Cool Cards
In what is a first, I believe, since my divorce, I sent out Christmas cards to the family. But, a regular card just would not do. I heard about a great piece of software that enables you to take movie files and print them on Avery business card stock to make flipbooks. I went out to my local running trail, recoded a quick little Merry Christmas movie, and went back to the house. I played with the software just a bit; it's very easy to use. In a few minutes, I had what I wanted. I printed everything out on the business card stock then separated all the cards. Now I had nice 1/2" high flipbooks, but needed to bind them. I got some 3/4" staples to staple everything together, knowing work had a heavy-duty stapler. Unfortunately, the one at work would only take 1/2" staples. Off to Kinko's! They had a big one, and they let me use it for free. I had a bunch of 4"x6" padded envelops for sending photos, so I used those to send the flipbooks out. A bit more expensive than a normal card, but a lot more fun!

I thought Kinko's must have come in somewhere during the preparation of those, as you say, very cool Christmas cards. Thanks for our copy - definitely a keeper!
The girls want us to show it to them multiple times a day. We loved it!
