TOTALLY off topic - but for you moms…

There’s this pastor who does these little videos and they’re really thought provoking.  His name is Rob Bell and the series is called nooma.  He just released a new one, and you can see it on facebook until noon on Wednesday.

Do yourself a favor and watch this!  Hang in there till the end, it’s very moving.  Confirms what I think we all know down deep somewhere - Motherhood is God’s work!

I think you probably have to have facebook to see it, but it’s worth it.  No matter what your religious convictions, there’s great food for thought there!

Quick Tip Time… but first…

Posted: July 29th, 2008 by bigscrapkitty

We’ve been really busy this week - we hosted a Girl Scout Troop from Michigan that was passing thru on their way to Disney World:

Then the Grandparents and a cousin are here this week, so we’re doing all the touristy stuff…

Mining for Gems at the Lost Sea:

(YES, Twila, we’ll take you there if you want! ) It’s cool, a cave you get a boat ride in, then they have a great little shopping village and for 5 bucks the kids can use the sluice to ‘find’ gems in a bag of dirt!

BUT… despite it all… DH made you guys a Quick Tip Tuesday over at Scrappers’ Workshop!!

Go take a look, and you’ll know why I keep that guy around!!

Happy Scrapping!

ok, this is just WAY beyond cool!

Add to that, the fact that 95% of the M&M’s sold in the USA are made ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE!!  I don’t know if they’re printing these there, but I’m gonna find out!

Set a Guinness World Record

Posted: June 13th, 2008 by daddykitty

Download Day - EnglishJenn and I love Firefox. Don’t know what Firefox is? It’s just the BEST internet browser our there! The reasons it’s better than Internet Explorer are many, but mainly it works better, we get way less spyware and bad stuff like pop-ups, and it renders web pages better.

Here to Guiness Record Part: on June 17, this Tuesday, Firefox 3 is being released and they want to set the record for most software downloads in 24 hour. We’re going to part of a record - why don’t you too!

Complete details at http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/.

Keep Scrappin!

Digiscrapping saves gas!

Gas Pumps

Just read this great article about gas prices and wanted to pass it along. (See it here). I know that Jenn and I are feeling the pinch at the pump but mostly we feel it buying food. Luckily we can take all the money Jenn used to spend on papers and spend it on gas and food! Help me out - I’m curious about what you’re paying. Leave a comment with:

+ Cost of a gallon of milk
+ Cost of a dozen eggs
+ Where you are (City, State, Country)

I’ll summarize the data in a later post. And thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

Quick Tip Tuesday - The ScrapKitty’s Famous

Posted: May 20th, 2008 by daddykitty

Bet you didn’t know this but Jenn, the ScrapKitty herself, was one of the key alpha testers of Adobe Photoshop. The team at Adobe was so grateful they actually included her in the credits:

I’ve got a wandering eye this week…

Posted: May 4th, 2008 by bigscrapkitty

Since DH took a look at Photoshop Express (and came basically to the same conclusions I did) I thought I’d look over some other editing programs that have come my way. Can’t hurt to cast an eye over the fence now and then!

The kind folks over at Scrapbook Max generously sent me a copy of their cute CD to play with, I’m sure in hopes that I’d tell ya’ll to run right out and buy copies for everyone you know! I played around with it, and I’ll have to give it a qualified thumbs up…
