I am signed up as an affiliate with a variety of companies and have links to them here; I am an affiliate with Panstoria, Cricut, Shutterfly, Wedding Paper Divas, Tiny Prints, and several check companies.  The fun thing about the check companies, besides saving money on your checks, is that you can put your own pictures on your checks! Ask me to show you mine when you see me. I may also be able to find other discounts if there is something specific you want, just contact me and I will see what I can find for you.  I get emails with discounts all the time and honestly cannot and will not send out emails as often as the companies do – you would hate me if I did!! (Some links are on the right side of the page and some are way down at the bottom of the page.) Be sure to click thru from my site! Feel free to pass my info on to your friends and family too!

A few page or blog updates

• I made the home page easier to navigate by only having the most recent post show on it! This way you don’t have so far to scroll down to get to see the links at the bottom. I have added information on Panstoria’s latest version of Historian on the Software for Scrapbooking and Photo Editing Page.
• For anyone needing any invitations or announcements for weddings, showers, or any other special events be sure to check out the links listed here for Tiny Prints and Wedding Paper Divas. They have a nice variety of products and each link should take you to a page listing the current discounts.
• I’ve added a new link to BorrowLenses on the right side of the page. We rented a lens from them four years ago when we wanted a longer lens to be able to take better photos of whales on Maui. You can browse the largest online selection of photo and video gear available for rent on BorrowLenses.com. Rent camera bodies, lenses, lighting kits, and more via their easy to use website navigation or search for a specific item in our search bar. Be sure to check it out!

Watch for more updates soon!
