I made a free book when you mentioned this last time. It turned out beautiful even though I did it on the last day in a few hours. For some reason it was difficult for me just to get the book started, but once I was on the right track it went very smoothly. It took more time just trying to find the right photos for the book.

Thanks for letting us know of that great deal, I look forward to making another one! I would like to make a cookbook of my very favorites.

I also made a free book when you mentioned it last time. I love it!

I ordered my book and I am really pleased with it overall. It took me a few minutes to figure out the program but once I did it was easy peasy! The hardest part was designing it with the large assortment of backgrounds and page layouts. It literally took me like 9 hours, but I loved it. The shipping was super fast, I only wish I could have made more!

I also made a book from Picaboo, after seeing it on your web site. I was really pleased with it, I was surprised to see that even the leather and alligator print leather were free and well. I made mine with the alligator leather and it turned out great. It will be a great gift for a close friend of mine. Thanks for posting this great deal.

I used the code to make a ABC quiet book for my daughter to use during church. I was impressed at the quality of the photos and love that I could upload my own so easily and quickly. It took me a total of 2 hours start to finish!

I so appreciate you telling us about the free book, because I have been wanting to make a Picaboo book for 2 years now! I just never had the time, because I'd start a book and get only a couple pages into then a coupon would expire so I gave up. But being that this book was FREE I started really working on it for a couple weeks, then stayed late after work for a few hours to finish it!

Guess what my book was? It was of my wedding day! I have been married 3 years and had not even printed any photos (I know I'm bad - digital pictures are so tempting to just keep on the computer!) So I now have a professional beautiful book of my wedding day. I surprised my husband with it and he loved it! He couldn't believe what a good job I had done (thanks to Picaboo!) I made all my own backgrounds out of pictures of my dress, our hands, the Temple where we were married, etc. so it was completely customized and personal.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH DISCOUNT QUEENS!!!!

(I would love to make a book of my honeymoon *hint *hint!)

I saw this on your site and was tickled pink. I spent many evenings building each page. I crammed our wedding, our pregnancy and the birth of our little one into this book. It was B-A-utiful! Thanks~

I downloaded about 100 pictures and somehow they all disappeared so I had to do it all again. Bummer!

Lindsey Lu said...

I made a pic book from picaboo and was impressed with the process. It was easy to use and there were a lot of fun page options. I made a book w/ pics of DH & I and it turned out SO good :) thanks for posting!

I tried this site out for the first time through Krazy Coupon Lady. I usually use snap fish, but decided to give this a try since it was free! I is amazing. I made my baby (well, actually three year old) his first ABC book using pictures of him and other family members. The quality was amazing and the choice of backgrounds made each page unique. Definitely using it again...even if at full price! :)

Alissa said...

I love my book I made-I've done snapfish before and it was great but, Picaboo's book is higher quality. I loved the background options- it was almost like digital scrapbooking.It was very user friendly and I was very impressed! I will definately use it again...

carolyne said...

yes! i made a beautiful book. stayed up til 11pm doing so (started at 12:30). overdosed on coffee, no really! in the end i got a beautiful book and another for the grandparents, would love the opportunity to make another!

Shannon said...

I can't complain too much about the book I ordered considering I only paid shipping/handling. I wasn't all that impressed with the quality of the photos. The idea and concept was good, I'm just glad I didn't spend the original $40.00...I would have been upset. Anyone else have poor quality photos printed out? I was using an SLR camera also....so I'm a little surprised. Oh well..

I made a book for my husband for his birthday! It came super fast and was great quality. The only thing I didn't like was trying to choose from all of my pictures to fill the 20 pages!

Nikki said...

My book turned out beautiful! I was so impressed with the quality and all of the options for layouts and backgrounds! I also stayed up late trying to get it finished. I had trouble downloading it but customer service was so helpful and let me download it the next day and still gave it to me for free!

I found the post, and I made a free book for my Mother in law for her birthday. Since she lives in another state, we put pictures of us and her grandkids since she doesnt get to see us often. We didnt tell her what we did, and had it shipped to her instead of us. She ABSOLUTELY loves it and says she looks through it everyday!

Heather said...

I ordered a book from picaboo that I heard about from discount queens. I like the book itself, but had a crazy time trying to figure out how it all worked so when I got my book, i had lots of chopped off heads. After submitting I was looking through picaboo and figured out what I had done wrong. Chopped off heads or bodies who cares it was fun creating it. Thanks for the info on the book.

