Using photos in a lapbook
I like to use our own photos in our lapbooks, but printing can get expensive. While printing pictures from my SD card using the kiosk at my local CVS pharmacy I discovered that you can print mini-photos which consist of 9 pictures on a 4X6" sheet for only 29 cents! That's about 3 cents per picture. Yes, they're pretty small but they're still amazingy clear and colorful and while they're tough to see online they work fine in person. And it makes a lapbook much more personalized which my boys love.

Thank you so much for sharing your lapbooks. I am just getting started on them with my children, and can use all the help I can find. ;0) I can't wait to continue looking through your blog. Thanks again.
I noticed on your sidebar you mention pocket envelopes, do you make them yourself, or is it something you buy. If you do buy, where do you buy them from?
I am so sorry for all the comments. I just realized you also live in South Florida. We do too!! I have four children(11,9,5, 3), and my younger daughter(9)would probably have been labeled autistic if I had pushed to get a label for her. I do therapy at home with her and she has improved greatly.
I've linked to your idea from www.lapbooking.wordpress.com - your family's own photos make their learning come alive and more meaningful for the children.
yay! for lapbooking.
I'm just learning about lapbooks and found your site. I know your pain of expensive printing, but I've found this to be true: Sam's Club has $.13 prints all the time. I use my own software on the computer to make multiple images on one file (like what you did at the drug store), and then it's still only $.13. However, even better that that, is Wolf/Ritz Camera has $0.06 prints on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. These are 3.5x5 inch prints (the old size) but work great if you're scrapbooking. I just brought all of my photos to albumize (:)) for 2008 there. Hope this can save you some dough...
What a great idea to use your own photos! Thanks so much for sharing!
