Pictures and more pictures.
I certainly pass on the job mojo to whomever needs it next - sounds like Jill is up first on Tuesday!
What a great weekend - and still one more day to go! WHOO for long weekends!
Here's my current desktop image. This was the view from our room at Arenal volcano. The resort was Lost Igauana. Our room was great, the resort itself was a little too "swim-up bar in the pool" for us.
Jim and I have managed to put together our 100 pictures from the wedding and honeymoon to print up ourselves, parents, and for our reception album. We also selected our favorite five pictures to mail out with our announcements and to hand out to guests at the reception.
We're thinking of just including two with each annoucement and then having a selection at the reception. We went to Costco this evening and ordered them all (at one of those digital self-serve Kiosks) for .18cents each!! WHOO again! This is one we're giving out.
We actually have 50 photos from the wedding printed up from our photographer, but here's the kicker - he does his in 5x7s rather than the smallest version 4x6. Nice to have the bigger photos except that the price for us to print off at that size is a fair bit more so to top off the already printed 50 with another 50 is a little pricey. Not to mention we're having a heck of a time finding a nice (er, and well priced) album to put them in. Most albums are either 4x6 or scrapbooking types (meh) for $35 and upwards.
Blah blah blah. All in all, it is cheaper for us to make a whole album for ourselves of 100 4x6 pics than to top up our photographer pictures to make 100. Weird.
But whatever, the 50 pics were kinda a bonus with the package. We might just slowly give away the 5x7s to strangers or grocery clerks or something.

I love tht photo of the two of you with the HUGE sky! Absolutely gorgeous.

You could start leaving them as tips. I'm sure the waiters/haridressers/barmen/etc would appreciate it much more than money! ;)
I converted to 7x5 a while back, and now, 6x4 seems so small.
I think I've got photo printing sussed - every other time I go to Jessops, they seem to mess up my order/it's late. And so then they redo the order properly/get it done finally, with no extra cost of course, AND I often get free developing!
Last time, they did 3 enlargements (8x10) matt instead of glossy. Total cost £2.97, they redid them (I forgot to collect them though), and gave me £7 in printing and devloping! That's over double the cost of the original order!
Makes things a lot cheaper for me ;-)
I love 5x7s. They frame up much nicer than smaller pictures. As far as book presentation, do you remember my wedding album, the one that was wood collage frame cover? Two 5x7s fit perfectly side by side in each sleeve. Go find one of them!
