Hi.
I've recently been introduced to Chatbooks. A album printing service that wants to help busy moms get their photos out of digital land and into our hands in the form of mini albums. I was so intrigued and I take too many photos that sit on my hard drive so I got 2 albums coming ..
120 photos sitting in the digiuniverse that I'll get to have in albums now. I'm also thinking of using it for some of my non-journaled or artistic scrapbook layouts. The ones that don't have a lot to read that maybe I used for creative release since the albums are 5x5
The albums are ONLY $8. I figured I'd get two because well, you can't beat that price, all the reviews I've seen on Youtube people are really loving them.
If anyone wants to try them out,
They gave me a code so that you can get your first album/book for FREE!!!!!!
Just follow the link!!! 
Have you received the albums yet? Just curious what you thought...
Hi Shawna. I haven't yet. They should be coming soon. So far, all the reviews on Youtube I've seen, ppl are loving the quality. I figure even if it's not the best, at $8 you can't beat it.
Never heard of Chatbooks. Thanks for the info, and would love to know what you think of them after you get them.
Sure thing. I'm watching my mail excitedly every day now.
But I mean, trying something out for free (FREE SHIPPING TOO) is pretty awesome for anyone. Go try it!!!
I heard of it, sounds pretty good. I downloaded the app, but haven't even opened it yet and looked at it. I'd love to hear what you think when you get your books!!
I'll definitely post when I receive them. But for free, you can't beat trying it yourself.
I wish I would have upgraded my free shipping though, since it's taking a little while to come. lol
There's still time to grab your FREE Chatbooks album. No shipping charges either. Completely FREE.
I got my first two albums in the mail today and will be doing my official review on Youtube soon. But until then, I will say, I am going to continue using this service. I'll be getting my next two albums done SOON!!!!
Here's what they look like.

Many of my photos were OLD. I mean from using those old flip phone cameras and the old digital cameras you could get a Walmart for like $20. And these albums make them look pretty good. I think any newer smart phone photos are going to look AWESOME!!!! I'll be using this again!!!!
If you want to go ahead and try it out before the link expires in a few days, you should!!!

It sounds like they're a little like brag books only a different size?
They are 6x6 and yes they call them mini albums. I love them!
Okay so I can now come back after having received a few volumes of my own Chatbooks.
I am 100% impressed and satisfied. I love that I can finally get lots of my photos off my hard drive and into albums. Many of the photos I chose are ones that I'm not going to scrap. But I also got some scrapbook layouts done too. I decided that for all my "pretty" layouts. The ones where I may not have a lot of journaling if any at all, I would get them in these 6x6 mini albums. Just to get them out and into my hands. There's really no need for me to have pages upon pages of layouts that I did for a challenge, or whatever reason that have no story to them in a big 12x12 or even 10x10 album that are so expensive to get printed. I don't get to print those expensive albums often so I want to make every page count.
My layouts in these 6x6 albums, look so awesome. I mean, the colors are true to what I was seeing on my monitor and they are crisp and clean. No pixelation. Even layouts that had a few photos on them, I can see the photos clearly. Most of my journaling on these consists of maybe a date and place some have nothing, just a title.
I know this is the normal thing for a digiscrapper. We want those big huge albums, but for me, this will work perfectly for layouts like this, and the price point of $8 is not even breaking my bank. Now I can scrap to my hearts content knowing that my story filled pages can go in the bigger albums and for sake of getting things printed I can get these little cute albums.
They are very sturdy and I won't have to worry about my kids looking through them either!!
Seriously, if you were even thinking about this after seeing my original post, try it. You will get your first book ABSOLUTELY free. No shipping unless you choose the expedited one.
Anyway, if you have questions, ask away. I'll try to take some photos tomorrow.
