Traditions are the core of a family. They are the things we do together to commemorate a moment or event. Whether it is opening gifts on Christmas morning, or having our favorite birthday breakfast, traditions are the things we look forward to with our loved ones. Photos tell the incredible tales of our traditions. Printing a photo makes it a part of history, a real and tangible representation of our unique family. That is why we love helping you create amazing photo books, hoping they will become a part of your traditions too.

Making Mixbook Part of Your Family Traditions: Becky S. from Bedford, OH

Mixbook Tells Your Stories for Years to Come

Every photo book we help create is special and one of a kind. We want you to love your Mixbook so much that flipping through it becomes a part of your traditions. Open your Christmas gifts, then flip through your photo books. Eat your favorite birthday breakfast while flipping through your Mixbook. Sunday Funday at home with the family, bring on the Mixbook. You get the idea. Your photo books are a representation of the important moments in your life, reminding you about the things that are truly important.

My Mixbook Story: Becky S. from Bedford, OH

Why do you create photo books?

"I started out making them as gifts but ended up loving them so much that I decided to make one for home every year."

We are aware of how highly addictive making a Mixbook can be. Once you get started and see how easy it is to put together a fun creative photo book, the ideas start rushing in. It is hard to think of a better gift, even for yourself than a personalized photo book telling your incredible stories.

Why are photo books important to you?

"They are a great way to look back at the year and all the things we did, all the family events. My parents love getting one for Christmas every year."

Photo books are a great way to catalog the important moments in your life and the lives of the people closest to you. They are constant reminders of great times, important lessons, and defining experiences. Mixbook lets you share the joy of those photos and stories with those closest to you.

How do you feel when you flip through your photo book?

"It makes me so happy to look back at all the fun times we have had. I just love it. Plus, I'm a photo fanatic so I have a pretty large surplus of photos to choose from."

No one ever really wants to see pictures of bad times (although sometimes that is necessary). Most often, people reach for the things that bring them joy and happiness. The moments that make them smile time and time again. That is what makes a photo book the perfect mood lifter. You get to pick all the photos that bring warmth to your heart and tell their stories in your own distinctive way.

What is your favorite feature or tool when using the Mixbook Editor? How does it help you express your creativity?

"My favorite Mixbook Editor feature is how easy it is to arrange the pictures and change the shapes and sizes. I am pretty creative. I love using different words and fonts to express the overall feeling on the page. You can do so much with fonts!"

As Becky can tell you, just about every single part of your Mixbook is fully customizable. We want you to bring as much creativity to your photo book as you want to. You can start with a blank slate or choose a theme to get you started. Each page is yours to make your own version of perfect, and if you get stuck, we are always here to help! Don't wait, start creating your Mixbook today!
