I caught up on some reading this weekend and saw a cool tip in one of my parenting magazines (I think it was parenting...God only knows...I subscribe to far too many magazines).

You can use Kodak's EasyShare software to transform your favorite photos into coloring-book pages, then upload them to Kodakgallery.com. They'll send you a custom coloring book full of family snapshots.

You can read more about it -- and download the free software -- here (you'll have to scroll down a bit to see it).

How fun is that?

Wouldn't the kids in your life get a kick out of coloring themselves?

(Actually...if you have a working knowledge of PhotoShop you can probably do the same thing with the tools in that program and print them out yourself).
