i've used blurb, mixbook and mypublisher. blurb was SO frustrating. the "slurping" doesn't work.
one tip for sites that don't offer customization is to create pages in another program (photoshop, microsoft publisher) according to the dimensions of the book you are ordering (12x12 etc.). save the page as a photo or pdf then select the largest photo option (i think all books offer a full page spread) and enter your own creation as if it were a photo. (that probably didn't make sense.)
also, get on their mailing lists. they ALWAYS offer discounts.

christine,
like everyone else, we have loved our balance bike. our son learned to ride without training wheels when he was two but he still loves the like-a-bike. all kids love it. my nine-year-old still plays around on it. so no, they won't be too old.
we are big on buying quality bikes because we want them to last. we bought the bike pictured for our oldest and then painted it blue for our third (a boy).
but we also received a small $30 bike with training wheels from toys-r-us for our oldest and, 3 kids and 7 years later, it is doing just fine.

i think all wooden dolls are funny looking. we have a doll house from pottery barn and we use hand-me-down fisher price loving family dolls.
