Christmas Photo Album Time -- Blurb Bookmaker vs. MyPublisher vs. iPhoto???

[JuniperMama]

I make a photo album each year for my parents and inlaws that sort of recaps the year. Blurb.com has fabulous prices but I can't seem to get the hang of laying out the book. I've used MyPublisher.com and iPhoto books before and have been very happy. They're just more expensive and I was hoping to save a bit of cash.

Who do you use to make your digital photo albums? Has anyone used Blurb? Am I just being dense?

Thanks!

iPhoto is hands down the winner according to the grandparents. We gave photo books to them last year using them. When my mom shared hers with relatives and her club, her friends all remarked that the quality was above and beyond what they got with Shutterfly and the like.

Another place to check out is MPix.com. They target the wedding photographer market so their quality is rather high.

(Dh and I use them on the rare occasions we get freelance gigs. We're "retired" pros).
