I need some help with creating appendix for my thesis. I have about 10 figure which need to be in the appendix. I have a good appendix with the following code:

\appendix 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{APPENDICES}

\chapter{XXXX}

I have a main thesis.tex file where i call this appendix.tex file after the last chapter. Problems are:

1. the appendix starts without any notice that its the appendix except for the chapter # is A but i want to have either a separate page which says appendix prior to the start of appendix or on top of the first appendix page to explicitly say "appendix".
2. Now i use the \chapter{} command to have the title of the appendix but i think i will have only one set of appendix. Is there some command which can make the title insited of chapter? Since in the TOC
