    You have some great ideas for using your photographs here. I have a few of mine on Zazzle, they now do Jigsaw Puzzles, which is a nice idea. Usually we just view ours online, but occasionally print some to use in a frame, or create a calendar.

    I have thousands of photos in digital and film formats. Got to start organizing them and making stuff from the images. The accordion album is a wonderful craft project. Gonna save and use that idea for the holidays.
