Holiday Gift Ideas, Start Early For Unique Photo Gifts!
Instead of scouring the mall for gifts this holiday season why not consider using your cherished photos to create a unique personalized gift for family and friends?
There are so many ways now, made easy with online sites and programs, to create unique personal gifts using your digital photos. Photo Books offer a way of creating a high quality photo album, book bound with text and artwork options. Calendars are always a perfect little gift or stocking stuffer, what Grandmother would not love a calendar of her precious grandchildren? Online sites offer easy ways of editing pictures as well, change to black and white, sepia, antique, add frames, create post cards, stickers, blur edges, so many ways to spruce up your photos and have a little fun in the process! Place your photos on mugs, mousepads, aprons, magnets, coasters, tote bags, and tee shirts. Create personalized Holiday greeting cards as well.
Another unique idea is to have a collage of your photos created. Collages are perfect unique gift ideas for anyone. Photos are blended together for a seamless look from your digital images or from your scanned photos. Themes include; weddings, babies, children, parties, trips, family reunions, or anything you can think of. Collages can then be framed for display, put on a stretched canvas or used on mousepads, calendar pages, a very unique cutting board, puzzle, or any other photo gift.
A calendar for the grandparents, using pictures from throughout the year and a few themed collages. New baby in the family? A baby collage printed on a mousepad for the new mother or father to have for their office. A collage of wedding photos for a newlywed couple, matted and framed and tied with a red ribbon makes a lovely gift!
So this year, forget the bath salts and take the plunge into the digital era and give unique gifts that your family and friends will cherish forever!

Updates Galore!
The website has been updated again. Lots of things. I have added an About Me section with a collage of me and my adorable boys! Lots of articles have been added to the resources section with great tips on photography, especially taking good pictures of children which is always a challenge. A few more links have been added to the links pages and I added links to a few of my friend's websites.
More updates coming soon...
