Review & Giveaway: My Memories Suite

I am not a true scrapbooker. Oh, I have lots of scrapbook papers and stamps and decorative scissors and brads and… You get the idea. Yet, I don’t seem to find time to actually do the scrapbooking. It’s not for lack of pictures because I have tons of those – on my computer and external hard drive. You see where I’m going with this? I’m definitely a digital, computer image type of person. I’m much happier working with digital pictures and images than I am with the physical, hard copies. My sister, an avid scrapbooker, has told me for years…

Tri-Cross Game Review

Posted in Photography, and Reviews

Checkers meets Stratego… That’s how D described this fun game of strategy called Tri-Cross. When the game arrived at the house, we all read through the instructions of this completely new to us game, but it didn’t really “click” until we watched the video on how to play.
