Photo Storage and Birthday Giveaway Winner

Amy!! You're the winner of some yummy Amish treats!

If you're anything like me, you have a ton of pictures on your computer...

Well our poor little computer couldn't handle the 1000's of pictures we had on it, so I needed to get them off but wasn't quite sure how to store them. So I thought and thought and thought some more, which took me back to my Rec Therapy days at Tamarack. The school teacher there used this method for storing pictures of the kids. It's simple, but brilliant and cheap...

1st step: Weed through your pictures, deleting any you don't want or need

2nd step: Burn a cd of the photos, sometimes I did 1 month per cd, sometimes more

3rd step: Using your photo program of choice open the cd. I used both Google Picaso (free program... thanks Alisa!) and Adobe Photoshop (not so free, but a great Christmas present... thanks mom!) Photoshop was the best, the thumbnails were smaller and used less paper, Picaso thumbnails were much bigger, needing more paper. Most programs have a choice when printing to print thumbnails or a 'contact sheet.' Select this option and print away!

4th step: Grab a 3 ring binder and some page protectors, slide your contact sheets into the page protectors, along with your cd and you've got a terrific simple, but brilliant storage method for your photos!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

The winner with the most answers correct is... Lora! she answered 9 of the 10 questions correctly! Good choice to email your answers :) I'll be sending you the soup, chocolate, and apron. There were several of you closely followed with 8 out of 10 correct, but overall everyone stayed above 50% Nice job guys!

Wondering exactly how you did? Well here's the correct answers...

1. Tell me who's who? Micah on the Left Hallie on the right
2. Who usually rides "shotgun" (in the front) of the stroller? Bonus entry if you can tell me why! :) Micah usually rides shotgun cause he pulls Hallie's hair, Hallie pulls his hair also, but unlike her, he doesn't scream when it is pulled! Less screaming while were out the better! Only a couple of you nailed this one!

3. Who's feet are on the left and who's are on the right? Hallie's feet are on the left, Micah's on the right. Her feet are smaller and have a bigger arch AND if you look at the pants, her pants are fleece lined his were not! :)

4. Micah or Hallie? Hallie 110%

5. Micah or Hallie? Micah 120%
6. Who's older? Micah or Hallie? **Bonus entry if you can tell me how much older they are!**

Hallie is older by 1 MINUTE! That doctor was workin' fast!

These next 2 are courtesy of Ty and are tough! I even struggled! So good luck!
7. Micah or Hallie? After second glance not as hard as I thought, BUT still had to think about it :) The first is Hallie

8. Micah or Hallie? The second is Micah
9. Were they born in Richland, Pasco, or Kennewick? Pasco! Lora nailed this one with the description and all :) Because I worked for the Lourdes Network, we went to Lourdes Hospital... and it was great! The staff was wonderful!

10. Who walked first? Micah or Hallie? **bonus entry if you can tell me how many months they were when they started walking** :) Hallie started walking first, officially walking right after we got to DC making her almost 14 months old, Micah followed a couple weeks later :)

And now for the random winner straight out of the hat...

She gets the Super helpful "mommy hook!" (and chocolate of course!) which hopefully she will love as much as I do since she also has twins!

I'll send the packages early this week!

The Giveaway is FINALLY here!

Ok here it goes! 6 posts late, but better late then never, here's my thanks to you for all of your support and for following our lives and my ramblings :)

I wanted to play this little game for the Twinos first birthday, but didn't get around to it. So since this blog revolves mainly around the two cuties Micah and Hallie... we'll play it now!

Just post the answers to the questions below in a comment (or email staceymae81 [at] gmail dot com) by Midnight Sunday April 5th and I'll pick not 1, but TWO winners! The first going to whoever the smartypants is with the most right answers and the second going at random!

As for the prizes, one lucky winner gets some yummy tomato soup from La Madeline's, some chocolate goodies, and a super cute sewn by me apron :) The second winner winner (doesn't it sound way more exciting in two's!) gets a super duper life-saving mommy hook and because no prize is complete without them, some yummy chocolate goodies :)

So get crack-a-lackin' already! Micah wishes you good luck!
