People have had a lot of fun coming up with names for our storms. Nothing common like the “Blizzard of 2010″ will do. We’ve got:

• Snowpocalypse
• Snowmaggedon
• Snowtorious B.I.G.
• Kayser Snowze
• SnOMG

and the new names keep on coming.

It’s all good with us. As long as the name is 30 characters or less, it fits on our base just fine.

What better way to mark the record-breaking storm of a lifetime? Get out your iPod touch or iPhone, launch the Snow Globe Maker app, and make your custom snow globe. When you’re done just post it to Facebook, email it to friends, or save and print a picture of it to add it to your scrapbook or online video.

So what to do when you’re snowbound and the kids are bouncing off the walls?

Get out your iPhone or iPod touch and fire up the Snow Globe Maker app, of course. Even pre-readers can choose their favorite backgrounds, bases, and images to put inside the globe.

Email finished creations to friends and family or post them to Facebook to amuse your peeps.

Here are a few fun globes our kids have made this month:

We’re happy to say that Snow Globe Maker Winter Edition has customers in 29 countries, with more trying us every day. Wish we could visit them all to say Thank You!

With Snow Globe Maker Winter Edition and an iPod touch or iPhone, kids can create and email custom thank you e-cards to family and friends. It’s fun to make a thank you globe, and so easy: just customize the globe (background, base, and what’s inside), add a personalized Thank You label, and click the share icon to send your globe in email.

What a great way to put that new iPod touch or iPhone to use and show loved ones your appreciation. There are over 350,000 way to customize with Snow Globe Maker Winter Edition, so you can make the perfect snow globe thank you for everyone on your list.

Look for Snow Globe Maker on the holiday app tree at your favorite Apple store.

It’s this easy:

1. Start the Snow Globe Maker app, choose the art combination you want, and personalize the label. For example, Katherine chose the bunny and polar bear for her place card.

2. When you create a globe you like, save it to your photos. Tap once to see the menu, click the middle share icon, and choose Save Photo. For the place cards, we saved one zoomed globe image and one un-zoomed.

3. Make a page of globes in your favorite word, presentation or graphics app (we used Keynote). We put our two place card images end-to-end and flipped the top one.

4. Print your page, then cut out your tags and cards. We folded the place cards and glued the middles–one side shows the zoomed image, and the other side shows the un-zoomed image. For the gift tags, we left the back blank and punched a hole for ribbon. The finished product looks pretty cute, and we had fun making them together.

1. Launch Snow Globe Maker Winter Edition and choose your favorite combination–background, base, three inserts, snow style. Keep picking until you find a combination you love–there are over 350,000 possibilities.
2. Change the snow globe label to add a custom greeting: Merry Christmas Katherine!, Season’s Greetings from Julie, Peace on Earth. You have 30 characters to play with, and you can always say more in your email.
3. Click the share icon and choose Email Photo. The email form is integrated with your contacts and you can add your own subject and message if you like.

Your family and friends will be happy you took the time to make a globe just for them. And you’ll save on all those cards and stamps. Print your iPhone snow globe to create custom gift tags, place cards, and more.
