Let the rainy day activites commence

Now that summer is over <sob> I'm looking for something, anything, to help occupy the girls' time.

Someone must be listening because I opened my email and Snapfish asked if my seven-year-old daughter would like to have a go at making a photo book. Yes, please.

So I loaded up her photos (she got a digital camera for Christmas) and she pretty much figured out the programme herself (drag and drop). She even wrote her own captions and came up with some pretty cool backgrounds.

She ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Even better that the printed product arrived just a few days after we made it.

My only complaint is that there is no obvious spell check and way to rotate photos (did I miss something?)

Here's the hard stats for you curious mums: the bottom line is that is cost £27 and occupied about an hour of her time (I had to spend some time at the end to edit, etc).

I would do it again, especially for a gift. Plus it is a great IT and writing project.

Sounds expensive but worth it for the special memories and lasts longer than a trip to Pizza Hut!
