Mimi!!!  Congratulations!  Email me, and I'll send you your code to download the software.

The chances for the ladies who entered this giveaway were pretty good! 50/50!! :) Remember if you are not interested in the software package, My Memories has lots of paper packs and other goodies to offer at great prices.  They even have a dollar store and freebies!!  It doesn't get better than that.

Stay tuned.  I have a book giveaway coming up in a week or so.  And one of these days I'll get back to posting our "stories" here too!

My Memories Suite {Give Away}

As you can imagine, I was overjoyed when I was contacted by a representative from My Memories about hosting a review and give away for their digital scrapbooking software.  I absolutely love taking pictures and scrapbooking.  But, I just never have the time to sit down and fool with all the scrap booking supplies.  Not to mention how costly scrap booking can become!

  My Memories Suite is a digital scrapbooking software that could not be more user friendly.  My Memories Suite is available for both Windows, (Vista, XP, Windows 7) or Mac.
  It allows you to create your own designs, such as this one. . .

It is so easy to use, that I was able to create this adorable Bama girl page within minutes of downloading the program.  The software is also full of great pre made layouts for every occasion.

Scrapbooking software is not only for your typical scrapbook pages.  So far I have used the My Memories Suite software to create a new blog header. . .

 And a printable Calendar. . .

The possibilities are endless.  And I know you all will enjoy this software as much as I have.  I am beyond excited to have the opportunity to give one lucky reader a free download of the My Memories Suite Software. {Valued at $80.}

All  you need to do to be entered into the drawing for the software is go take a look around the My Memories site, come back here and leave a comment telling me what digital paper pack is your favorite. {Mandatory}

Putting God Back in the Holidays {& a Give Away!!}

I have recently been given the opportunity to do a review on the book by Bill & Penny Thrasher, Putting God Back in the Holidays.

When I first heard about the book, I assumed it was a book about Christmas.  Not only does the book cover Christmas, it gives us solutions to help our families celebrate every holiday of the year.  Bill writes in the book about how our family can include and honor God not only during special occasions, but everyday of the year.  One of my favorite things about this book is the "Practical Help" at the end of each section.  This section is full of tips and ideas to help us celebrate the holidays with our families better.  It's just the extra push that I need to apply the ideas to my own life.

**Give Away Time**

I am so thankful for Moody Publishers!  They were kind enough to send me three free copies of Putting God Back in the Holidays.  One for review, and two more to give away to you guys!!  All you have to do to enter for a chance to win, is leave a comment here on this post.  Also, since this is my first Give Away ever, I would love for you to tweet/blog about it to help spread the word.  If you do tweet/blog about the give away, leave me another comment letting me know that you did to receive a second entry.  Two winners will be randomly chosen and announced on Sunday, November 21st.  Good Luck!!
