The problem with going to someplace like the Forbidden City is that you end up with so many incredible pictures, it’s hard to choose which one to use for your Christmas photo greeting cards. Unless of course you’re like Sam.
Sam is a college student I ran across who came across the opportunity to do some […]

Don’t forget about your pets this year when you take pictures for your photo Christmas cards. Especially remember to include your six legged cat or three eyed frog. I know it sounds like something you’d only see on The Simpson’s, but it really does happen. For example…
Recently this little kitten, named Hex, was shown on […]

I sure hope that 69-year old Florida gal, Sandy Frosti remembers to do her photo greeting cards this Christmas. Because she has a picture to brag about that none of her friends or family can say they have.

You may have noticed there are fewer religious messages (or any acknowledgement of the Saviors birth at all) on Christmas greeting cards these days.

This past week my family and I have been filming and piecing together a short 2 minute film for a video competition to win a trip half way around the world. My son, having caught the Indiana Jones bug, wants to do an Indiana Jones theme. As we’ve been filming I’ve discovered some things that […]

Recently with the warm weather, the kids have been leaving the doors wide open as they run in and out of the house. With that, I’ve noticed we suddenly have many uninvited eight legged visitors. As of last night I believe little furry four little friends have invited themselves in as well. Time to bring […]

If you’re taking a Christmas trip to Disneyland in California, you may as well stay a little longer and head down the road to Knott’s Berry Farm. Christmas at Knott’s Berry farm can bring back all those warm fuzzy old fashioned Christmas feelings. Besides, who can resist a picture with Snoopy and the gang?!
