Tikatok

It doesn't take long to find a website that can help you get started in producing a book.  I didn't do any research into which one would be better or carry out a side by side comparison of features and prices, storage space allowed to individual accounts or customer recommendations.  My husband Paul would have, that's how considerate he is in almost everything.  I stumbled across www.tikatok.com which is geared towards kids publishing their stories and seems to be a popular tool for teachers to use in their classrooms-at least that's how it's marketed.  I bet a lot of you would be making books if you went and checked out the website.  Think of all of the photos you already have that you, or your kids, could make up a story about.  Their turn around time averages six days from the time you submit your finished product and the cost is around $20.  As the idea of this book as a gift takes shape it reminds me of another blog post that I was reading.  Check out the link to the right titled "The Pomegranate Chronicles" and click on the box titled "Handmade Holiday 2010".  This doesn't fit with that blog's definition of handmade but I think it's within the same spirit of "from the heart".  And if nothing else you'll get some great crafting ideas.
