Review & Giveaway: My Memories Suite

Posted in Reviews

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…

I’ve been having fun playing around with a new digital scrapbooking program. (Review and giveaway should be posted this week.) I started looking through the photos that I took this past weekend when we went horseback riding and came across this photo of Munchkin and Daddy. I knew that I wanted to do something with it. I didn’t want to play with it too much, so I just went with a simple picture. With so much going on in our lives right now, this verse is a good reminder that God is in control of it all. I’m grateful that…

Out on the Range

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Last weekend was a fun long weekend for us which is why I missed a few days of posting.  Grandma and Grandpa came to Arizona for business, so we headed over to spend some time with them.  Grandpa decided that it would be fun for us all to go horseback riding while they were here.  Due to the fact that it’s still rather warm here, we had to get up early in the morning, but we all agreed that it was worth it.  It was nice that we avoided the thunderstorms that took place during our last horseback riding adventure.…
