About the Column
A diva, if you want to get etymological, is a 'goddess, a fine lady'. We're not sure whether our Disney Diva is a goddess but she's certainly a fine lady when it comes to dispensing Disney tips and park lore, especially about her favorite Disney things. But don't let the Diva title fool you: Kristin's advice is always practical, her tips always inventive, even if they do often come a bit of Diva-tude.

#4: The Disney Diva does some scrapbookin' in a snap(fish)
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.

Design a custom cover, then ...
... pick your paper colors ...
... and your photo layouts, too!
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!
