On Christmas Eve, one of my sisters-in-law was telling me how terrible it is that she still hasn't put her now-grown sons' pictures into albums. I had to laugh, because I would love to have that problem. I told her that most of the pictures I've taken over the last few years are still on my computer, sitting ducks to be wiped out by a malicious virus. I would be perfectly happy if they were printed out and "safe" in some of those photo storage boxes. How time flies...and how things change.

I'll make myself get them uploaded, at the very least, to my favorite online photo storage site: Snapfish.com. I've used Snapfish for 5 or 6 years now and am very happy with their service. The cool thing about Snapfish is that they give you unlimited photo storage, and will also print out and mail your pictures to you at a very good rate. (It used to be 12 cents per print, but they have just dropped it to 9 cents.) Or, and I love this, you can choose to have them printed out at a Walgreen's near you. I did that this year with our Christmas photo cards.

Now's a great time to be a new Snapfish.com customer. All new orders will receive 50 free prints if placed by January 3. Lucky you! I got 20 free prints when I signed up way back when, but 50??? Don't pass up this one!
