Well we made it! We made it through Thanksgiving and all the food and all the family. It was wonderful and exhausting and memorable, and I was never so happy to just come home and crawl into my own bed as I was yesterday afternoon. Traveling even a short distance and being out of place is a lot harder with a broken foot than I had anticipated! Who knew?
Today we are headed back to school and back to work, but we are not back to our regular scheduled programming on the blog. Do you know why?
Because it’s Jolly Goode Giveaway Week!!! (I just said that in my best Oprah voice, couldn’t you tell?) All week long I will be doing two things daily 1) Giving away some GREAT items and 2) Sharing info on GREAT non-profits that could use your help this holiday season!
This is just a small preview of some of the items that I am so excited to share with you, so make sure you come back EVERYDAY this week to see what is the Jolly Goode Giveaway of the Day!
Today we are starting with a great one – MyMemories Suite Software.
MyMemories Suite v4 is a fun and easy way to create scrapbooks, photobooks and more. The company gave me this exact software to give it a test run. Because I am not a scrapbook person (I know, shame on me) I was not sure what I would be able to do with this software, but I was excited to learn that all of the pages you create can be exported as JPEG’s. I have used this software to create both of the graphics above and the Timeline Banner on my new Facebook page. And I cannot wait to create more, it is slightly addicting once you get the hang of it. It is pretty user friendly and runs fast on my computer. I cannot speak to how things look once printed and bound, but so far I have loved using it for web use and have found it fairly intuitive.
You can also use this software (that you can download easily) to create the following:
Photobooks
MyMemories Suite will help you create your beautiful pages from scratch or you can build an entire album using one of the many professionally-designed templates provided within the software. A large collection of papers and embellishments are also included to help you make each page uniquely your own. Then use the share option within the software to turn your digital scrapbook into a professionally printed and bound book
Custom Gifts
MyMemories Suite will help you create your own project and then export them to create custom gifts. You can create iPhone skins, laptop skins, jewelry, magnets and more.
Printables
MyMemories Suite will help you create customized printable projects. You can create all kinds of printable boxes, decorations and gift tags like these above. There are many FREE downloadable templates, a Dollar Store and sales all the time.
Web Designs
Create Facebook Timeline Banners, Blog Banners, Etsy Store Banners and other for web graphics
Print directly from the software to your home printer or export and take your project to your favorite printer. MyMemories Suite lets you export your projects as JPG, PNG, PDF or SVG.
Share
Create an interactive project with music, narration, video and even the Internet with simple options. Then share your completed project on a DVD or as a slideshow.

Oh goody! I love Giveaways! My fave non-profit right now is Hope Coffee by Camino Global. I believe the website is http://www.hopecoffee.org Nothing like enjoying good coffee and knowing your money is going to help others!
My favorite non-profit at present is the Children's Tumor Foundation (www.ctf.org) They support and fund research into neurofibromatosis a genetic disorder which causes tumors to grow along various nerves inside the body. My niece spent 18 months in chemotherapy for a brain tumor caused by NF. She is doing well now, thank God and the CTF helps her and others like her. They do a really great job!
My favorit non profit is a local one in my area. http://www.forthekidsfoundation.org/
I'm happy and proud for all that they do.

I think my favorite non-profit would be Heifer Project, but also pretty partial to AR Rice Depot!
my favorite non-profit locally is vine and village, and internationally is paidia international. i love the work that they both do in their local communities and i think both are focused on making real, lasting change for people around them.
