Fantastic reviews and giveaways for photo gifts!

I’m having so much fun with these cool bloggers setting up reviews and giveaways. I said last year at BlogWorld Expo that I’ve never met a nicer, more outgoing, friendly group of people and I continue to meet more peeps that I would love to hang out with in person!

Here are some more great opportunities to get a head start on holiday gifts (or b’day or anniversary or anything really)…

Here’s one from Jill at Frugal Plus that expires tomorrow so get over there to win a collage poster from Costco, a photo book from CVS or a velvet photo book from Sam’s Club. Jill made some really cool products and turned a photo book into a personalized recipe book!

Here’s another fabulous review and opportunity to win a a CVS photo book, a Sam’s Club personalized calendar, or a Sam’s Club photo collage from Ruminations of a TwentySomethingMomma. Wait until you see what she created of her little cutie patooties! Her giveaway is going right now and expires on October 1.

I love this site! Kristen at Goodie Goodie Gumdrops made an awesome CVS photo book of her sweet baby boy commemorating his first year. She did a great review of the process of making one and is offering a free photo book from CVS to a lucky winner. Get over to her site by October 3 to enter!

More to fun reviews and giveaways to come for all sorts of great photo projects over the next month. Can’t wait to see more of what these creative peeps can make!

The beauty of a gift is watching it given

My photo calendar came today for my daughter. Watch me giving it to her (Note: after she said on video that she didn’t want to be on the internet, she asked me to post the video and she’s seen it and gave permission)

I’m so excited for her and my son. His arrived last week! Now they’ll know on their own when they have days off, special dates and other activities.

Cool personal calendar for the kids.

I’m finally getting to creating a custom calendar for my kids on the Sam’s Club photo center site. I started with my sons as you can see here…

I love the personalizing I could do, not just with photos but with text too! I added test throughout the year for birthdays, school vacations, school events, etc. It’s going to be awesome to have the kids be able to track things they want to remember!

Here’s a quick glimpse of the text adding feature…

Photo calendar idea for kids “back to school” organization

I thought this would be fun and cool for my kids especially since they are going back and forth between my house and their dad’s. They can track their soccer practice/game schedules, any school projects due too and when their breaks are, etc. Plus, look at cool pics each month! I’m having some fun on the Sam’s Club Photo site this week!
