A Happy Halloween Give Away!

Today is my youngest grandson's first Halloween!  He and his older brother are dressing up as Super Heroes, along with their Mommy and Daddy.  I always enjoy seeing entire families dressed up in costumes as they accompany their children from house to house for Halloween "trick or treat" .... sometimes even the family dog is in costume!  The snowstorm that hit the North East this weekend had very little effect on where I live in Brooklyn, so I'm expecting a busy afternoon giving out Halloween treats, and I'm also excited to offer a special MY MEMORIES FREE DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK give away treat to all of my readers today!



I was able to make this darling photo scrapbook page of my grandson's recent visit to their local pumpkin patch using the My Memories digital scrapbook software. My Memories Suite is the #1 rated scrapbook software and the best seller at Amazon for a reason. It is affordable and easy to use. When the folks at My Memories offered to let me try out their software I was so excited!  As you can imagine, I have so many digital photos of my grandsons, yet I have not been good as I had hoped at keeping up with having them printed out to make a scrapbooks with them. Now I can easily make digital scrapbook pages, and have them printed out up to 12x12 size at home, or send them out for professional printing.  It's a nice way to use multiple photos on one page as well as journal a story about the photos. The software was easy to install and use. The page above was my first attempt!



Just look at how easy it was to scrap my two little Halloween Super Heroes in a page I made last night! I can even turn my digital scrapbook pages into a movie to watch on a DVD, view on an iPod, or post them as a movie on my facebook page -- all with the click of a button!  I am going to have lots of fun exploring all the options this software has to offer, such as making greeting cards, calendars, posters or trading cards, and bound photo albums.


Please watch this short video to see how easy it is to use My Memories Suite, or click this link

    What a great Halloween giveaway!! But I'm hopeless trying to load and learn things like this, I haven't even been able to learn Picasa or Photoshop yet. Plus I won your last giveaway, so I will pass on this one.

    Good morning Pat, I am very interested in this program. I have been gathering stuff to do memory books for my children and my grands for Christmas. My biggest problem is I have hundreds of digital photos and it would mean printing them. I am so excited about this program. It was meant to be for me to visit you this morning. Smile. I will use the discount if I don't win. This is a great giveaway. Thanks!!!

    Your little G-boys are so darling in the Super Hero costumes. I too love to see the parents and children all dressed up for Halloween. When my children were young I always dressed up to give out candy. Usually a pumpkin costume I made when I was pregnant with the last baby. He arrived Nov. 4th so you can imagine I was the perfect pumpkin. HA!

    XO, Jeanne

    You are so blessed with your precious grandchildren. I still have the two granddogs, Pat.

    Am busy trying to get to India. The house is almost empty and I think I'll make my scheduled departure out of L.A. on Nov 14, stopping off for two days in Seoul. My six month stay is shortened to five months but I should get to see and do plenty in that time. No give away for me this time but I know it's a wonderful treat.