Thanks, Heather Gonzalez

when checking your blog for the 12th time that day (I know....can't tell I'm obsessed right?!) I saw the free book from Picaboo and was soooo excited. My husband and I went through IVF to bring our beautiful daughter into this world. It was such an experience that I started a journal/scrapbook from day one so we could share our story with her one day. Making a book by hand was an adventure all in its own, but it was what I could afford. We just celebrated her 1st birthday and I couldn't think of a better way to hold on to that special day in her life then to take advantage of this offer. The book turned out great, better then I expected. Though it was the first book I had ever made I am hooked. The software was easy to use. I also loved all your ideas about what to make books for. I cant wait to make my baby girl ABC book!
Thank YOU DISCOUNT QUEENS! YOU HAVE BEEN SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO MY FAMILY!

I made an awesome family scrapbook for 2009. It turned out beautiful. The only thing I was disappointed at was that I did not know ahead of time how much each additional page was going to cost. I went over my 20 pages by a lot and pixable and other sites like that were .50 - 1.00 for each additional page, but picaboo was 2.00 for each extra page. Ouch! Oh well. It was worth it.
Thanks for your great site and all your hard work!

SHAMBAUGH WHAT!?!? said...

I taught abroad for two years and traveled a bit afterwards so had soooo many pictures and in need of making the photo books. I normally use Shutterfly, but saw the deal and decided to try it. After using it I have actually bought two more books from Picaboo. I love the layouts and the quality turned out really well!

Korri said...

It was very easy to make the book. I loved the fact that I could do it off my own computer files and not have to download them to a website. The real bonus was that I was able to "share" the book with my mom. She was able to use the same code and ordered the book I made for herself as well...FREE! It has become a brag book, as she is showing all of her friends the most recent photos of her beautiful grandkids. Thanks so much, Discount Queens!!

I used the free book offer to make my 5 year old's baby book. Finally!

Well, I don't know if I can compete with these amazing women who made purposeful books for their children, but I thought I would give it a try. After receiving a free family portrait session from my photographer friend (I traded her some artwork for a photo shoot she was doing for the High School prom) I wanted to put together a book of the photos. However, through her printing company and her extra time, a photo book was going to cost over $150, so when this deal rolled around, I jumped on it right away. I have a high quality photo book of very high quality photographs. Had I paid full price for everything, I would have spent about $490, and in the end, only paid $110 ($100 for the digital photos and $10 for the shipping on Picaboo). Totally worth it, and I have all my pictures on the computer, ready to get other deals on (like the $.99 mouse pad on Vista Prints)! Thanks Discount Queens for all you do!

I LOVED the fast shipping. . .I made it, and it was here that part was great! It was a little confusing at first, but when I got it going it was so much fun! I didn't like that there weren't very many backgrounds. Really like the high quality!

Unknown said...

I made a book after reading the promo on your site. However, I had downloaded an old version of Picaboo that wouldn't actually allow me to "purchase" the book. So I had to download the newest version and start over again. It was a long, frustrating process, but the book looks great!

I LOVED Picaboo. This is the first photo book I have actually completed. I have tried a few other companies, but have been frustrated by their formatting limitations. With Picaboo, I could place pictures wherever on the page I wanted, use as many pictures per page as I desired, and size and crop however I wanted. And, the production and shipping was super fast. I will definitely use Picaboo again! And, I never would have known about it, let alone tried it, if I hadn't read about the free book deal on Discount Queens!

I loved using picaboo. I scrapbooked our Disneyworld 2009 vacation in one and my kids love looking at it. The process was easy and there were enough elements to choose from that I didn't feel like I was reusing a bunch of things. I will definately order from them again. kjofranklin79@yahoo.com

I made my first book with pocaboo after I saw it on your website at the begining of the month... I immediately called my sister to tell her about it! She had just come back from a cruise & had a TON of pics. I told her to pick out her favorite ones & put it in a book! I worked on mine during the day of the last day they were due, even though I was aware of the deal at the begining of the month.... I'm a SuPeR BuSy mom (aren't we all!& waited 'till the last min. just like I am know... posting this. Anyways, I was able to help my sister with hers over the phone! Now that my mom has seen these books my sister & I want to put a BIG one together for her... during the year 2006 her bro. (my uncle) passed away of cancer & then my mom's father past away a few months after that & then her mom a few months after that & then my father's father past away four months after that.... Yes, it was a CraZY sad year, but she has all these photos & doesn't know what to do with them! I would LoVe to put together a photo book for her from Picaboo that I KNOW she will Cherish FoReVeR & look through it with GreaT appreciation & LoVe! This is my plan for her & my dad for a Christmas Gift this year, the $50 gift card would help out a TON with all the pictures that were taken that Year that none of "Us" will ever forget.
Thanks for all your hard work that you LaDieS do on this blog!! I appreciate the time you put into it, just like I know customers appreciate my time on mine! :o)

Thanks again!
