Photobox Valentine's - Our story in pictures

Photobox recently contacted me and asked if I would like to be part of their Valentine's blogger photo challenge. Of course I jumped at the chance. Photos around the house are to be miles better than wall paper. I can walk around and smile at every memory! Photobox very kindly asked me to choose from their products and tell our story to you through the photos.

Preferably you want a green face but I loved this
photo too much!

Photobox are a truly fabulous photo company. I’ve used them since I think they first came on the market. Mainly because they let you know if the photos clear enough to come out well which in the days of most of my photos being on the phone is fabulous! No money wasted on a blurry not clear picture. So don’t worry you still have time to select one of their fabulous products and receive it in time for Valentine’s day. If you can’t decide can I just point out they also make a fabulous gift for mother’s day as well!

 We have a long mantel piece which I have been desperate to fill up with much loved photos since we moved but my youngest is a slight horror and takes everything down about 50 times a day. I couldn’t see precious glass lasting very long up there. So Photoboxs offer came at a fabulous time. One of the products I’ve been wishing to try out is their Acrylic blocks. Available in two sizes they are the perfect solution. So much so that once they had arrived and been put up they have been dropped twice on to the stone hearth and there isn’t a scratch on them! The photos are printed on glossy archive paper and then mounted on a 2cm thick polished acrylic. (RRP: from £19.49)

Since its Valentine’s day we decided to make the mantel tell the story of our relationship from when we met to now! The photos range from our first holiday together, our wedding, the boys and all of us as a family. Every time I look up now, light a fire, go to leave the room they catch my eye and cause me involuntary to smile. What a wonderful gift and objects to have around the home or to share with relatives. Because they are the photo only and no frame personally I think they make one of the best gifts going! No need to tie yourself down to a frame which looks out of place…
