Free Photos


One of my favorite hobbies, when I find the time, is scrapbooking. I started back in high school and love being able to look back and have a visual journal of what I did. Now that I have a child, it's become even more important to me to preserve their memories so I can pass them down as they get older.
While I would never go back to 35 mm, I find it hard to remember to get actual copies of my pictures to put in the scrapbooks, so I pulled together some resources for you. The best way to cut the costs of printing photos is to register for photo sites and get new member free offers. I can say that most all of the pictures I have hard copy of are from these intro offers and I've got about 2 years worth of pictures!

Here are a few of them out there right now and don't forget to use Ebates to get free money when you order. Not familiar with Ebates or you don't have an account yet, use this link for a $5 bonus. Also, many of these online stores are now shipping directly to local stores, so look at what stores are closer to you to save on shipping!
