A Photo Finish

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0500

At first, we just thought these were pretty picture frames, but there is more to GrowShow than meets the eye. If you are looking for a cool way to record your child's changing mug, just upload a bunch of snapshots from various ages (3 months, 6 months, etc), and let them take care of the rest. GrowShow will put the pictures in order, crop and color them for a uniform look, and deliver them to you finished in lovely magnetic frames, so you can create a sweet desktop display like the one below. From $10, Grow Show.
