Blog reconceptualization

I’m working on rethinking the direction of my Today’s Ellen blog so haven’t posted in awhile. I WILL be back soon however and would love some suggestions for video “how-tos” that you are interested in seeing in relation to fun options for photos.

Awesome Croc photo charms!

These are SO cute. I love my crocs and now I can put photos of my kids and puppy on them. How fun is that? Walmart Photo Centre has 2 size options. The smaller one is $7.97 and bigger is $9.97. I was thinking about fun little end of the season gifts for my daughter’s softball team. I’ve already taken photos of all the girls up at bat. I may have to take a poll and find out how many of the kids have/wear crocs or croc-like shoes! Super easy to make and with fun results…

More beautiful options to surround myself with water

I am obsessed with photographing water and have decided that I need to surround myself with water which is why I decided to go to the Costco Photo Center today and make a canvas print of another favorite photo I took of water last week to hang on my wall. I love water. I love looking at water. What do you think?

There are 10 size options at Costco Photo Center. Every size option you could possibly want. The process is intuitive which for me is essential since I have the attention span of a gnat most of the time. It took me less than 10 minutes from uploading the photo, dragging and dropping the photo into the spot and adjusting it, then clicking add to cart. Wow, cool and soon I’ll have yet another inspirational photo of water on my wall. Pretty soon, my house will feel like the ocean or a river or just watery. It will make me smile I love to smile…

Sweet photo gifts for Father’s Day or Dad’s Birthday

It’s a show and tell day with some cool photo gifts I made with photos of the kids for their Dad for Father’s Day and his birthday. I made a dopp kit at the Costco Photo Center using of a fantastic photo I took of the kids. Then I made a photo tie at Sam’s Club Photo Center with a fun, crazy dress up photo I took of the kids when they were goofing off. Check out the video (note my kids being silly in the background)…

Oh, and the foam photo puzzle I referred to is from Walmart Photo Centre…came out so cool!

My April Scrapbook Page

Here is my April scrapbook page I made at the CVS photo center. Clean and simple! Can’t wait to put a year’s worth of 8×8 pages in a book. Hmmm…who will get THAT gift. I’ll have to look for a cool book to put them in. Ideas are welcome.

My fun, silly poster collage from my facebook profile pics

I don’t know what came over me, but I thought it would be fun to make a photo collage of all of the random profile pics I’ve used on facebook. Sam’s Club made it super easy for me by having a button you press to pull your facebook photos in. All of the albums you’ve created in facebook magically appear in your Sam’s Club account. I just hit select all on my profile photo album and….oh, wait…I’m going to show it!

Facebook photos? Sam’s Club Photo site? Cool…

Loving this options. I think ALL sites that offer you options to make photo gifts should have the option for you to upload your photos from Facebook. If you look at the #’s of photos uploaded to Facebook every day, you’ll see how smart Sam’s Club is for providing customers with the option to easily pull your photos in to make cool stuff! In the video you’ll see how simple they’ve made it for us photo/facebook obsessed peeps…

Kids dressed up for a photo necktie for Father’s Day

I’ve been trying to get ahead this year in my gift creating. One way I can feel less like I’m constantly “flying by the seat of my pants.” So when I asked the kids for some ideas for what to give their Dad for father’s day, I was excited that they came up with a necktie. I was even more excited when I went to the Sam’s Club photo site and saw that for under $20, we could get him a necktie with the kids photo on it. I had some great pictures from one of their many dress-up sessions and knew he would LOVE it so here it is…

And here’s the awesome photo that he will be proudly wearing all over his new addition to his “dress up” clothes…
