Photo books are an ideal way to put together something really meaningful to the recipient. The best part is that the finished product turns out beautiful no matter how great your crafting skills are. (Not having to spend a fortune on embellishment products or hours cropping photos and gluing on frames doesn’t hurt either.) There are a wide range of books out there; you can do all of the formating yourself or you can find books that just need your pictures and thoughts to fill in a template. I like Cherish Bound’s designer books to do just that. It is far less intimidating than a bank page and they have a ton of darling themes.
Cherish Bound is has very kindly provided a Top Ten book and a Mini Story Starter (over $60 retail value) to one of you to get your gift-giving started. I love this book! It is super clever and only takes about 30 minutes to put together. So start thinking, maybe The Top 10 Things About Being Your Child or Top Ten Reasons Mrs. Foulke is the Best Teacher Ever or just a Megan’s 2010 Top Ten with fun little facts about your child from this year; I would love to make a Top Ten Moments from 2010 with pictures from our favorite family events this year and then give it to several family members. Anything you choose is sure to be an instant keepsake.

ooh. I love those kinds of books. I haven’t checked out Cherish Bound. I will do so!
I would totally do a top ten reasons why each child makes me happy. I would also get the little girl book starter for my sister in law who adopted a baby last week. What a great giveaway:)
I’d probably do top ten things about our new baby Jack!
I’d do a top ten reasons why my kids have such a great Dad or a top ten reasons why I love Keersten Jensen so much (ali is shamelessly brown nosing)
I have no idea, but this would be a great gift for my niece and nephews.
I would do a top ten book our favorite things Brody does!
[...] is pre-designed and easy to use so you can make a fantastic gift in about 30 minutes. Keersten, at LeapintoArt.com is hosting a giveaway [...]
The top 10 things I love about my top 10 favorite people (Of course the top 10 favorites are my grandchildren!). I have new pictures of all of them, and there I have plenty of special things I love about each one. Hmmm…I suppose I’d have to end up getting 10 books then too, huh?
My TOP TEN book would just have to be about the Terrific TOP TEN Places I’ve Traveled. I’ve met so many people in so many places, and taken some incredible pictures. I need to make permanent record and keep it on my desk at work (since they’ve paid for most of my travel!).
I teach elementary school; this is my 10th year, so it would be fun to make a book about the top 10 things I’ve loved about being a teacher (of course I have pictures of children all along the way that I could add).
I would do a top 10 of the funny things my primary kids say starting with Fletcher when he says “straight up” before any sentence. I am surprised he has not used it in his prayer yet.
This past year our family took up chicken keeping in our back yard … and then found out that keeping chickens was illegal in our city … while on the news … and then helped change the law to allow hens to be kept within city limits. All while my eldest is out of the country serving an LDS mission. I would write a TOP TEN reasons our family started in on this craze and use it to alert my son that there will be some new roommates when he gets home
I would do a book about the top 10 best things about having a sister. I love my sister and my sweet girl now has a sister!
I think maybe I would make a Top Ten book about our Top Ten Romantic Getaway memories or maybe just about my Top Ten favorite family – my 8 kids, 1 step-daughter and 1 magnificent husband.
