Excuse the Mess
I am in the process of a re-design- things look a little wacky now but bear with me for a whole new site with lots of new features!
Internet Fun and Stress Relief
I admit it, I am an internet junkie! I can find something to do on the internet at any time, be it surfing youtube, scrapbooking, looking at funny pictures, I have done it! LOL The internet is my ‘home’ I love finding new sites, forums, places to play bingo online and people to meet. Playing games like bingo is so relaxing, just to sit back and think of nothing- no cleaning, bills, work, school, etc.
As long as you don’t neglect ‘real’ life to play online games then it is all good- find a place that relaxes you and use it- that is what they are there for. I stopped smoking on Thanksgiving and these online games have been a huge help- instead of stepping away for a smoke, I can step away and play a quick game or two. (and bingo does not kill you!)
What online games do you like to play- any you recommend?
2nd.MD – Medical Specialist Consultations Online
Thank you to 2nd.MD for providing me with a $200 stipend to test-drive this revolutionary online medical service.
I got the chance to get a consultation from a great doctor on 2nd.MD last week and after talking to my primary doctor today about everything he said, I can say with confidence that the service is very helpful. Once I logged onto the site I searched for a doctor with my main problems as keywords (insomnia, sudden dry skin, fatigue, mood changes) and found several that treated those problems. After reading about them all I finally chose Dr. Aron Tendler as he specialized in depression, insomnia, and hormone related problems. [Read more...]
Closed: Mixbook Photobook Review and giveaway!!
I had the wonderful opportunity to review the personalized photo books and special promotions at Mixbook. I got a 8.5×8.5 inch photo book printed and I was amazed at the quality! I even managed to work out a giveaway to one lucky reader (see bottom)!
The ordering process was super easy, just drag and drop pictures into the pre-made pages, or for digital scrappers just choose the full-page template and drag your layout to the book. The bleed areas were very small, the areas I thought would be cut off were not, and the ‘preview’ you get before you order was very accurate! I have pictures below to see the quality I need a better camera these pictures do it no justice. The colors were right on with what I expected; no tint or anything abnormal like I got with other printers in the past.
Oh, and even though it is the 8.5 inch size it seems at least an inch bigger than my 8 inch books as you can see in the comparison picture above. 8×8 seems too small, 12×12 too big, but I am loving this 8.5 inch size!
The Giveaway:
The great people at Mixbook have offered one reader a free 20 page 8.5×8.5 photo book! This giveaway is super simple- just tell me what you would print a book of in the comments and you get one entry. If you blog, facebook, or share this post online; leave another comment and I will add another entry. Good luck! (Giveaway Closed- Winner is Paula M.- Thanks everyone!)
