HOW DO I SUBMIT MY BOOK?
Just fill out the submission form on this page.
HOW DO I FIND A LINK TO MY BOOK?
To find out what version of Picaboo you’re using, click here.
If you’re using PicabooX, follow these directions to find your link:
- Open PicabooX.
- Select the book you’d like to share from your library.
- When your book opens, select “share” from the top navigation bar.
- Select “Email” from the pop up window.
- Send yourself an email of the book you’d like to share.
- When you receive the email, copy the link and paste the link into the form.
- Open Picaboo by double-clicking the Picaboo icon on your desktop.
- Right-click on the book and select Properties.
- Right-click on the book URL to copy the address.
- Note: If you book doesn’t have a URL, right-click on the book and select Publish to Web. Once your book has finished uploading, repeat Step 2.
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A BOOK ABOUT LOVE?
All books that focus on a subject you love qualify. The subject could be anything from a wedding you attended to a cookbook featuring your favorite comfort foods. The sky’s the limit when it comes to the number of subjects that apply. And we figure, if you didn’t love the subject, you probably wouldn’t make a book about it! But just in case you want to create a book with a bit more love pizazz, check out these Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas.

Yes! Canadian residents can participate. Thanks!
I did an amazing book for my girlfriend but it is no longer on my PicabooX account because I was afriad she would see it before I surprised her… is there anyway to retrieve it? You guys printed it for me back in early December.

How do I create a link to my book?
Hey Shelia, To find your book’s URL, please read the steps in this post: http://blog.picaboo.com/2012/01/two-weeks-of-love-faqs/
I submitted a book but haven’t gotten a confirmation. Was it received?
Hey Liz! We received your book. Good luck!
How do I copy and paste the link to my book? It just brings up the book but there is no bar to cut and paste the link. I clicked on share but you can only share by email or to facebook.
Hey Jen! You will need to share your book with your personal email address. Once you receive the email, copy and past the book’s URL into the submission form. Good luck!
I received an email saying you received a book…I haven’t done a thing! What’s going on?
Hey Kate. Most likely this is because you subscribe to our blog and received a notification of our Thank you blog post. If you did not submit your book, please disregard the email. Thanks!
I am trying to “share” the book I have in my account… but it says “Project File Missing”. Any ideas?
Can Canadians enter?
Yes, residents of Canada are eligible to win. Good luck!
i submitted a book but did not get confirmation notice…hope it entered… Awesome contest, Picaboo, great idea…Becca was this some of your marketing magic?
I have the most wonderful book that I would like to enter in the contest but I can’t get it to do anything. I see it but when I click on it I get a message that says “Project file is missing” and it will not let me right click…help PLEASE
I submitted 2 books but am not sure if you received them, sent a previous message but no reply. Can you please confirm?
I just realized there is something very personally identifying for my child in the photo book I sent you that I would really like to remove in case it is published on your blog.
I am sorry for the inconvenience, but can you delete my entry so I can re-enter it?
Please send a note to FBFan@picaboo.com and include your email address and any other information you submitted that will help us determine which book is yours. Thanks!
Three years ago our daughter and 3 wonderful grandchildren moved 2,000 miles away. It was heart breaking for us. Every year since they moved we’ve made Picaboo albums for each of them for Christmas, recapping the few short weeks we can spend together. They love their books and we believe they help to keep us close and connected. We made this particular book for our 13 year old grandson who comes to visit during his spring break and in the summer. He told us that when he’s feeling lonely and missing his friends and family he looks through his books and remembers the great times we have together. Thanks Picaboo for helping us stay close to the people we love most!
