Would
you like to personalise greeting cards, gifts or make your
own photo book about an event, family members, a holiday or
a record of your achievements?
SNAPFISH is a suggestion.
Using
their templates, adapting them to fit your wishes, you can
design gifts/ mementoes quickly and for reasonable prices,
but specials are advertised regularly and these are
particularly good value.
You send them through to the company and the item is
delivered in three or four days. Yes, it is
possible to do this straight from the web-site but if you
wish for help, Lorraine and Glenys are running a
SNAPFISH Workshop at 1pm on Monday 2nd July.
It
is being held in our new Learning Centre at the Henderson
RSA in Railside Ave.
The
course fee is $10.00 and you will need to bring your own
digital photos, of course.
