My Memories Suite Giveaway!

Everyone knows I love making things for my family and that I also love taking pictures of everything. 

However, I hate srapbooking.  I've tried, my son's baby book is currently in a box, incomplete, he's 15 months old.  I love the idea of scrapbooking.  I go to the store, I buy a book and fun paper, I print out all of the super cute pictures.  Then nothing.  All I end up accomplishing is making a huge mess and having to clean up so I can make dinner.

Well, I have found the answer to my scrapbooking nightmares.  No mess, no clean up, and no need to stress out.  I can create and walk away! I also have great news for one lucky reader!

Award winning scrapbook software creators My Memories have offered one lucky reader a FREE   My Memories Suite Package!  My Memories Suite is rated #1 by amazon and TopTen Reviews for digital scrapbooking software and a $40 value.  Also as janiegirlcrafts followers you have your very own Share the Memories code that provides a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store - $20 value!  Just enter STMMS4155 (case sensitive) at checkout!

I wanted to take a minute and share the little album I started for my family.  This year we are having a "Homemade Christmas", this album will fit in perfectly.  I also plan to create our Holiday Card with this software, so keep an eye out.

I was amazed at how easy this software is to operate.  It uses the same shortcut commands as other software, such as Microsoft Word.  For example I am accustomed to using [CTRL Z] to undo the last action.  Guess what, I didn't have to retrain my brain, everything was second nature.  This software even offers autocorrect for those sloppy typers, like myself.

Starting a new Tradition!

 

The week or so before Thanksgiving I was asked to make a custom Christmas Bag for a little girl. Her mother had seen my Reversible Santa Sack on Etsy, and wanted to make something special for her little one. After discussing fabric styles and sharing a few examples we decided on a style and I started sewing. I finished up yesterday and loved it so much, and have enough fabric leftover, that I have decided to add them to my shop selection this year. If you are interested in this or a similar item, check out the info on this Christmas Bag!


I think I will make Max his very own bag as well, one bag filled with all of his toys.  I think these are great addition to our family's  Holiday traditions.  Oh and as a bonus to me, I won't have to pick up a bunch or wrapping paper this year.
Maybe I'll make one for Charlie as well?

A cute little girl in cute little skirts!

I just had to share these pictures! What a cutie!  This past week I traveled home for the holidays.  I think the highlight of my trip was chasing my niece Lizzy around with a camera.  She was a perfect model for some of the Christmas skirts now available at janiegirlcrafts.  Speaking of Skirts... make sure you check back on December 6 a special treat on this years skirt selections.
