Well, I blogged yesterday about trudging back and forth to the mailbox to look for my pictures from Snapfish. Color me stupid. The email said UPS not USPS. Duh. 😀 Tim found a small box on the front porch yesterday when he came in from work. Which is doubly weird, because I thought UPS or FedEx was supposed to ring the doorbell when they made a package dropoff. I was home from about 2:30 PM on and never heard the bell ring. Oh well, they’re here now!
We opened up the box and it had 3 paper envelopes stuffed to the gills with my 160 pictures from our DC trip. Tim was very happy with them, but I wasn’t quite as satisfied. Of course, my standards for photos are a lot higher than his. I will say that they are not as vibrant and crisp as I would like, but I think that is because I ordered matte finish and not glossy. Glossy prints are always a lot more colorful to me. I will say that I think they are comparable to the matte photos I have had developed at Walmart and Sam’s Club – which is where I normally get my digital photos printed. But at 12 cents a print (before shipping costs), they are cheaper than either of those places. So I guess I’m satisfied!
The only thing that bugged me about the shipment was that they were totally out of order. I uploaded them in order, and they came in 3 envelopes and all mixed up. Some photos of the Capitol were in each envelope, Mount Vernon pics in different envelopes, that kind of thing. So, it will take me some time to go back through and sort them, and get them back in order – grouped together by day and event. Which I have to do in order to sit down and try to plan out my scrapbook pages. 😀
I’m so glad to hear that you are scrapping again! I would love to spend a little time this weekend scrapping! Have you been to Mike’s lately? I have not. I have not done any scrapbook shopping since a month and a half before Mark’s birthday. I was saving for that. I really want the new Simple Scrapbooks Simple Schemes idea book. It’s only $6.99.
