giveaway!

Jan 4th, 2012 by

Here’s something rare at the Old School–a contest. That doesn’t happen too often around these parts.

Since you’ve been such good students, the Damsel has been authorized to offer one lucky person an awesome gift–a copy of the scrapbooking program “My Memories Suite.” , a $39.97 value.

This program is pretty sweet. The Damsel was given a copy for a test drive, and she was quite impressed by its array of cool features. For those interested in digital scrapbooking, this program is top notch.

Digital scrapbooking fits the goal of the Old School fairly well–doing old fashioned things with a new twist. For the Damsel, the whole problem with this scrapbooking is not the desire…it’s just having the time to do it. So the Damsel thought she’d test how quickly she could make a page.

Understand that there are about a billion ways a person could make a scrapbook page–the options go on and on–but the Damsel had set herself a specific goal here. Speed. That’s it.

The Damsel hates to brag but she made this page in two minutes, using one of the application’s templates and a few highly adorable pictures of her grand-sprog.

Can the Damsel just say that she’s weary of contests where you have to do a whole raft of things in order to have a chance? **heavy sigh**  For this contest, you need do only two easy things.

1. Be a follower of this blog, via the Google Friend Connect button on the right sidebar or via RSS feed. All following instructions can be found by clicking the “subscribe” tab at the top of this page.

2. Leave a comment, making sure there is some way to contact you if you are chosen. If you follow this blog via email, you’ll need to click through to the site to leave a comment. The Damsel will look kindly upon you if you name an Old School post you’ve enjoyed, but it’s not required.

The contest will run until Friday, Jan. 6 at 10pm MST.

Also, any Old School student may have a  $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store – $20 value. Just enter code STMMMS92539.

Good luck!

  • Dianna

    I’ve recently discovered your blog…November 2011.  My favorite post so far was in December about the meat shops, old school style.  I was raised on a farm…we always butchered our own meat, and my hubby of almost 40 years was also accustomed to butchering when we married.  We don’t live on a farm, but we do know how to process meat when it comes our way.

    Should I be so blessed as to actually win this fantastic giveaway, I’d be happy to e-mail you my address.  I’ll be checking back Friday night! ;-)

    I’ve been following for nearly a year now, and I love it! I love sharing your post of how to keep a disposable razor sharp. Saying “strop” is quite fun, as well. Great giveaway! :)

    Love love this page you have done…What an adorable little girl…I am in the process of scrapbooking my childrens pics through the years, and I came upon the picture we took years and years ago with all us BYU roomies and our little ones at Cyndi’s home…Do you remember that?? The Old School “blog” I always remember were the literal “Old School” ones…When, as roomies, pretty much on a daily basis you taught lessons on everything from how to make the best cinnamon rolls to how to properly eat a juicy, fresh tomatoe!!! Those are the memories I will always cherish…

      Oh yes, I remember that! I would love to see that picture. I’m so glad you like the blog. I hope we can hang out again sometime and relive the great memories!

  • Sramageshaw

    Good luck to me. It looks like fun

    I’ve been following for a while but I just “joined” via Google friend connect. My fiance and I were talking about making our own laundry detergent when I remembered I had starred your detergent post earlier in the year. We’re going to try it out sometime this month. [email protected]

    I love browsing your blog when I get a chance!!  Good luck to everyone!!

  • Peggy

    I use a lot of information from your blog.  The most recent one I looked up to use again was how to make cake flour.  I am a long time ‘old school’ scrapbooker and would love a cool digital scrapbooking program!

    This is EXACTLY what I need. I keep thinking I need to do something but I wanted something digital. Great post. I also liked the post on hemming jeans. I just got a new pair and need to hem them. :)

  • Peaceloveandblueberries/Reima

    I have wanted something like this for so long! I’ve been trying to bring back my girly/creative side and this would be perfect!:) my favorite post from you was your easy homemade ricotta! I tried it out and it worked great! I actually really like all of your recipes and kitchen ideas! I’m trying to utilize my kitchen more instead of buying things already made. Thank you for all you do and what you post. :)

    OMG that is such an ADORABLE BABY!!!!! This is beautiful!  (sniff sniff.  my baby just got his drivers license yesterday.  He does not need me to change his diapers any more, but I may crap in my pants worrying about him!)
