Get Those Fab Pics Off Your Phone and Share Them

How many fab photos do you have on your phone?  50?  100?  200+?

Time to release the pics from the imprisonment of your phone.  

Has your phone replaced your camera?  I used to lug my camera with me all the time but now I find myself using my cell phone to capture those can't miss moments.  Sharing pics on social media or via text is great but some of those pics are so fab they're worthy of something more special.  Those are the pics I use as greeting cards, calendars, and photo books.  



Recently, I checked out Collage.com and created photo books using pics from the twins' first homecoming dance and a trip with my parents to Virginia.  Check out this cover I created using magnified images of my eldest son's tie, his date's corsage and the tulle from her dress.  I added a title using their school colors and gifted it to the mother of my son's date.  
Personalized gifts like photo books are the perfect gift for the person who has everything.  Every Christmas I am challenged with finding the perfect gift for my mom's husband.  However, I always deliver one of a kind, truly unique, personalized gift which never fails to surprise.  One year it was personalized beer glasses, another year I surprised them with a brag book full of pics of all the grandkids and this year I gave them a tabletop photo book of their trip to Virginia.  

We took a ferry over to historical Smithfield, Virginia, strolled down Main St., dined at The Taste of Smithfield and visited the Smithfield Museum where we viewed the world's oldest ham and the largest ham among things.  A sight to see for this ham lover!  Plus we toured the historic city taking pics of all the "Piggies of Smithfield".  

Collage.com is just one of many websites I've used to create tangible items for my family and friends of those special moments in our lives.  Whether it's vacation memories, baby showers, trips to the park or the zoo, it's nice to have actual pictures to share.  Uploading pics from my cell phone or email takes just a couple of minutes and I can add text, frame pics, resize and edit to my liking.  

I love visiting my mom's home and seeing her photo book proudly displayed on her coffee table.  It's a wonderful topic of conversation and even at my age I love hearing her boasts "My daughter made this."

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
