c-challah
d-daven
e?

g-gelt
h-havdalah (will fake a picture later when it is dark)
I?
j?
K kiddush (I will take a picture of our bechors)
L?
M-menorah
n-nairos shabbos kadosh (I just realized it is in the wrong order. embarrassed )
o?
p-purim
q?
r? rest?
s-silly, serious, swinging, sweet (I have a few pix)
t?
u?
v?
w?

That is so awesome.

I just did one for my father and father in law of my daughter's wedding. I'm doing wedding albums this way rather than spending HUNDREDS of dollars on photographer albums.

I also did one for my granddaughter (on mypublisher.com) showing "baby signs" her mother has taught her, personalized it with pictures from her life.

I also thought of an alef beis book, or an ABC.

Yes! Please do! I have to see if I have an esrog picture any where. I have one of me with the Rebbe! I have to scan it!!! Oh, this is so exciting. I can't believe I only have two more days to pull this off.

We took some havdalah pictures.

Last year Dogster & Catser had a promotion that if you signed up for them you would get a free album. I got a beautiful leather one. I love Shutterfly! I think they do an awesome job. No affiliation with them.

Yeah, I also have a free book there. It's great! Shutterfly is one of the more expensive photo sites, but they have so many freebies, and are awesome quality. Smile

Just a tip- they have automatic correction on their pics, so if you don't want that, you have to disable it on all of them.
I once ordered a photobook about my son's upsherin and some pics came out really bad. Like when you auto-correct too much. Dark shadows on the face, blotchy skin... They gave me a free book to redo it, and it came out much better.

This time I'm doing "Best Brothers, Best Friends" -all the best photos of both boys together from when the younger one was born until today. Smile

Do you have any of Jerusalem? (J)

I took a picture of a container of milk & honey, figuring Eretz Dvash vCholov for E.

I am moving the picture of my DD kissing her sister to V for V'ahavta lerai'acha.

For U, I was thinking Upsherin. I just have to find some of the older pictures of the boys upsherin.

Does Ohel only stand for where the Rebbe was buried, does it refer to any cemetery? Ironically, my son was also buried in Sir Moses Montifore Cemetery.

My 5 year old suggested I take a picture of her (stuffed) Torah for T. How cute is that??

Then of course, as we were singing modeh ani this morning, I thought, Gee, wouldn't it be cute to make a siddur with pictures of my DD? Maybe for next time.

To get a free book, you need to sign up for a shutterfly account, and buy stuff once in a while. there is a site called slickdeals.net that has a shutterfly thread. They list when there are promotions and stuff. I believe I have enough pamper points to get a free book too. There are a lot of ways to get a free book, and every once in a while, Shutterfly sends out free things. I have gotten 11x15 posters, collages, free prints, etc. Actually, I have two accounts. My DD has two accounts (I don't know why she signed up with two), and my other DD signed up for an account. I ended up with two because I signed up once for my in-laws, and they had signed up on their own. So I just kept the second one for me.

I like the V'ahavta for V. Smile
You're not really going to get anything for X... maybe "We always want to do Xtra mitzvos..." What

To turn it off in your albums, click Enhance on one of the pics. On the page where you can crop, on the left side you should click on remove auto correction for this photo. after you do that, choose "apply this effect to other pictures in this album."

But once you imported them to your book, you have to do it individually in there.
I forgot how it goes- click or right click on the picture so the menu pops up (to crop, center, rotate it.) I think there will be an option there to remove auto-correct. But you have to do it to every pic individually.

Do you have an Israeli flag yesha?

I took out all the pictures by S, and will take a picture of seforim! Isn't that better?
