There is one last chance to win My Memories digital scrapbooking software before the year ends. I use this software and love it. If you have been to my blog's Facebook page , the cover was created with MyMemories. It's very versatile. I do Facebook covers and similar stuff in MyMemories. My photos are not organized and a lot of them aren't scanned yet, so I haven't done any albums, but I have done single pages, especially with heritage photos. The current profile picture for Carol's Random Babble on Facebook. Time to change it, since it's after Christmas A new version I'll put up on Facebook later, since I also need to make a new cover. There are loads of free kits and quick pages, free font graphics and even a calendar template available. You don't have to buy a bunch of kits right off the bat. I do suggest that you follow MyMemories on Facebook, though, because they have giveaways and they tell you when a designer is having a sale. I p...

Here's another giveaway! To be honest, although I love the idea and the look of the iPad, I can't justify the expense for myself. I am fairly content with my Kindle Fire. But if someone were to give me an iPad? I would probably pass along my Fire without hesitation. (Probably - the Fire does fit nicely in my purse, and I use it a lot.) And I've only held an iPad once, for a few minutes, trying to track down the owner at church when he left it behind. I have never really used one, so I don't have personal experience. But here's a chance for someone to win an iPad - no worry about the expense or whether it's better than a Kindle Fire or laptop. Just a lovely prize to enjoy. (I imagine watching videos and playing games would be much better on the iPad.) Good luck! Welcome to the iPad3 Holiday Giveaway Event! Hosted by Mom Blog Society Special thanks to our lovely co-hosts Mom to Bed by 8 , Thinking Outside The Sandbox , Moms Living Thrifty and Food ...

I am raising a couple of girl geeks - we all love computers and playing video games. My daughter Amanda (she's 18) can't go anywhere without her Nintendo DS. (She has a DS Lite.) Driving to the grocery store? The DS goes along. Going to the doctor's office? The DS goes along. Going to church? Gotta have the DS (in the car, not during church!). Now think how Amanda would love to have a Nintendo DSi XL. (Even better, think how much you would love to have it.) The Nintendo DSi XL is a high-powered handheld video-game system with an extra large, wide viewing angle screen, and a full size, easy to hold stylus. It comes with features like touch-screen control for a unique gaming experience. Snap photos with the built-in camera, edit and send them to friends, play back your music with Nintendo DSi Sound, or browse the Internet with the Nintendo DSi Browser. From playing games to just playing around, the Nintendo DSi XL does it all. Includes: Nintendo DSi XL System, 3 Pre...

SODASTREAM GIVEAWAY My family drinks a lot of soda and soda is expensive. I find myself buying one to three 12-packs (currently $4.98 each) a week for the girls, and 2-liters (currently $1.28 each) for me and I'm kind of concerned about the effect this is having on our bodies as well as my budget. Sodastream soda works out to about 25 cents per can of soda . You want to know if the sodas taste good. Yes, it taste just like the soda you buy in the store. There are few differences though, There are fewer calories and less sugar in Sodastream sodas. Plus, the soda flavors don't have any high-fructose corn syrup in the regular flavors, and no aspartame in the diet flavors. Sparkling Naturals doesn't have artificial flavors, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners or any preservatives. Each sodamix is enough to make 12 liters of drink, each sparkling naturals contains enough syrup to make 6 liters of drink, each bottle of MyWater Flavor Essence will flav...
