Great gift for grandparents

My parents and my in-laws live 1500 miles away from us and get to see my boys maybe once a year.  Last year I wanted to do something for them that would reflect the year, something that they could cherish, something that was a gift with emotional value rather than money value.

So...since I have a digital camera I send my pictures, that I want a physical copy of, to Walmart.com and either have them developed in 1 hour or in this case sent to the store (site to store) for free!!  As I was thinking about printing pictures for the grandparents I discovered the "collage" prints...you can order anything from an 8X10 to a 20X30 (poster)...prices start at $2.84 to $20.86.  So I decided to give it a try (for Christmas 2009)...I picked pictures that we had taken through out the year!  You can also put a title on your collage print at the top or bottom of the print.

Those pictures were a HUGE hit with the grandparents...at that time I decided that this was something I was going to give to the grandparents EVERY Christmas...I have attached this year's collage print below for you to checkout...and since my mom follows my blog she'll get to see it early!!  =D
