Freebie Friday and 100 Celebration mixed into one!

Well I hit 100 fans on Facebook this week!! Yay! So to kick of the Freebie Friday Segment and to celebrate the new "fandom" I am teaming up with My Memories to give away a copy of the My Memories Suite V3. When I first started scrapping digitally when my Bird was only a few months old I started out using My Memories Suite V2. I absolutely loved it! So when I was asked to review the latest version I could not pass it up!

Things I Love:
~You do not have to know a single thing about digital scrapbooking! This program is SO user friendly! It even has preloaded templates for beginners, or if you just need to whip something together quick.
~It comes with papers, embellishments and more already loaded in!
~Loading in other kits is SUPER easy!
~Grey area:

See the grey area around the checkered paper? That is the area in the layout that may be cut out, or bound over when printing and binding your pages in books!

Over all I really love this program, it really helps simplify digital scrapbooking, and makes it easy for everyone to do! Here are a few pages that were made with it:

"6 moves to remove your love handles" {Pinercise}

Well yesterday, July 31st I did This pin from my Exercise Board:

It was way too easy, I was a little disappointed. I figured my sides might burn a little more, but they don't. So I added 50 crunches and 25 side leg lifts on each leg. I will be doing Zumba tomorrow, and Thursday I will repeat Monday's workout, and Friday I will repeat this one. So I will post again next Monday!  

"Great Quick Workout" {Pinercise}

So I have decided I really want to get back into shape. Technically I am not too over weight, only 5 pounds out of my healthy range for my height. I have noticed however I am becoming more and more dependent on my inhaler to make it through the day, and I think losing a few pounds and being more fit would definitely help. So I decided to start "Pinercise" posts, exercises I find on Pinterest! If you would like to see my exercise board you can view it here: http://pinterest.com/amspicer/exercise/ 

So today's work out. I thought it would be super easy, boy was I wrong. I don't know if I am just way out of shape or if it really was a work out, but it took twenty minutes, and I was sweating like crazy! Yum! Just kidding. I am not sure where I got this, it says I uploaded it to my pinboard, but I sure don't claim it!

I went ahead and searched each pose to make sure I was doing them right, so here they are:

Crunches:

Leg lifts:

(I wimped out and did side lifts instead)

Bicycles:

Squats:

Sumo Squats:

Calve raises:

Arm Circles:

Push ups:

Had to take a break! Upcoming Plans (Giveaway Info!)

I know I just had a HUGE blogging vacation, but I needed another one. It seems in the time I have taken off I have developed some eye issues. Reading, watching TV or being on the computer was giving me a bad headache. As of Friday my new glasses came in, and I can finally scrap without a headache! Yay me! So here I am with my new specs:

Its hard to tell but they are purple; I love color!!! 

So here is a plan! I have a giveaway coming up soon! I am waiting on the sponsor before I put that one up, but I can give you a coupon for them in the mean time!

Click the image above to go shopping, and input this code: STMMMS75870

I would recommend copying and pasting to make sure you get it right. That will save you ten dollars off your order!! 

I can tell you I have the original My Memories Suite, and loved it, and I am looking forward to playing with version 3!

Keep checking back in for the giveaway!!

Moving forward there are a few things I want to do.
