My Cutie!

a new record

First, I hate blogging without pictures. "My" computer at home is only useful for getting online. I don't even have sound or software. It was Jordan's bachelor computer and all he did was play those ridiculous games on it. Also, all of our pictures are on the Mac (Jordan's laptop). I'm not complaining, because I used to not even be able to get online without J's computer. But, I can't do any fun stuff unless I can "borrow" the laptop...which is hard to do since he works full-time and is in two graduate school classes this semester. So, that leaves you, the reader, with either 1) no posting, or 2) just a bunch of words from me.

Well, today is your lucky day....you are getting the second option!

NOW that we've gotten that all out in the open.....

I just wanted to say that Jordan and I put up our Christmas tree in record time last night!! I didn't actually time it, but everything that usually causes a problem went smoothly. So smoothly that we are a little cautious that the whole thing will just collapse at any moment. But it hasn't...and we're excited. And, (true confession), the thing that took the longest was finding the plug!!!! Ha!

Maybe when Jordan finishes all his papers and takes a day off work, you'll get to see our tree. Until then, know it looks great!! Now, I've got to tackle the rest of the house. We have our annual Holiday Open House on the 6th. It will be here soon!

Have a great day, bloggies. I'm gonna go crank the music and get busy. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....."

Free Giveaway!!

I read lots of blogs that do giveaways and always thought it would be fun to do, too! So...courtesy of Oprah....I have my first FREE giveaway to announce.

It is a FREE photo book from Snapfish.com!!!

Her show yesterday was about decluttering and organizing your home. Her expert, Peter, offered a great solution to all the treasured art work kids bring home from school. He said to take digital pictures of the art and then upload them to Snapfish and print them out in a nice book. Great idea, huh?! Because of my (and Oprah's) generosity, I'm passing that idea on to you for FREE!! :o) What can I say, it's the holiday spirit!!

Go to Oprah.com and register (or LogIn if you're already a member) with Snapfish.com. You have do to this before Midnight on Friday. This will automatically give your account a photobook credit (value $29). You have until Sunday to make your book and place your order! So get busy, gals!!

Here's the great part...it doesn't have to be a book of children's art work...think of the possibilities...and Christmas gifts...you could make. A book for your favorite vacation, baby's first year, 2008 Album, something for the grandparents. I'm really excited to do this and just had to share this FREE idea will all my bloggies!!!

Hopefully, Oprah and I can team up and offer you more great deals for the holidays!! Have fun! And remember, you heard about it here! :o)
