Going Back to Europe?

Our family is deciding if we should venture across the pond and take another trip to Europe.  My parents went with a tour group in 2008 and my sister, Erika, and I went in 2011 to World Youth Day.  Erika and I spent about four days in Italy and nine in Spain.  I would really like to go back to Europe but mainly back to Italy because I didn’t get to spend much time there.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip Erika and I took in 2011.

Selling on Etsy!

Guess what?  I've started selling my photo slideshows on Etsy. To find my store just search for: signaturedesignvideo. There are a total of six choices of slideshows you can choose from. Three are in digital format and three are in DVD format.

The reason there is such a pricing difference between a five-minute slideshow with a DVD and a five-minute digital slideshow is because the cost of using royalty-free music is fairly expensive.  The advantage of a digital photo slideshow is that you can put it on the Internet. With a DVD, due to copyright laws you cannot put it on the Internet. 

Flickr and My New Mobile Website

My sister, Erika, suggested I start uploading all my pictures on to Flickr in case there was I fire and I told her the first thing I’m grabbing if there is a fire is my external hard drive.  But I did as she suggested.  My file sizes were fairly large so it took most of the day but I now have 171 albums that are separated by year and sometimes event.  Since November, I have either scanned the slides or negatives or scanned the actual pictures of all these photographs.  You also can make it private so that no one can see your photos or download them.  You just have to go to settings and make sure all the privacy setting you would like are in place.  So now I’m safe if there is a fire and I don’t have time to get my external hard drive.  I’ll just lose everything else I have on it.

Yesterday I created a mobile website so you no longer have to zoom in a lot and read small typeface.  The address is www.msignaturedesignvideo.com.  It took me a while to understand the interface to creating the site but I’m pretty proud of it.  For someone who hasn’t created any websites before and now creating two on my own I feel very accomplished.

Happy Birthday!

I want to say a happy belated birthday to my Dad! Even though we don’t often seen eye to eye on things, I still love you.  You were the person that took me to all my early KU Basketball games and when I would stay up late and Erika would be asleep; we would go on our little adventures to the bulk candy aisle. 

I also want to say happy belated birthday to my Grandma Bette.  Yesterday would have been her 92^nd birthday.  I know you and Grandpa Jim are looking down on us.
