Tips from the Disney Diva is a regular column written for the Disney Dispatch by the Diva herself, Kristin T. Scroggin. Today, the Diva reveals one of her 'favorite things': Snapfish Photo Books.

My son was turning 4 on his first trip to Disney World. We had a great time and I came back with a bazillion pictures. Our daughter had not yet been born and I was then teaching only a few classes, so I scrapbooked. And I scrapbooked ... and I scrapbooked.

I spent time and A LOT of money creating the 'perfect' memory book for our first trip. Before each of our subsequent trips we'd take out our scrapbooks and look at pictures from our previous trips. If you have the time (and money) to spend and a deep love for scrapbooks, I say GO FOR IT. Scrapbook till your little heart's content.

But for those who do NOT have that kind of time and/or money, I've got an AMAZING present for you: Snapfish Photo Books.

The beauty of a Snapfish Photo Book is that you just pick out a style and upload your photographs. After they've been automatically arranged in the book, you type in titles or descriptions, then the book is printed, bound, and sent to you.

Expensive? Depends. You can get a book for as little as $11.99. Or add extras and spend a whole lot more. Up to you.

For example, I just did an 8x11 Snapfish Photo Book with a personalized cover for my mother- and father-in-law as a Christmas gift. The book has 33 pages and cost $45.81, including shipping. I would have easily spent that much on a scrapbook and stickers! The book is hard-cover and bound just like any book you'd find at Borders or in a library.

I know my in-laws will love it and I'm sure your Disney fans will, too!

For its ease of design and the useful way it keeps Disney memories at my fingertips, I've made Snapfish Photo Books #4 on the list of My Favorite Things.

About the Author

Kristin T. Scroggin is a Communication Arts Professor in Alabama by day and a Disney Diva by night. She, her husband ("G"), and their two children (8 and 4) are WDW annual pass-holders and border-line Disney addicts. She shamelessly begs to stow away in her friends' suitcases when they travel to WDW and takes great pleasure in teaching other people (especially parents) how to make the MOST of their Disney World vacations. She is really excited to be sharing what she and her hubby have learned with all of the DisneyDispatch fans!
