My Memories Suite Giveaway - CLOSED

Back to school and back to blogging.

Let's start with a giveaway.

I used to scrapbook all the time. A LONG time ago. I look back at those scrapbooks now and just sigh. I wish I wouldn't have cut up those pictures and spent so much money on all those funky embellishments. Sure, it's nice to have memories, but my style has changed so much that now I think most of my pages are tacky, and my pictures are all chopped up. I guess those scrapbooks will serve as a good reminder of my wonky style. Like the 80's.

I've heard of digital scrapbooking before but have never paid much attention to it. Then the people at My Memories contacted me about their software and asked me to take a look. I was curious, to say the least.

Their My Memories Suite software was easy to download. I quickly started browsing their page layouts and embellishments to see what this was all about, then downloaded some photos off of iphoto and started making some pages. After about an hour too long and dinner being neglected, I needed to stop. Oh, the possibilities.

I like to give grandparents and the kids photo books for Christmas. This software is just what I need to do that. Wouldn't it be fun to have a little spiral book with funky faces of all your relatives? Or a recipe book. Or an I-Spy book. Or thank you cards.

You can share your pages online, print them at home, or send them to a professional printer. You can also include music or movies to your pages. I'm not a facebooker, but that would be cool to have a talking scrapbook page on your update thing. (Can you do that? I dunno. I'm behind.)

My pages are really simple and basic, just how I like it. I didn't dive into all the possibilities here. There are a lot of embellishments, backgrounds, and templates you can use...I just made my own.

We made Andy's birthday invitations in about 10 minutes.

joey and kacie.

Joey started kindergarten today. He's ecstatic. I'm happy for him.

Kacie's miserable.

She misses her best friend.

She told me today while shopping at Sam's Club,

"Mom, you're nice. But this would be a lot better with Joey."

Then she cried because she knew Joey would want an ice cream.

When we came home she decided to watch Power Rangers for her quiet time.

She hates Power Rangers, but Joey loves it.

When the carpool dropped Joey off, Kacie was first to the door.

They got themselves a bowl of ice cream

and held hands as they went to finish her quiet time.

Watching his show.

In one year Kacie will be in school, too.

and it all changes.

I'm ready.

But I don't think I'm ready.

I love how they love eachother.
