Multiply (review/giveaway)

I love the pictures I take of my kids. I love sharing them with everyone, including all of you who read my blog daily, as you can tell I take a TON of pictures! I usually upload to Photobucket, but now I'm going to be using Multiply for my personal pictures since I just found out they have the HTML, link and other stuff to share places like my mommy forum and here where I use a lot of HTML, having the code already made makes it a lot easier on me.

But, that's not all....they have personalized products such as photo books, which is what I had the great opportunity to review! All the pictures we take are digital, we have a point and shoot camera and I have a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex, my awesomeness camera lol) So all of our pictures are on our computers...we hardly ever print them out, much less put them in a photo album or make a scrapbook out of them. With Multiply's Photo Book I was able to create a scrapbook/photo album of sorts without having to print the pictures out, then put them in a book. Click this link Staples Family to check out my book. It was simple to create too! I uploaded the pictures I wanted in the book, then decided how many pictures to put on each page, and which pictures went where, put little captions on some of the pages (if you look close, you can see one or 2 typos/misspellings, that way you know it was me lol) I had fun making it, I kept going back and forth of which design to use, I did finally decide on the construction paper one.

When I got the Photo Book, I was surprised at the quality, the front and back were hard cover, I loved seeing the picture of my 3 kids right there...they are the stars of the book. The pages were thick and glossy, the pictures looked perfect! I love how on the binding it has the name of my book, and I was even able to put a picture on the back of the book, sort of my dedication of my book with a picture of me and all 3 kids. Jeffery and Jaylin love to look at the book, they point out who is in each picture, and get excited when they see pictures of Daddy or Pawpaw. Jeffery even says what's happening in the pictures, such as his tball pictures, or the pool pictures. Oh, and oh my god how they fight over the book! I'm surprised the book is still in one piece! They tend to take turns carrying the book everywhere, looking at it in the van, and I've had to make them bring it back in the house when they wanted to take it outside while they play, or on the porch and it's raining! Oh, and if you want to know how durable it is, the other week the kids were fighting over it, and when I told them to both put it down, Jeffery threw it on the floor (we were in the van on the way to Jaylin's birthday party) and the book landed on the edge of Jaylin's birthday cake!!! It wiped clean! Can't tell there was icing on it at all!

If you are thinking its going to take forever to go through and upload the pictures you want, think again! Multiply has a new feature called Auto Uploader, you set the folders you want it to check for picture files in, and it automatically uploads them to your Multiply media locker! Then you can just go through and pick out the pictures you want to use in the photobook, print out, or whatever you want!
