Lifehacker has a good list of things you can do with all those digital photos — refrigerator magnets, movie posters, trading cards, collage posters, etc.
NewMexiKen’s very own official oldest daughter has her own idea. For the past two years, Jill has photographed Mack with each of his birthday gifts, then uses the photo to decorate the thank you note for that gift.
That’s a long way from the first computer merge we ever did. “Dear [blank], Thank you for the [blank]. I will enjoy [blanking] with it.” Add a list of gifters, gifts, and actions and voila, thank you notes ready to print and mail.
Thanks for sharing your ideas. There are many third-party tools provide a cheap alternative that is more than equal to most tasks.
