After talking about it for a week, I finally made it to CVS pharmacy in Bath, ME to make a photobook on the kiosk there. It was really easy and we had great pics to choose from! Check it out…

Special thanks to my good friend Annelise for holding the flip for me and providing the thumb drive with the fabulous fourth of July pics from the lake :)

Want credit for feedback?

Ok, so don’t be mad at me for videoing while driving. I WAS stuck in traffic (moving slowly) and I WAS using my cool joby gorillapod with the flip and I WAS watching the road while talking with BOTH hands on the steering wheel. Please watch and leave a comment for a $25 credit to make any photo gift you want from Walmart Canada, Costco, Sam’s Club, CVS or Blacks compliments of my friends at PNI

My cool nephew’s new photo idea.

So I totally LOVE this idea. My 12 year old nephew is brilliant!

I’m thinking a family of pillows, a memorial pillow of my recently deceased dog, best friend pillows, etc… How about kids who miss their parent or parents when away from them having a pillow to bring along with their picture? I already ordered my first pillows from CVSphoto.com of  my kids to check it out :) How cute will this be on a pillow…

Much fun was had! I sat down to upload my photos to Walmart Photo Centre when it occurred to me that a quick video on the upload process might be helpful. Uploading here is really easy and intuitive. Watch the video for more…
