  3. Krome Photo Book Review

    December 14, 2011 by crystal

    Krome Photos

    I love, love, love photo books! When Krome Photos contacted me about reviewing their new photo book service, I jumped at the chance! This new service is a great idea. For those busy peeps out there that don’t have the time to arrange their own photo books, Krome is willing to do it for you! I can’t believe someone hasn’t already though of this – what a great idea!

    It’s easy to sign up at Krome Photos. They just ask for your info and have you set up an account. From there, the site is easy to navigate. The photos do take a little while to upload. I uploaded about 80 pictures. After about 10 minutes, I got bored and went to bed. I got up a while later to check on it, and they had downloaded just fine. If you don’t feel like going through all of your photos and choosing which ones to upload, there is an option to let the designers choose which photos to use. The next time I create a book, I am definitely going with this option!

    Within 72 hours, the designers at Krome put together my book and emailed me with a preview. It is super cute!  I emailed them asking for one change, which they promptly took care of it for me. The end result is a beautiful, hardcover photo book that took zero effort by this busy momma. They have softcover books, too, if that’s your thing.

    If you’re looking for a last minute gift, or you want to preserve your holiday memories, you really should pop over and check out the photos books at Krome Photos. . . And if you’re feeling lucky, stay tuned. . . I feel a giveaway coming. . .

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars
    As you may have already read, Nature’s Hand recently sent me a couple of packages of Vanilla Almond Granola to review. I decided to ­­try out a couple of the recipes that can be found on the Nature’s Hand website.

    First, I baked Chewy Granola Cookies. Then, I decided to make some Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars. They are AMAZING. I can’t stop eating them, and my husband has already requested another batch so that he can take some into work. (more…)

    I was recently asked by Nature’s Hand to try out some of their granola. The good people at Nature’s Hand sent me two packages of French Vanilla Almond Granola.  That’s a lot of granola! So, I decided to pop over to their website and try out some of Nature’s Hand’s recipes. I tried two recipes, and they were both delicious!
