My Daughter’s Gift - Album of Italy/Greece Trip

Postby monik7 » Mon Dec 26, 2022 9:01 pm

My daughter Shannon gave me a wonderful gift for Christmas. She took more than 1,500 photos during our 2 1/2 week trip to Italy and Greece in October. She waded through all and narrowed them down to about 500. Then she got the number down to about 350. After that she worked on arranging them to fit chronologically on pages in an album. Then working with a company, she sent the photos to them where they reproduced each photo and page onto stiff card stock and bound them all into a beautiful album. I can’t imagine the time it took Shannon to put all 350+ photos together. I’m including just a few of the pictures to give you an idea of how wonderful it is and how thankful I am. I especially like that each page containing the printed photos is stiff card stock so they will survive the many times I’ll be looking at them. I should note that the slight glare and blur occasionally on these pics are there because I used my phone to take pics of the album under my kitchen light so I could post here. They’re very sharp and clear in the album.
