Starting Shutterfly Yearbooks Now

Now that school has started, I need to start collecting drawings, photos and ideas to put in the kids' yearbook. I store all our photos on Shutterfly so I use them for all my photo albums. Since I homeschool, I'm totally going to take advantage of their yearbooks. We do a family photo album every year at Christmas, but I like the idea of also doing a yearbook for each kid that will be just about them and their accomplishments.

If you've never seen Shutterfly yearbooks, they have beautifully designed pages perfect for a school theme (says the picky designer). And the editing software is so easy to use and very flexible, which is a big deal.

We're only a few weeks into school and we've already gone on our first field trip, the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. Isaac drew a picture and wrote a poem about it. Reece has been pretending with our tickets we brought home. She wants to hand them out and check people into the aquarium. And ofcourse, the photos tell great stories too.  The below picture looks like the shark is looking right at Silas. This trip will definitely be going in their yearbooks.

Yearbooks now available on Shutterfly

There are great photo books now available at Shutterfly, yearbooks! Isaac's charter school does a yearbook each year, but we don't want to buy an entire book of all the kids from K-6 with only one page of our son. So with Shutterfly, I can order a yearbook that is just of our son's year.  Which is perfect for homeschoolers like us or any school. I can capture all the fun things we did during the school year and even include photos of his work. They have some great backgrounds perfect for school themes. Check them out here. This is a great way to preserve his school work without keeping piles of paper around. And believe me, I  have PILES of Isaac's artwork I need to put into digital format so I don't have them all over the house.

Some ideas I'm thinking of to fill the yearbook are: photos of science projects, art projects, poems or stories he's written, photos of field trips, holiday celebrations, his friends, teachers, Dr. visits, and other details like how tall he was or what his favorite book was.

This is also a great idea for any group that wants a way to keep memories of an event or of the whole year, sports groups, play groups, moms groups, etc. They give group discounts so the yearbooks could be as low as $5 and arrive within 3 weeks. Very cool.
