But when you'e done you can download the image to your HD & i crop it with iPhoto but i think it's right nifty! Here are some tips from the site Tips: Use the button at the top of your picture to download it to your computer! See this page for more ideas! To align the text (left, center, or right) on this picture, just put spaces before or after any of the words until you like the way it looks. This particular image generator's font can benefit from using various upper and lower cased letters. TrY DoiNG iT foR DiFfeRenT ResULts! Another Good (and fun!) Header Resource is Spell with Flickr... this resource i think i really need to give a rest because i love it SO much i believe i've overused it! but it just charms me so...and i love playing with it because if you don...

These future-toys can do math, play music, and talk to their friends, too. Is this the next thing in hands-on learning?" I'm frankly gobsmacked!

-- This site as mentioned on my wiki inspired me to create this Twilight inspired Blabberize to get my kids to return their Library Media Books!
