I've Been Waiting For This!

I've been waiting for this! A company called Blog2Print will allow you download your blog and create a book. They have very reasonable prices and free shipping. There is also a nice cover selection. The only thing stopping me was the fact that if you had placed pictures in your blog and text under the pictures the site did not separate the text and pictures on a page. It looked like this:
But this morning I received an e-mail announcing that now they offer a choice called snapshot which is exactly what I wanted to do. It looks like this:
It takes more space, but your pictures and text remain together! And not only can you choose this option you can get a discount! I love you Blog2Print!

Where is spring?

I know it doesn't look much like spring outside the windows today, but here's a great idea I received in an e-mail from the girls at Gooseberry Patch! Check out their blog.
Looking for a centerpiece to go with a picnic or garden-fresh meal? Slice a watermelon in half and use half as a vase...don't even bother to hollow it out! Simply tuck flower stems right in the melon, and the water inside will help keep them vibrant.

I Wish You Enough

What do you wish for? Are you always wishing for more? In this gift book, I Wish You Enough, Bob Parks has seven wishes for his readers. Based on a family’s tradition of saying goodbye by saying, “I wish you enough,”the author takes each part of the poem they recite to each other and adds inspirational stories of his own to each wish. The seven wishes are enough sun, rain, happiness, pain, gain, loss and hellos. Each section also contains a stunning photo and a related bible verses. The book has 121 pages and is suitable for anyone. It would make a great gift for graduations or any other occasions. There is also a page that can be personalized. This book reminds us to be grateful and satisfied with what we have and to appreciate the important moments in life.

Stuff I Don’t NEED, but want

I know the difference in wants and needs and believe me I have more than I need, but here’s a little wish list I created while surfing the web! Snow days cause you to do these things.

What do you think, see anything you NEED?

This jewelry is me, my camera is on my shoulder and I carry one in my purse. I have so many photos I don’t know what I have!

Cricut Create Bundle with 2 Cartridges and Tool Kit

From the Home Shopping Network, it’s such a good buy at 249 and free shipping and I’m just a wanna be scrap booker. I have some of the supplies, but just can’t get started!

News Flash—this item with one cartridge is one sale Feb. 14 & 15 at Big Lots for $99.

My friend, Kim, is saving for one of these, she may not be able to resist this sale!

The iPad from Apple

www.apple.com

Watch the video, you will want one too. They start at $499 and go up. One new application they will have is iBooks. It will be part of iTunes and you can order a book and get it instantly. I haven’t wanted an e-book reader because I want to hold the “real” book, but the iPad is so light and slim I think I could enjoy reading on it. The battery life is supposed to be 10 hours, another plus for the Ipad!
