OK, let's see if this sounds familiar? It's Christmas Eve and your kids are
asleep, dreaming of Santa and gifts. It's after midnight, you've been helping
your wife prepare the meal for Christmas Day, the kids' expectations are high,
your daughter is 12 and no longer believes in Santa and your son is 9 and a
half and still believes in making cookies for Santa before he goes to bed.
Santa needs to leave a personalized letter for each child by the fireplace,
and your kids can recognize your handwriting no matter which hand you write
with. What do you do? Smile
Box has an answer.
Smile Box
enables you to quickly create an electronic, multi-media presentation with
your own photos in a matter of minutes. The software may be downloaded for
free from their web site and there's never a charge unless you want to use one
of their premium templates or use some of their add-on services.
Smile Box
is very well-designed and uses a very intuitive graphical interface, enabling
even the most PC and graphics challenged person to use it and create an
electronic memento in minutes. Yes, even grandma can do it.
I chose the "Letter from Santa". It enabled me to
add my own photos, and to customize the presentation so that my kids would
think it was created especially for them by Santa himself. In fact, Santa
recorded an entire video greeting. This guy looks and sounds just like Santa
but he uses a laptop!
Once I was done creating my multi-media masterpiece in Smile
Box, I could choose to share it via email or post it to my blog, print
it or burn a DVD. Depending upon the option you choose, it's either free or
you must subscribe via a low-cost monthly plan. Free postings include
advertising. The paid subscriptions give you unlimited access to a very
elaborate and well designed library of hundreds of templates and tons of
music.
Smile Box
was a God-send, and it was fun to use, too. I'm sure there are ways to use
this for commercial purposes, too, so check it out by clicking here
