I have been in such a cheerful, twitterpated mood lately. Maybe it’s all of the red and pink taking over the stores, reminding me that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.
I love this time of year, when we pause to reflect upon and celebrate the love in our lives. With Photo Books from the Kodak Gallery, it is easy to display the happy love-filled memories in a treasured gift for family and friends.
This year, forget about the flowers and chocolates and instead present a gift that is personalized, meaningful and just as FUN to create as it is to give.
Kodak Gallery provides two options for creating a Photo Book. The original photo book allows you to do it yourself, managing every creative detail page-by-page, while selecting from over 40 stylish backgrounds and layouts.
There is also the new SmartFit option, perfect for those of us who are short on time.
Kodak Gallery’s SmartFit technology allows you to:
- Import photos from your computer, mobile device, and Facebook
- Choose page themes, write captions and add personal touches
- Adjust to different sized images, and arrange pictures by event or date
In no time at all, you have the perfect gift ready to be packaged and shipped.
Since I am a busy mommy of three, I chose the SmartFit option to quickly create a Valentine’s Day Photo Book to give to the grandparents living out of state.
Are you ready to make your own Photo Book just in time for Valentine’s Day?

My favorite Kodak moment was watching my son wake my daughter up on Christmas morning. I would love to win to document out Christmas!
I would love to make a book of every day Kodak moments! The latest would be sledding with the whole family over the weekend. Lots of excited smiles!
I would love to win this!!! A Kodak moment is my trip back home to WA to visit my family!!! SO many memories from that trip! Thanks!
I’d love to win. I’m not a scrapbooker, but I can do this…and preserve some family memories.
We had tons of Kodak moments over the summer with our grandsons at the lake, camping, playing, etc!

My favorite Kodak moment is watching my daughter play whether its at home or outside. She gets so animated.
I really need to get organized and put a photo book together. My girls are growing so fast! *sniff*.
My Kodak moments are when our family works together in our yard. We love to grow veggies and flowers.
my daughter constantly creates kodak moments!

Photo books are such a nice way to have your pictures developed! No looses pictures floating around for me to forget to put in the albums 🙂 My favorite Kodak moments are the moments that are unexpected and when I get the kids or hubby truly as themselves and not posed. Those are the ones I cherish.
I tweeted it out too – http://twitter.com/JendisJournal/status/29583482426494976
Thanks!
I recently purchased a photobook through Kodak. We are really enjoying it.
I’d love to get some more of my photos off the hard drive and into a book where we can enjoy them.
We finally we able to get together with family last summer – I’d love to make photo books for the grandmas and great-aunts. Lots of photos of board games, eating, and walking by the lake!
a new baby is a Kodak moment.
My favorite moment is when your camera is with you and something truly surprising happens, not planned for, just special. Moments of kids hugging their teddy, or the moment they smile and you realize they just lost a tooth 😉 applying makeup – yese yours and doing their own hair .. not only a moment ..but a future moment when shown at a weddong or graduation.
this year, I’m taking a pic a day and making a digital scrapbook, so we can, at a glance, see our entire year. so this year, I’ve seen 24 Kodak moments so far!
watching my kids do what they do best~ play!
my favorite is watching all the funny faces and actions that my 20 month old does 🙂

I love seeing my kids happy faces while on vacation.
*Every* moment with my kiddos is a Kodak moment!!! Which is probably why I have a zillion pictures of them! But honestly, whether they’re screaming, happy, messy hair, or all dressed up–I know a darling picture is going to come out of it!
My favorite Kodak moment of the year was Thanksgiving when my husband, his uncle, and the kids swung on the giant tractor tire out front on my in-laws farm. It was great watching the excitement and of course taking a pic of my nearly 34 year old husband being pushed by his 40 year old uncle! LOL
I love these! I have given them as gifts to the grandparents… but I want one for me!
Would love to win this….with 7 children I always make a book for them to celebrate their Birthdays…..this would be perfect!!
A favorite Kodak moment was spending time with my Grandma…staying overnight at her house, she always had Eskimo Pies in the freezer and creamed corn in the pantry. She was a fabulous Grandma. http://twitter.com/#!/ibeeeg/status/29528157065322496
I would love to make a photo book of my kids and all their crazy adventures this last year. Specifically our family vacation at the end of the year…that would make one amazing book! Thanks for the chance! 🙂
I was just thinking that I really need to put together a photo album of our 2010 year. Yeah, I am behind. This would be perfect in helping to kick my act into gear. Please enter me into the giveaway.
I can honestly say, a photo book of your family’s special vacation, trip, event or just of the year past is the most cherished and wonderful gift you can give someone.
my favorite kodak moments are when the kids are sleeping – so peaceful and sweet
i would love to win
This would be perfect for this past Christmas photos. My dad came to vist from Calif. and we havent seen him in 3 years, so this was a special year!
Our first photo with our new baby was a Kodak moment!
Oooh! Would love this! One of my New Year’s “intentions” is to get more organized w/my photos and choosing my favorites for seasonal photo books. This would help get on my way!
: )
I would love to win this to make one of these for my parents.
I would love to receive this opportunity. I love Kodak. I grew up in Brockport, NY 20 minutes outside of Rochester. I have many family members who worked for decades for Kodak and were very proud of that. It is ingrained in my head to buy Kodak products. I hope to be considered for receiving this.
i would love this i have some great summer pictures that definately need a home

