to finish the kids Blurb books this week. They are really quick to put together because you slurp their folder into Blurb which takes just a couple minutes and then you can arrange pictures around. Last year I gave them their books as a Valentine's gift. It's funny how the kids don't see a lot of "their own" pictures until they get their book.

I love the idea of a Blurb book, I'm going to have to look that up. I love scrapbooking and try to make a book of all big events but I've been following behind. I have also started making video's of the pictures and adding songs. It's been a big hit as I add music and fun captions. I recently started using walgreens photo albums. I made two for Christmas and I hope to get them back soon so I can see how they turned out. Thanks for sharing the ideas and can't wait to see the templates you used for your book.
Love Blurb too!
Can you come organize my pictures ...
I've wanted to do a blurb book for my niece and nephews but didn't have time in 2010...I do have time this year and plan on doing it for Christmas.
I took my favorite pictures of 2010 and added them to a calender I put together for my family.
As you know, I post my pictures to flickr.
Love the blurb book! I'll have to check it out! Hey...do you remember a post about the I spy quilt kit that your friend did for you? I am really interested and was hoping you could email me the info or how I could contact her! I have found some on easy, but none I LOVE! Lmk in all your free time!
We love blurb here too!!! I can't believe you are so quick at putting them together... I only recently finished my 2009 book and that was because my hubs took all our kids on a mini vacation!:) I'm slow!!! Th year for stocking stuffers I did mini monthly calendars and those seemed to be a big hit.
