Today’s sponsor giveaway is from Lulu.com…an amazing printing and photo book company. And when I say amazing, I am far from exaggerating. You all know how much I love my photo books. When I received my Lulu made book in the mail, I was ecstatic. The book is absolutely stunning…and well, one of you lucky readers are going to win one as well! 
I decided to make a photo book for my mom. She is over the moon about being a grandma this year so I thought it would be extra special to make her an official grandma brag book {with of course, me and the hubby squeezed in as well!}. I compiled pictures from the last year {some old camera, some new DSLR camera—both came out in excellent quality} and made up a little story…
So let me tell you a little bit more about these Lulu photo books:
- The online software is super easy to use {for you newbies} with premade layouts but also has the capability for you to design your own layout {like what I did}. Plus everything is stored online not taking up a ton of room on your hard drive {just remember to save…something I have forgotten multiple times!}.
- The paper quality is fantastic! I was truly impressed. With the many hands that are going to look through this book, the pages are going to stay together.
- The color and photo quality are bright and clear. This is the first book where I got to see full bleed of our pictures from my new camera. And let me just say…amazing!!!
- Many cover options…I truly prefer being able to have a photo and text on hard cover…seems so professional and coffee table worthy…and not all companies provide this.
- Many size and page number options. I do not like to be limited to a certain size or a certain amount of page numbers. With Lulu you get to make the book you want.
As you can see, I am highly impressed. And this is not an understatement. Lulu has won me over.
And lucky for you…one of you gets to experience the wonderfulness of Lulu photo books as well! A free photo book from Lulu to one lucky reader!

Oh, I LOVE photo books!!! Yours is fab. I made one last year of our Disney Mediterranean Cruise and adore it. Indy loves to look at it. I even made my mom a smaller version.
What would I make this year? Easy! Han Solo is due in April (though he keeps trying to come out now!), so I would LOVE to make my mom a book of photos of both my boys. I'm an only child, so my boys are her only grandchildren. She would take the book EVERYWHERE!
Honestly these are such great pictures! I am sure your mom was SO excited!
I would do one of my kiddos of course ;)
Speaking of pictures I really need to go through some of mine...
Love your photo book!! So cute! I have wanted to make one for a while but haven't had the time!!
I would definitely make one about me and the mister...it would be so cute!!
I'm sure your mom Loved her book & will treasure it!!
My dad just celebrated his 70th birthday - I'd love to make him a book : )
Awesome Giveaway, Ashley!! I'd make a family photo album highlighting 2010...the best photos from each month and holiday. Crossing my fingers!
Oh boy, oh boy....I am in the middle of putting together Lily's birth and hospital stay pictures into a Lulu book (finally!), I would love to win the giveaway :D Thanks for the discount...I am also planning on making a book for Lily's First Year and Lily's First Birthday Party, so you just encouraged me to get them done by March 31st!
Your photo book turned out so cute. I would love to make one of these of my granddaughter. I haven't made any photo albums/books since she was born. She is 14 months. Shame on me! :)
We are taking our engagement photos next week and I would love to make a photo book for us to keep on our coffee table. Thanks for the opportunity!
I've been wanting to make one of these forever. I would finally make a 2010 album of our family.
Scrapbooking is taking way too long.
I think I would make my mom a "grandma's brag book" too! I've been putting it off for so long. Thanks for the opportunity! I love how your book turned out, your hubby's face in the bear thing literally had me rolling, you're so cute together!!
splishsc{at}gmail if my addy doesn't show up..
I have never made a photo book but you are inspiring me......I would have to make one of my son and his many adventures.
Your blog continues to inspire me, and I have always been hesitant about photo books...but the books you have made really do look professional!! I am getting married in May, and I would of course do a book of our adventures together thus far :)
This is great! Our first baby is due in 2 months so I'd probably wait and make a baby book once he arrives!

hmmm...with my photo book, i would either devote it to the first year of my baby, or compile photos and stories for my in-laws about their children's families. we don't all get together very often, so this would be a way to have us all together per se...in one book. :)
I love photobooks and have been trying to plan out my little guys 1 year photobook in my head for a while now (even though he is 6 months old..haha) but I would do a one year book of him and his life.
I would make a memory photo book of the story of my wonderful year with the love of my life! And the story will start with how we met at the Def Leppard concert! We were meant for a photo book!! Thanks for the opportunity! I love your blog!
I would make a memory book of my mom and dad. They both are in heaven now but I think about them each and every day and how much they are missed. Looking at your album, I just wish we could of had more time together. They were grand-parents too and so loved their grand-kids to no end. Actually they now have a great grandson and great grand daughter from my oldest brother's kids. I know they would have been so happy to meet them. Thanks for the opportunity! I love your website and reading about your adventures in life.
I love photobooks! I just recently made my first and am addicted! I would love to put together one from our pictures of the last year.
I would probably make a book for my mom of my wedding. I made one for myself at another website, but I love the look of yours.
I would love to make a photo book our our new puppy Molly. She is growing so fast and I have more photos of her than I know what to do with!!
I want to do a photobook for my guest book for my wedding this year!

This is great! What a wonderful gift for your mom! If I won a book I would make a book of our 2010. I want my baby boy to be able to go back and look at the photos from his first year of life in print instead of solely on the computer. Kelly
Ohhhh!! Lovely!! I'd do a book from the second half of 2010 (I already did the first half). Love photo books!!
Since I'm expecting my second baby next month, I'd like to make a photo book of pictures of my two-year-old with his new brother or sister.

Oh! Your book made me teary, what a special year, you all had. I could make a 'baby' book for one of my three however what interests me most is recording our homeschooling journey...that would be a sweet record of our learnings. ~C

I would make a book for our twins - of their first year... or second year.... They are 2 and a half and I am SO behind in scrapbooking. This would help for sure!
I think I would make one for my mom of her grandkids.. My son is 10 and my nephew joined us this past October. Pictures of the two of them would make her day.
I posted about this on Facebook!
