Now that digital cameras and smartphone are ubiquitous, I tend to forget about the old days of displaying photos in frames. Every now and then I like to have my favorite photos from the past few months printed in bulk at my local drugstore, and I just love coming up with creative ways to display them. One of my favorites is this magnetic picture puzzle; it’s great to give as a gift to relatives, and this project is so fun to do with your kiddos.
