I believe I mentioned some time back that I’m a crafter. One of the crafts I enjoy is scrapbooking. So when I was given the opportunity to try out the MyMemories Suites scrapbooking software I was excited. Not that I don’t like my cutters, croppers and paper, but my craft closet is only so big.
The biggest draw for me was the concept of “fixable mistakes”. There have been many of times where I cut a piece of paper wrong, cut a picture too small or just plain wasn’t happy with a page. With a digital scrapbook I could experiment on a page over and over until I got the results I wanted… without one wasted picture.
So off to www.MyMemories.com I go. The download instructions were clear and easy to follow. Your registration code is emailed to you, nice for me because I hate having to print receipts. Like most software, there is a reboot at the end of the installation so be sure to save anything you may have been working on.
The software is fairly straightforward and easy to use. I thought it had a Microsoft Office feel to it. Being that most everyone has at some point in their life used Office I think that is appealing to a broad base. There is also a handy online manual that has almost any question you can think of in there.
The basic software comes with about 30ish basic designer templates. I was thrilled when I found a treasure trove of free designer kits on MyMemories site. So if you don’t find what you are looking for in the initial download, search the site. There are some adorable kits for sale too. I thought they were reasonably prices, in most cases less than a paper pack at the store.
End result of my testing was me staying up to all hours of the morning creating various pages with our summer vacation pictures.

Remember our Soldier's at Christmas
The Christmas holidays are fast approaching. As you shop for Christmas greeting and gift cards don't forget to snap up a few extras for our boys overseas. Send a greeting to a soldier in Afganistan or Korea or a sailor with the 7th Fleet in the South Pacific or on board a ship of 2nd Fleet in the Med. If you don't have a specific soldier to send a card to, let us send one for you! We'll print an extra card and mail it direct!

Whooo’s getting ready for Halloween?
We are, of course! With the first day of fall and cooler weather upon us, it’s hard not to get into the spirit. The next few weekends are going to be jam packed with pumpkin patches, apple picking, hay rides and corn mazes. Being the crafty mom, I’m sure there will be many long nights in front of the sewing machine creating new costumes for the girls.
All of this is topped off by the best trick or treating party at Auntie Jeannie’s. We all gather at my sister’s with over filled bowls of candy, stickers and small toys. With a bon fire and apple cider to keep us warm, we set up camp in the driveway and wait.
Droves of monsters, witches, princesses and superheroes flood the streets with their sacks in search of loot. Only the brave dare to come up the drive without a costume, leaving (good naturedly) as a pile of silly string. We head inside to fill our tummies with chili only when the parade of characters retreats back from where they came; wrapping up yet another epic Halloween.
Check out Belle Announcements latest Halloween Invitations. They are spooktacular!
