Card Exchange - Pictures & Creativity

you could take a nice color photo and bring it to kinkos or staples, etc.
and have it reproduced on a color copier. don't know the cost though.

if you have a friend with a digital, has them to snap a few pics and print
them out on a color printer.

ooops, sent the other one way to quickly!

as i started to say:

it's NOT necessary to send photos. last year i didn't because it was my
first year and i had no idea what to expect.

whatever you decide to do will be fine!

HI Martha,

I think I may use an camera to take a roll of film and get it to print two
copies in shop.
Then, I will choose some to send out to you guys.

Oh man! Why do I have a mental image of pawprints on the doorframes, the
walls, a table cloth... Carrie, you are a brave soul! lol I don't even want
to think about what Aimee would do if I tried to set her up with some paint.

Oh, would I love to watch that. Mocha would try to drink the paint!
Eugene wouldn't want to get "icky" on his snow white paws!

I like the idea of getting 2 extra sets when I get the roll of film
developed. It makes a lot of sense. I am so used to only being truly happy
with one or two prints out of a roll that the thought never even occurred to
me. Doh! That's what ya get for being a perfectionist! lol I'm working on it
though, really hard. ;-) I'm not sure how many of them might be fuzzy since
I have been using a flash, and Aimee is wont to move as bunnies do, but
hopefully a reasonable facsimile of her can be seen in every print.

I don't honestly think that printing out the pictures would save any money
as the cost of the toner would probably be very close to development cost
and, of course, I need to get the roll of film developed anyways, so extra
sets should be a relatively minor incremental cost.

Sounds like a plan, thanks for giving me a thwap! up the side of the head.
