Sunday Exhortations: Around the Manger

November 27, 2011 By 1 Comment

Today marks the first Sunday in the advent season to prepare for Christmas.  I really enjoy advent as it prepares my heart and mind for Christmas.  It’s so easy to get caught up in the busy hustle and bustle of the season, finding the next deal, decorating, going to the parades and parties.  We need to be intentional and take the time to be filled with the wonder and awe of Christmas.

Over the past few years I have come to really appreciate the variety of resources that remind me of the story of redemption that God has been working since sin entered.  Dr. Sinclair Ferguson, senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC, gave one of my favorite sermons in 2007 titled “Around the Manger: Mary” from Luke 1:26-38.   If you haven’t listened to Dr. Ferguson he has a lovely Scottish accent.  More importantly, Dr. Ferguson reminds us of the significance and wonder that “love came down at Christmas”.

As the advent season begins, I encourage you to take the time to delight and be amazed by the glorious gift of Christ!  I pray that you find this sermon encouraging as you too prepare for Christmas.  If you have others you have found encouraging, I’d love for you to share those in the comments!

Review and Giveaway: My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbook Software

November 23, 2011 By 45 Comments

I have never really been a scrapbooker as I can honestly say I am not very artsy/crafty.  Oh there are occasions when I can find a project within my limited art gifting but I was always overwhelmed by the prospect of putting together a whole scrapbook without making it look like my 3 year old created it.  I’ve come to truly appreciate the different photo sites that help you to create professional quality photo books that look, well, professional.  So when I was contacted by My Memories to review and giveaway their My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking (version 3) software I was thrilled!

Their software, by Polaroid, allows you to create digital scrapbooks, photobooks, cards, calendars and photo gifts.  What I am most excited to use it for is to make cards!  I had hoped to be on the ball to have Lil Dude’s birthday invitation ready but decided to wait a bit till we get a bit closer so the picture is most recent.  As mentioned before, I love that one way I can carry on my my mom’s legacy is by making personalized invitations for Munchkin’s birthdays, and now Lil Dude.  In the past I’ve turned to various printing and photo services to create the invites but now I’ll be able to use the My Memories Suite.

I’ve played with the scrapbook templates and there are a variety of designer templates included in the MyMemories Suite that have 4 to 32 pages.  Since I’m relatively new to the digital scrapbook world I really appreciate all the video tutorials they offer on their blog!  If I’m having trouble figuring something out there are plenty of tutorials to direct me to the right place.  There are also a TON of additional kits that you can purchase if you had something else in mind or find a designer you just love.  Prices are reasonable and it seems like this is a great way to save money if you already like to scrapbook.

To get a better idea of what all you can do with the My Memories Suite watch the video below.

YMMV! $20 off $50 at Overstock.com

November 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

**UPDATE**  Goodness, I wasn’t fast enough!  I didn’t realize this was a one day only coupon and didn’t get it posted before midnight last night.  My apologies!  I will post any similar deals I find in future.  Again, sorry for the flub!

Just wanted to let y’all know of a great deal I was able to get last night!  There is word out that folks are receiving emails from Overstock.com with coupons for $20 off $50 purchase.  I didn’t receive this email but I found the Melissa and Doug Puppet Theater is listed at $59.99!  I went to the Contact Customer Care page and clicked “chat”.  I then told the representative that I was interested in purchasing item X for my daughter.  I had others had said they had received a coupon for $20 off $50 and would they be so kind as to give me the coupon as well.  And they did!  They did have me proceed with checkout and then give them the order number.  After order was processed they credited my funding source with $20.

Please, keep in mind this deal is very much Your Mileage Will Vary depending on your customer service rep.  If there’s something you’ve been looking for at Overstock.com, it’s worth a shot.

So I was able to purchase the Melissa and Doug Puppet Theater for only $39.99 with free shipping and no tax!  Munchkins is going to think she has the best Poppa in the whole wide world!  hehe.

Also, don’t forget to shop through Ebates to earn an extra 2% cash back!  Not much but a little something is always nice and does add up as shop. .  :)   If you’re new to Ebates, sign up here to start earning cash back when you shop online.  You will earn a $5 after you make a minimum of qualifying purchases totaling at least $25.00 within 90 days signing up.

Review & Giveaway: Tropical Traditions Moisturizing Cream

November 22, 2011 By 119 Comments

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review another product from Tropical Traditions!  When deciding what product would be best to review I only had to look at my dry and cracked skin on my hands.  My hands are always dry as the weather gets colder and now combined with the constant washing of bottles, they are in desperate need of some deep moisturizing.  Tropical Traditions graciously sent me their Moisturizing Cream in Lavender scent.  This cream is made with 100% natural ingredients including virgin coconut oil and virgin palm oil.

I have used many lotions over the years with varying success but have not tried a moisturizing cream until now.  First, let me say the lavender scent is simply lovely.  It’s distinct but not overpowering, like the scent of the small breeze blowing through a field filled with lavender flowers.  Love it!  Might not be the best choice for men, but it’s definitely a lovely feminine scent.  Tropical Traditions describes their cream as ” especially useful for very dry skin. Highly concentrated, they work well for overnight use, and are great for massaging into the skin.”  My hands definitely qualify for the “very dry skin” and I have applied several times for overnight use.  I did find it to be rather oily at first application, however, the label tells the user to allow time for cream to absorb into your skin.  I find that once I apply the cream I need to just not touch anything for at least 5 minutes.  Perhaps I just need to learn more tricks for laundry but I am forever getting oil stains on my clothing.  I’d like to get a pair of cotton gloves to wear after applying the cream to get a deep moisturizing during the night.

Overall, if you are looking for deeply moisturizing cream that smells just lovely, I recommend Tropical Traditions Moisturizing Creams!

Buy It!

You can purchase Tropical Traditions Moisturizing Creams here.  Retails for $19.50 but currently on sale for $13.50!

Win It!

Tropical Traditions has graciously offered one Considering the Fields reader a 4oz Moisturizing Cream in scent of winner’s choice.
