My personal experience: I bought this Picaboo offer the last time it was on Groupon to capture our Spring vacation memories (so glad to see it roll back around!). It is a GREAT deal for those of us who aren’t traditional scrapbookers. I love Picaboo’s coffee table quality products, easy layout designs, and the simplicity of using picture books to organize my photos.
I especially LOVE today’s Groupon price!
————————————————————-
Just in time to preserve your summer and back-to-school photos and memories, Picaboo and Groupon have launched a great “side-bar” savings offer of 65% OFF the regular price of any photo books, calendars and collage posters from Picaboo!