My brother who lives out of State gave one of these to our mom for Christmas with photos of his kids and she just loved it. I’d love to give one to her with my kids for mother’s day. She’d love it too.
I’d like to make one into somewhat of a baby book for my little girl as I didn’t do one when she was little as we had another little one at the time too.
I love catching the silly things my 3 year old does when he doesn’t know I am there. Captures him at his truest self.
I have two pictures I took of my daughter at 6 months. It was during her last nap in the cradle papa made her. {Here are the pics} She was sleeping and I snapped it only to have her eyes fly open wide-eyed!
I will always remember that day and those pictures!!

My favorite Kodak moment right now would be family evenings at home – playing games, drinking hot chocolate, spending quiet time together after a crazy December.
I have so many favorite Kodak moments. But recently my 2 year old son sat next to his 6 month old sister and started to “read” her one of his books. It’s one of those moments that makes you love being a mom.
My favourite kodak memory is doing a family photo shoot with my new babe & having my toddler ham it up for the camera.
I am about 4 years behind on making an annual album
My favorite Kodak moment with my hubby was seeing the look on his face when he held his baby girl for the first time. It’s something I’ll always cherish! Thanks for the chance to win a photo book; I’d love to make one for our baby girl.
I have a new favorite moment all the time 😎 Currently, my favorite was helping my 5 year old make her first loaf of bread. She had dough to her armpits and flour everywhere! My inlaws live in SE Asia and this photo book would be a wonderful gift to send them as they only get to see the grand daughters every few years.
My favorite moment was when my husband and I took our girls to Disney for the first time and our 9 month old fell asleep against our 2 year old and instead of being a mean sister, she put her arm around her and cuddled. Best. Picture. Ever.
My favorite Kodak moments are when my kiddos are sleeping. They look so adorable 🙂
I also love taking pictures of them playing TOGETHER, it hardly happens lol!
I think a photo book would be the perfect “good-bye” present for Tim’s parents when we head out of town for a year on-the-road. Thanks for the idea!
some of my favorite moment captured on film is cooking as a family
I’ve made a few photo books for family, but I’m thinking the next one I make I’d like to make a story for my son. He loved seeing himself in the books before we shipped them out 🙂
My favorite Kodak moment is sledding with my creative husband who built a sled from scratch. We sled all day long and it is one of my favorite times. 🙂
I tweeted as well: http://twitter.com/#!/LongWait4Bella/statuses/28183226098909185
I’d love to win this. I love to make photo books of all my favorite blog posts and pictures of my toddler.
I love taking photos of my kids when they don’t know it…I can capture the “real” them as opposed to the posed version!
Oh wow, I would love something like this. My fiance lives out of state right now and this would be perfect to fill up with photos of me, the boys and just life up here so that maybe he can feel a bit more a part of it.
Perfect with the new Kodak Easyshare Cameras with one touch button Social networks like Facebook or Flickr or Kodak Gallery access
I would love a photo book. I’d make it and send it to my grandmother. She doesn’t have very many pictures of my kids. My favorite Kodak moments are those of my kids. It’s great to look back and see how much they have frown and matured over the past couple of years.
I love photo books. They are such precious gifts!!
I have so many photos to organize. This would be a huge help!
My Kodak moments are those special moments that aren’t arranged….they just happen 🙂 My children are my world and I have pictures of everything….sports, dancing, church, pictures of them just being who they are. I have made special books using Kodak for each child and they cherish the memories with me. I have also given these as presents. Their grandparents treasure them too. Thanks for the chance to win a special way to cherish our memories 🙂
Ooooh – would love this! I want to make my boys their own photobook of our recent trip to West Africa.
my favorite kodak moment is me and my nanny and she is holding our newborn son- i cherish the pictures with her since she isnt here anymore 🙁

Having twin y year old boys I love taking pictures of them all the time and all of the moments are my favorites. They love photo books so they can look through them and see themselves and talk about what they were doing or who they were with at the time. It is so fun!!
Sorry that was supposed to say 3 year old boys not y year old 🙂 …
My favourite Kodak moment was I was in Maui. My partner and I stood by a wall of mosquitos at the famous Blue Pool…that’s where I was proposed to! Such a beautiful island, such a beautiful memory.
I like how easy these books are to make.

