Very cute link in this blog post to subscribe to some free printables, including this conversation starter game. I think it looks great even if you don't have kids. Good for game night or just a slow chatting night.

I share Holly's fond affection for a clean slate in a new year. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE her living room. Seriously. Love it. I shall live vicariously through her rearrangement. {Our living room is shaped so that our furniture fits only one way. Kind of sad.}

Several years ago, this guy was my neighbor at work. Our offices were next door to one another and I can't tell you the number of days he kept me from losing my ever-loving mind in that world of numbers. He and his wife have two kids and have felt led to adopt to grow their family and posted this update this week. I'm sharing it in case you feel led to pray for them - but also for other families trying to bring home kids and give them homes!

Saw this one on my friend Mrs. Mast's Facebook feed this week - haven't heard these girls sing in years. But this one gave me goose bumps AND made me desperately wish I could sing!!!

I hope we can still be friends now that you've seen this picture. I know animals touching people dishes really freak out some people and if you're one of them - I'm so sorry! I'll use paper plates when you come over! But it cracks me up that she drinks milk like this. Scoop...and lick. Scoop...and lick.

My friend Diane had a birthday this week, and she loves lighthouses, so for her gift, I took one of the lighthouse pictures from our cruise and added a verse - and framed it. I loved the way it turned out. Might have to print out one for myself!!

Do you use your online scrapbooking program to add text to a photo like that? And then does that same company print it for you, or can you have it printed locally?
Thanks!
Yes and no! How's that for an answer? :)
Picaboo is the online scrapbooking program I use, and I did this very same technique on our Christmas cards, using Picaboo. I uploaded our photo into their program so the entire photo WAS the card and then I added text on the side. Picaboo printed those cards and mailed them to me.
This time, I just used the photo editing program that is on my computer (Picasa) and added text onto the photo and then had it sent to Walgreens and printed there.
Hope that helps!
That is a really lovely birthday gift. And it is so personal for your friend which is awesome.
