Swoop Scoop

You've at least thought it before: Your adventures would make quite the compelling story. Between that crazy weekend in Vegas (what happens there doesn’t always stay there) and those times your love life rivaled a Nicholas Sparks novel, it's surprising you don't have a best-selling book out yet. Publish your own story, in pictures, with today's Swoop: $18 for $40 worth of photo books from SmileBooks.

Perfect for a unique Valentine's Day gift, SmileBooks’ professional-quality albums give your loved one the ultimate reminder of the life you share. Create your own photo book by downloading SmileBooks’ easy-to-use software and letting your artistic eye work its magic as you arrange photos and text, with more than 1,000 design combinations at your disposal. For an even easier approach, use SmileBooks' online design program, which takes you through quick steps to select your layout and photos. If you want a book that could rival any bestseller, have a professional designer create one using your photos and creative insight. You’ll be able to review the album as many times as you want until it’s just the way you envision it. While prices vary depending on the size, cover, binding and number of pages (the first 26 are included), pocket booklets start at just $9.95, soft cover albums at $19.95 and hard cover albums at $27.95.
