Commemorative Photo Gift for Nong Nooch


Annika

Recommended Posts

Apaandssa- awesome. I just logged onto the email and saw- impressive commentary too!!! As much as , if not more so, than the photos I think those comments of thanks are going to really make it special. I like projects so I volunteered to create this one- there's been a handful of folks who have emailed some photos and comments. Anybody else want to share something please do so soon via email posted in 1st post on this thread. Basicailly the concept is a nice "Thank You" photo book with comments to go along with the photos - something for Kampon himself and if I make on Blurb (as planned) whoever wants can order it. The more the merrier - awesome stuff already sent to the email that I can begin with...

I've been such a slacker with this photo book creation!!! :hmm:

I FINALLY logged into the account I created for people to send pics too. I am in the process of now downloading all the beautiful photos people have sent. Last call- if you have any photos you would like to contribute please send to:

2012biennialphotos@gmail.com

I will put your names next to the photos you sent and if you also included a "message" for the book in the email I will include that too. :)

Good 2013 Greetings to All!

So, I finally got down to business today, downloaded all the photos that people sent me for the commemorative gift book and created it via Shutterfly.

Following this link, you should be able to go ahead and order a copy for yourselves. As the book was a dedication book to Kampon, the front cover has that clearly stated and I have left it at that.

Big Tip that applies ONLY FOR TODAY. If you order the book today, March 26, 2013, you can use the code MYBOOK for big savings!!!! No, I am not working on behalf of Shutterfly, but of course want to share this tip. I believe the book without the discount will run abnout 40 or 50 bucks and with the discount is 20 bucks.

You can order (and preview) the book here:

I just ordered mine with the MYBOOK discount code. It came to $20.74 INCLUDING shipping USD. FYI I didn't see a paypal option, but my credit card worked fine.

Don't miss the chance as it took $29.99 off the regular price. One of a kind and you don't won't to miss it! Thanks Annika!

Annika, thanks a lot for taking this initiative and getting this done! I ordered my book yesterday, and yes, the MYBOOK discount is pretty unbeatable. Dropped the price (including shipping) from $50 to $20! :)

I received another discount offer (from the company that makes this book) for 20% off photobooks. If you are interested, I think it will work for you rather than being specific to me. PM me and you can at least try it.

Not sure if it'll work, but if you want to try it, the following code from Shutterfly claims 40% off on all photobooks: BOOK40. Since I ordered the Biennial book from this company they send me email coupons. I could stop the emails, but have allowed them so I can send discount codes your way for awhile.

I should update here that I recieved my book.. AWESOME! I thought there would be more contributors, but Annika had GREAT pics to choose from! (Somehow I think she made my pics look better than I remember..)

Thanks again to Annika, Cindy and all the other contributors.. Even if you didn't contribute but were there, its a great book to get!
