Personal Scrapper Scrapbook Pages

As some of you may know, we got a lot of snow yesterday here in RI so we stayed in all day.  I decided it was the perfect day to sit down and scrapbook.  As part of my Holiday Gift Guide, I reviewed and gave away some Personal Scrapper scrapbook kits.  So I pulled out my kits that I not only received for review but also the other 2 that I decided to buy as well to try and catch up!   I love to scrapbook and Erica's kits make it so much easier since everything coordinates. I wanted to share with you all the 18 pages I created yesterday.  Everything on these pages are from the kits from Personal Scrapper.  The only thing I needed was adhesive and a paper cutter.   And I have a TON of product...

Last Minute Gift Idea… TiVo Premiere

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TiVo. All opinions are 100% mine. Watching TV is my time to unwind at the end of the day. Let's face it, there are a LOT of good shows on TV.  At least I think so, but it's impossible to watch them all because my busy life doesn't allow me to always sit down whenever I want, or perhaps I just can't get the TV to myself.  So being able to record a show for later viewing is a Wonderful concept to me! This is where TiVo Premiere comes in VERY handy!  You can record shows and then watch them whenever you want!   But what makes this better than a DVR from the cable company?  Well not only can you record shows but you can also stream movies...
