-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Persnickety Prints is pretty much amazing.  I always got my pictures, cards, etc. printed out locally. They never quiet turned out and were always cropped wrong, but it was all I knew. Then one crazy day I ordered some pictures online from Persnickety and they seriously made my jaw drop when I got them. They use this amazing photo paper that made my pictures look even better then when I submitted them. (Try their metallic paper. It's the coolest thing!) They pay such attention to detail and they are extremely fast and professional. I can't say enough good things about them. I will never get my prints done anywhere else. Check out Persnickety Prints cause they have tons of cute stuff you'll love. Prints, calendars, cards, scrapbooking goodies and tons more.
The winner gets a $50 gift card! (That would be perfect for their Christmas cards cause they are seriously cute!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Lots of bloggers get their blogs printed off yearly. I get many of emails asking which company I recommend to do the printing. I didn't use to have much of an opinion. I've seen some ok companies, but they never really impressed me a ton. Then I saw some books printed by Blurb and couldn't believe it. They're significantly better then any other ones I've seen. And Blurb prints any kind of book. Whether you want to make recipe books, vacation books, family reunion books, biographies...it's obviously endless what you can do. But I choose Blurb because they really are the highest quality I've ever seen at a great price. Love, love, love them.
And they're giving the winner a $250 gift card! That is HUGE!!!

  87. I hope I win... I'm just about finished with my second blog book. I still have two or three more until I'm caught up. After I printed my first one last year, it inspired me to be a more detailed writer so that my babies have real stories to read, instead of just pictures with captions. I LOVE my book and look at it often. I can't wait to order my second one, but a gift card would allow me to do more than one. And with my husband a full time student, and two small kids at home.... the blessings would be HUGE! Thanks so much for offering this giveaway :)
