The Very First Giveaway

ENDED!

Exactly 14 days ago the new year started. This is the very first post in 2012. I think it should be something special, don't you think?  Recipe posts are here quite often but giveaway hasn't been there yet. So it's time to change that!

So what will I give away you ask? Have you ever heard about My Memories Suite? It's software rated #1 by Amazon and TopTen Reviews. Using this software, anyone can create digital scrapbooks, photobooks, cards, calendars and gifts without having to buy expensive and complicated software programs. My experience with My Memories Suite was pretty awesome. I love editing photos, creating photo calendars, postcards etc. but sometimes I find it quite hard and time consuming because I have to use at least 2-3 different programs to create one single scrapbook page. However, My Memories Suite makes it pretty easy! You can create everything in one program, no further knowledge in IT thingies is needed :) It's really fool proof and it can be also extremely fast! There are many pre-made templates but of course, you can make yours from scratch, too! This takes a bit more time, especially for the first time because there are so many features to choose from :D


The features include frames, shapes, backgrounds, texts, pictures, imprints and much more :) My sister really enjoyed editing photos of herself in it (she's also into vampires and goth stuff :D), here's one example:


Mine is here (apparently I prefer brighter colors and girlie thingies unlike my sis'):


It's my first creation so it's not perfect and I haven't browsed through all the features as there are so many of them :D Anyway, now you have the chance to get this software for free thanks to My Memories!

  3. OK, I read this blog for a while now as you're one of my fellow Daring bakers. Anyway, as a technical retard I didn't realize I can follow... Ooops... :-/
    Thanks for introduction of My Memories Suite, never heard of that before. It's so cool! I love Turkey Talk Template (basically anything that reminds of food), Man Cave Template, both Sea Inside Templates but my most favorite one would be Page Builder 5.
    Regarding my most favorite recipe: I certainly haven't tried all of them but Apricot Almond Thumbprint Cookies rule! It was a shine star of this year's Christmas feast and I owe a big THANK YOU for them!
    All the best in 2012.

  5. It appears that you and your sister have different interests ;) I like the Living Life template. I am sorry, but I like all your recipes. OK, I'll choose one, but only because I have to. Among your recent post, I really enjoyed reading about the Vanilla crescents. Your blog is already in my reader, which means I am following you. Good luck on your first giveaway!

    1. Yes, you're right! Sometimes I'm a bit afraid that she's a bit too much on the dark side :D I'm so glad you like all of them :D Anyway, Vanilla crescents are a good choice :D Thank you!

  7. I'm happy to participate in your giveaway. I'm a city girl but "Vintage Farm" caught my attention. :)

    And now to choose your recipe...that was an unfair question! Anyway, since this is required, I'll go for the Orange Almond Cookies With Dark Chocolate because they are responsible for my stumbling upon your blog.

    I've been a follower for a while now.

    1. Thanks for participating :) I'm a city gilr too but the template is really cool :D I apologize for the question :D I'm just so curious :D

  8. I'm just returning from vacations to this pleasant surprise... how cool!
    If I had to choose among so many beautiful templates, I would pick Ice Cream Sundae Frames, so cute!
    Now, choosing a favorite recipe from your blog is so difficult! They are all so amazing! Ok, I will choose the Maple Cocoa Spiced Cookie Egg Shells with Maple Mousse, not only because it is a true work of art, but because the idea of making chocolate egg shells using cookie dough was a fantastic idea, and I loved it so much!
    I'm a follower already but will be very pleased to be a subscriber as well!

    Wishing you lots of success!

    1. You're welcome :) The cake is a great choice if you're a pear lover :D As for the lack of pear recipes, yes, I did - and it's not only matter of pears - the same applies to red currant or even black currant :(
