Family Picture Photo Gift Ideas!

Family Picture Photo Gift Ideas! This is the best time of year for family pictures, the weather is cooled a bit and clothes can be more layered. The leaves are changing which makes the perfect backdrop.  Once your family pictures are taken, get them made into photo gifts, the perfect solution for holiday gift giving!

Giant Paper Poinsettia!

I love the white core...it gives it a fun dis...
