Dawn asked for suggestions on photo taking.
This is my project photo taking set up. I have found that having a continuous white background and a light projecting down from the top makes for the best color...in my art room anyway:) If you check the pictures on my blog you will notice some with a continuous white background and some other ways. The continuous is definitely the best.
In this picture, it looks like the only light on is the desk light, however, the room light is also on.
To take my photos, I set my camera on no flash and the macro setting (the tulip on most cameras). After I take the pictures, I load them on my computer and do any adjusting/cropping using Picasa.
That's how I do it. How do you do it?

I turn off my flash and look for the best lit spot I can find, but inevitably I end up with shadows. I've been intending to go buy a big roll of paper to use with the kids for craft projects, being seeing your set-up has inspired me. I have the perfect place to hang some paper...I just have to convince Steve to clear out some of his things to make room for mine! And now I'll be able to use that roll of paper as a tax write-off, too, correct?
