HP Photosmart Gift Cards

As anynoe who reads at Life, the Universe, and Everything could tell you, I take a lot of pictures. At a recent birthday party, I just let the continuous burst go on my camera. I took 33 pictures in a row of 10 kids. Since they were 5 year olds, only about 2 of them were any good. But I kept them all anyway. Cause even if they weren't all staring at the camera, they were all being themselves, whether it was falling over laughing or sticking a foot in someone else's face. Anyway, I take upwards of 200 pictures in a normal month. but now that it's birthday/holiday season, I'm sure even that will increase.

With all these pictures, you'd think I have bookshelves full of albums. You couldn't be more wrong. My printer sucks. And ink is expensive. In fact, I don't even know for sure if the color cartridge in my printer works right now. The last time I printed pictures was because the day care was doing a unit on pets and they wanted pics of ours for class. So I printed a couple at Walgreens. Which means I have to upload my pictures and wait for them to print them for me*.

But recently MomSelect sent my some gift cards for the HP Photosmart Express station. The Meijer near me had a station (is there one near you? Find out), so off I went to try it out. It is seriously easy to use. I brought mine in on a USB drive and had absolutely no problems. The process was painless and the pictures were clear and great quality. If you're in a hurry and don't have time to wait for the one hour processing, this is a wonderful alternative. But if not, most stores that have the HP printersalso have a partnership with Snapfish and you can even go the online route that way.

So who wants to try it out? I have 10 gift cards good for 10 free 4X6 prints to giveaway to 5 lucky winners (two cards, 20 prints, per person). Leave a comment before Nov 23 midnight central time and you'll be entered. Simple, right? Enjoy.

*which, honestly, I don't mind at all. In the interest of full disclosure, I upload my pictures to Walgreens every month anyway as method of off-site storage. Then I pass out my password to my family, so I don't have to print pictures for anyone ever again. Laziness rules.
