Scrapblog Alert

I think it’s time to retire that double stick tape and those stencils and shaped scissors.

Just checked out this great new site, Scrapblog and “Wow!” it makes my scrapbooks look ancient.

The best feature by far are the QuickMixes. Just upload photos and drag and drop into one of their many templates. I love the fact that you can create a 20 page scrapbook in under 30 minutes. I can’t even begin to imagine the hours I spent on my “old-fashioned” albums.  A great resource and I get to clear out some extra space in the office.

The service is free of charge and you can upload the scrapblog to your blog or send online.  Printing is a nominal fee.

They also sell cards and calendars.

Love, love, love it!


Fresh Popped Popcorn

Nothing can beat fresh popped popcorn with a drizzle of melted butter and salt.  With just a tablespoon of oil per half-cup of kernals, 10 cups of perfect popcorn arrive in less than five minutes. We love the Cuisinart Easy-Pop Popcorn Maker. It’s nearly impossible to eat the microwave  brands anymore.

$70 from Williams Sonoma.

Bosch LiftMatic Oven – So Slick

Something for the next kitchen remodel – The Bosch LiftMatic oven.

Designed for convenient wall mounting, you put food on the oven’s tray, press the button, and Bosch LiftMatic oven will lift it up to your eye level and cook to perfection in several minutes. This oven has a quick-start function that gets it from room temperature to 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit) in five minutes. Its ceramic floor is very easy to clean, just wipe it with a damp cloth. The oven can be installed on the wall as a stand-alone or built-in. The lift’s length of travel downwards can be programmed, so that its ceramic glass field always lands exactly on the work surface or dining table. O

A bit pricey at $4,809, but no one can argue that it does not look sleek and stylish. More info from Bosch here.
