Exciting Giveaway for the Crafty! Or NOT So Crafty...
Several years ago I began scrapbooking. Decided I'd do scrapbooks for my children, documenting their childhood in adorable pages of pictures and embellishments. I say "FOR" my children, however, they're NEVER allowed to touch them without close, adult supervision!! Maybe they'll get to have them when they're married-depending on how responsible and mature they are at that point.
Looking back now, I realize I might've been a bit too ambitious with it. I had it in my mind that I would do a book for each year containing pictures from each month. Now, from birth to age 1, it's pretty easy to do as you always have tons of pictures documenting another month of life and there are so many milestones in that first year! I got that first book done with flying colors! LOVED every minute! To make a long story short-I've got four completed books for my NINE year old (only five short years behind!) and two completed books for my SIX year old. (four years behind on her!) So I have six bulging, 12x12 scrapbooks that I've moved to two different states and three different houses. NOT TO MENTION, we've added two more children that don't even HAVE a book NOR any hard copy pictures printed out. :-O
My present day mind set is that I no longer have the time or space for making these scrapbooks. My "littles" won't let me sit and glue and cut and play with pretty papers and embellishments. AND my husband likes to have dinner and clean laundry at least a few times a week...SOOOO... ENTER DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING!!
I've recently come across great digital scrapbooking software from My Memories! My Memories is a Polaroid company that "has a quickly growing collection of fresh and unique digital kits as well as My Memories Suite, the number one rated digital scrapbook software out there." I've been playing around with the software and it's really fun and easy to do. After I create my scrapbook page, (or photobook page, calendar page, greeting card, etc...) it can be shared online, saved to a disc or printed out. Here are a couple of pages I've done recently, just playing around with the software:
This second page actually has a video embedded in it so that when the page is opened a video automatically loads of Emma telling her story of pulling her first tooth! SO COOL!!

School, A Baptizing, And a Giveaway!
School starts this week!! (worth repeating) School starts this week!!! I think I'm more excited about it than my girls! ;-) Taylor will start 4th grade, makes my stomach turn a bit-she's growing up too fast! Emma will start 1st grade. All I can say is...WATCH OUT 1st grade, she's coming!! Addison is also starting "school"...actually a mother's day out program. She doesn't start until next week but we are SUPER DUPER excited about it!! I won't know what to do having only one child to take care of for a few hours! But I'm sure I'll manage JUST fine!
Other exciting news...Taylor is being baptized on Sunday afternoon! Nathan's Papaw is baptizing her. The baptismal service is at the Ouachita River. She asked me last night if there are gators in the river. Ha! Mayyyybe one too many episodes of Swamp People?!?!
We sure have been enjoying the cooler (90's would be considered COOL) weather lately! A great break from the 115's and even 117 one day. The kids have played outside a lot more the past few days. On Saturday, Nathan and I were outside playing ball with them. Addison snuck up behind Nathan, grabbed the legs of his athletic shorts and YANKED them down to his ankles! Since he was holding Macy on his shoulders at the time he couldn't let go of her to pull them up. He was in a predicament!! We have a semi-private back yard...privacy fences on the sides but it backs up to the 3rd tee box on a golf course (it's SATURDAY, remember) and there's only a black coated chain link fence in back...and some other backyards beyond the golf course. He was laughing so hard and yelling at me to come help him. I'm not sure what possessed her to do that...I think it was an accident maybe but then after seeing all of our reactions (Taylor & Emma were rolling in the grass laughing) she just kept trying to do it again and again.
I found out today that we are among the less fortunate. As Emma was deciding what to have for breakfast this morning, she plopped down on the bar stool and wailed, "It's TERRIBLE to be poor! We don't even have any BREAKFAST!" ...sob, sob... OH, that child! She has absolutely no idea about anything outside of her own little "Emma World!" Just to clear it up, we DO have food in our house...bananas, apples, strawberries, grapes, pop tarts, oatmeal, 27 boxes of cereal!! -just to name a few! She just "didn't have enough choices!" I know, SHE AIN'T RIGHT!
Moving on to more exciting news...
I was contacted by a digital scrapbooking company and they want me to host a GIVEAWAY here on my blog!! I have downloaded their software and have begun to test it out and play around with it. It's really cool! One page I did even has a video embedded into it that plays when you open the page. You can turn your pages into calendars and also make greeting cards as well! I'm super excited about this as I am YEARS behind on my scrapbooking! I can either print out my album, have it bound into a book or keep the album on a disc. I can also share my album online or through email with family/friends. In addition to the free software giveaway, they're giving me $10 discount codes to share with everyone! My next post (within a few days) will be the giveaway post! Stay tuned for that!!
Hope you have a great week!
