Thanksgiving Remembered

The greatest part of Thanksgiving is when we learn to carry the attitude of gratitude in our hearts every single day...

Just thought I'd share a little bit of the photos captured in memory of Thanksgiving 2010 :)

Yes, we all ended up so thankful by the end of the night as we were so blessed to spend quality time together, eating a huge delicious meal, and remembering all the wonderful things that we are fortunate to have. God has been very gracious to us all and we thank Him for the many blessing that He bestows upon our families and loved ones.

Now, we are anxiously looking forward to Christmas! Yay!

My FIRST Photo Book at Shutterfly :)

A few months ago, I saw this amazing deal from Groupon to purchase an 8x8 photo book from Shutterfly for only $10!! So of course, I jumped on it immediately and finally had the chance to create this photo book of our very first family vacation in 2007. I didn't create it using any digital scrapbook layouts (yet!), but since this is my first time creating a photo book, I decided to try out their Custom Path feature where all you do is add your photos and customize the page to your preference! I found it so easy to use and loved that you have such a variety of themes and background styles to choose from and also gives you the opportunity to even customize each page depending on how many photos you'd like to include per page. All this with just a click of a button! It's pure awesomeness!

If you follow Groupon whether on Facebook, Twitter, or on your smartphone app, sometimes deals like this is just too good to pass up!

So if you want to take a peek at it, here is the slideshow! Thanks for looking!
