Last week I was given a coupon to try out 'Printic', which is an smartphone app. Love your phone photos but long for real prints to pop in your wallet or stick into your journal? This is a great solution and blends old and new school technology in a pleasing way. Printic works on iPhone, Android and Windows phones.

Using the app, you can choose which photos on your camera (or in a dropbox account) you'd like to turn into little prints. Send off the form, and then, about a week later, your prints, (maybe just a bit larger than Polaroids) will arrive in your letterbox. 

I used Printic to make prints of the kids and some other things (I didn't have many photos on my phone but was impatient to try it.) The little photos are great quality, and remind me of the old days- shots of everyday life to tape to the wall, stick on the fridge or send to friends. And that's what I did with them: tucked them inside letters to grandparents and friends.

(You can also order other stuff like books and calendars featuring your prints. The app is free to install, and the prints cost about a dollar each with free delivery to your letterbox.)
