Over the past couple of days I have decided to finally print some pictures to put into frames that we got for our wedding over a year ago... I thought it would be a fairly easy process. Pick pictures, order pictures, go pick them up, and put into frames. Turns out it was/is a lot more complex than that. As I sat down to look through our wedding pictures, I realized I had forgotten how STUNNING they are! Our photographer Cecily Cook is AMAZING! Seriously, go check out her stuff. https://www.facebook.com/#!/chaosandblissphotography. Or just search Chaos&Bliss Photography.
After spending a couple hours drooling over our pictures, I finally got is narrowed down to like 20 that I was considering putting in my frame that holds 7 photos. I’m a visual kind of person so I decided in order to be able to pick which 7 I would use, I needed to see which ones looked best in the frame. So I opened good old Word and pasted pictures into it so I could arrange them to see how they looked and which ones I liked best together.
Another hour (or 3 with a dinner break of course) later I had found my 7 photos to print. I brought up the Walmart photo website and went to upload my pictures so I could place my order to print them. I waited patiently for the upload and added them to my cart. I went to the size options, and picked 4x6 for the two main photos, and then…. Wait. What? Where is the choice for picture size 2.5x3 hmmm must be wallet size. Ok two of those. Now…. Arg what about picture size 3.5x3.5, or 3x4, or 3x3.5. What about those options??
The photo center at my local Walmart was already closed by now so I decided to use their friendly free chat help service. Turns out Walmart DOESN’T have everything, they can’t get me a picture size 3x3.5. Fine I’ll go somewhere else. Turns out that pretty much everywhere agrees with Walmart, and they don’t want to print all my sizes either. Stupid picture frame!! Who makes dumb photo sizes that no one wants to print for me. Yes the girl in slot size 3.5x3.5 is lovely, but she just doesn’t fit the color scheme for the photos I already picked.
