Blurp photo books & Photoshop express

A company called Blurb makes some GREAT books at very reasonable prices.  They can also create a custom book for you from your blog.  It automatically "slurps" everything off your blog and then you can further edit the layout if you wish.  All you photographers out there with blogs . . .  what a great way to get your portfolio hard bound!  

Check it out! Thanks DesignMom for the tip.

Also, just found out about a new online photoshop program that is FREE!  It's called Photoshop Express. I haven't checked it out all the way yet, but it looks pretty cool.  It doesn't have all the features of Photoshop but for those of you who don't have it, or just want something to edit your photos a little- this could be great for you.  Check it out here.  You can also create a free gallery from your photos with your own exclusive web address free from Photoshop. Thanks Photojojo for the news.

City Wall Plaques

Love these wall plaques from Granda Design. 

My baby wrote me a letter . . .

I want to send these letters to myself!  You can type a word, pick from a few different fonts, and they'll send them to you either gift wrapped or economy.  They are coming from the UK and are priced by letter so might be a little pricey.  But, what a fun surprise to find in your mailbox. Check it out HERE.

Bubble Light

Here's a cool chandelier idea.  The top is from a company called Ochre the bottom is an adaptation on an Ikea light with instructions on how to build it at Apartment Therapy.

Serena and Lily

I just got a new catalog from Serena and Lily in the mail.  Wow!  Now I want to re-do all my kids rooms.  I love the graphic prints and pattern combinations.  I really like the letter pillows.  I think that'd be a great way to add some whimsy and "modern-up" any room.