Every picture of my grandkids are my fav Kodak moments
I have a wonderful picture of my Grandmother (in her 90’s) sitting in an area full of wildflowers, fishing with my husband and you can see their reflections in the water. No matter how old I get that willl always be a favorite memeory!
I just tweeted using the #kodakgalleryfan hashtag. I am @canyongirl789
I love photobooks! I have some many trips that need to be scrapbooked, and this would save me so much time!
i would love this-i am way to far behind in scrapbooking to ever get caught up!
My favorite moment was when I gave birth to my son. There’s a picture when I first held him and I look so surprised!
My favorite pics were in the backyard with our girls…the photog took some posed shots, but the best were the ones of them rolling in the grass together and giggling!
I’d love this to go with the cherry picking photo’s i got of the grandkids
This would be an incredible thing to have for when my son gets older. He’s only 21 months and he loves looking at pictures…he would really love a book featuring himself and his family!
My 20 month son got all excited when he saw pictures I had printed of him and his cousins. Unfortunately for him, they were for grandma and grandpa. Ever since I’ve wanted to make him a photo book because I know he would love it.
I want to make a book of my girls together. I never had a sister and it’s so fun for me to watch my two interact!
I would love to win, because of all the adventures I go on with my oldest daughter Cassie. She is a commercial pilot and when her husband can’t meet her places , I do. Here is a small list: Chicago.. so many sites, San Antonio, Texas….the Riverwalk, Lake Louise, Canada…Victoria, British Columbia…stayed in Sydney and commuted, Santa Barbara, California…20 mile bike ride and the wharf and shopping, Georgia… Lakemont retreat and Roosevelt’s retreat, Panama City , Florida…swimming with Dolphins and more, Oregon… Rose Garden and Chinese Gardens, San Fransico, California… Fisherman’s Wharf, China Town, and Wicked at the Orpheum Theatre, and many more. I am a farmers wife, with a daughter that is treating me to a life I have never known. I document many memories with her, but to put it in a book would be phenomenal .
We’re excited to celebrate our son Fenwick’s first birthday next week! We’ve also had a visit to the Doctor today that involved a sling on his arm. He was such a champ and even the scary moments make great memories!!
My fav Kodak moment is the first time my son saw his baby sister. Such a sweet moment I’m so happy I have it.
Oh this is wonderful! My husband and I went on a trip last year that would be so nice to put in one of these books!
My favorite kodak moments are family vacations – so happy and carefree!
I have used KodakGallery for years to share pictures with friends and family. I love their products and would love to win! Thank you!
Oh, I love these books!!
I love any photo I get of all four of my little ones smiling and looking at the camera–rare indeed!
I loved a moment at my 40th birthday party — a photo my brother took of me and a friend who also happened to be my former professor in college, MANY years before. She has been such a mentor for me and turned into a great friend. It was a candid photo, both of us smiling and just a wonderful reminder of a loving friendship I cherish. 🙂
My fave Kodak is when all 4 of my boys are getting along at the same time!!!
I follow you on FB
A favorite kodak moment: When all three kids look nice, are laughing and smiling together and I have a camera on hand to actually catch them liking each other. Those are few and far between, but totally worth keeping.

Oh, Kodak photobooks are my fave! They are great quality – I could use a GC to make one!!
These photo books make such great gifts!
Whoops, forgot to say that my favorite picture is one of the very few I have with the whole family. It was for my younger son’s 8th grade graduation. I LOVE that picture!
I LOVE the KodakGallery books. I make one per year and document our families adventures!!
Oh I’ve been meaning to make a book, this would be great! Thanks for the giveaway!
I do have a question. I won a Barbie set a whille back but I never received it. How do I follow up on this? Thanks!
HI Margaret – We will send an email your way. Hang tight.
One of my favorite moments was last summer with my oldest son! I love taking pictures and do it as a freelance side job so I can make some additional income for the family. We had a beautiful day outside and a tree was inspiring me with the light cascading through it from the other side creating a delicious illuminating shadow. I decided to place my son strategically behind it, and it turned out to be a really cute ‘giving tree’ look to it 🙂
Also, christmas time pics still need to be developed..I’m pregnant with our #4 so it’s making me impossible to take pics for my job right now..so tight budget means little to no developing of my own pics of my own!
I would like this To display all the pictures of my 2 year old special needs son at school in for a keep sake for him.
I love this idea! I would love to make one of these for my daughter’s graduation in the spring! Thanks for the opportunity to win it! 🙂
I would love to make a photo book of our wedding and honeymoon that was 8 years ago!!!! Geez, I’m so far behind!
Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE photobooks, so great for those of us who can’t put anything together for scrapbooks!!
I have so many favorite times of taking pictures with loved ones. I have to say my favorite was just this past Christmas with all of the kids sitting by the fireplace in our new house, after placing cookies for Santa! They were so excited to have a chimeny for him to come down this year!
I would so love to have this. My son Kyle just had his 3rd birthday and somehow I ended up with 106 photo’s. This would be perfect!
I love the Kodak Gallery items. I ordered small books last month for all the aunts and grandparents in my family
