Mixbook Review...


I am so excited to share my Mixbook review with you! I had so much fun and spent hours on the site designing some family photo albums. I am so impressed with the finished products!


Mixbook's customizable photo books are easy to make for any occasion.  We added our own pictures and picked from lots of different layouts, backgrounds, stickers and more. I love that you can have your image print over a two-page spread. It's great you can also customize the book spine with a title. They even have new leather cover options for their photo books!

    Mixbook also offers other great options like Photo Calendars, Birth Announcements, Invitations, and Stationary, Digital Scrapbooking, Yearbooks, Group Gifts, and more! 


    The photo albums we got are high quality and look so good and professional! It was fun adding words to the pages to make the book even more personal. What a perfect gift idea for family and friends!


    We love that Mixbook has a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee - If you are unhappy with your product in any way, they will make it right and replace it for free!


    We are excited to make more items soon! Thank you so very much Mixbook for the amazing products and customer service!

    TOOTH FAIRY 2 arrives on Blu-ray and DVD March 6...

     LARRY THE CABLE GUY STARS IN THE HILARIOUS ALL-NEW FAMILY COMEDY 
    Get Ready For Laughs in spring’s funniest fish-out-of-water comedy with heart starring everyone’s favorite tough guy (…in a tutu!)
    TOOTH FAIRY 2 On Blu-ray and DVD March 6
     
    We are so excited for this to come out and can't wait to see it! Come visit my Tooth Fairy 2 post HERE of my exciting trip of me being on the movie set!

    The comedy with bite is back and funnier than ever, TOOTH FAIRY 2 arrives on Blu-ray and DVD March 6 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The one man comedy phenomenon Blue Collar Comedy Tour’s Larry the Cable Guy (Cars, Cars 2, and History Channel’s Only in America) sinks his teeth into this outrageous follow-up to the 2010 theatrical hit Tooth Fairy.

    Larry Guthrie (Larry the Cable Guy) is a fun-loving dreamer with a serious mission: win back the love of his life before she makes a terrible mistake and marries the wrong man!  In his attempt to get back on his long lost love’s good side, Larry visits the school where she works and make’s a horrible mistake…  He accidentally tells a child that the Tooth Fairy is just a myth.  Crushing the child’s dreams sets off a chain of events that are far more than Larry bargained for including being  “sentenced” to become a Tooth Fairy or face  having his memories erased for good…PLUS losing any chance of getting back the girl of his dreams!  Larry is brought before a 500-year-old Tooth Fairy stuck in a 10-year-old girl’s body (played by newcomer Brady Reiter) for sentencing.  The Tooth Fairy demands that Larry make retribution by temporarily serving as a Tooth Fairy and proving that Tooth Fairies really do exist. His mission?  Larry must collect 20 teeth in 20 days. With his orders in hand, Larry embarks on a journey to prove the existence of Tooth Fairies and to win back the love of his life.

    It’s tutu times the laughs watching Larry strut his stuff in pink tights and ballet shoes as he tries to prove he can git-r-done!


    Filed with tons of heartwarming laughs for the entire family, the TOOTH FAIRY 2 Blu-ray and DVD includes five fun featurettes you and your family will not want to miss including the following:

    MIRROR MIRROR IN THEATERS MARCH 30....


    MIRROR MIRROR IN THEATERS MARCH 30

    Cast: Julia Roberts, Lily Collins, Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane

    About the Film:

    This spectacular reimagining of the classic fairy tale stars Oscar® winner Julia Roberts as the Queen, Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as Prince Alcott, Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones”) as the King and Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) as the Queen's hapless and bungling servant, Brighton. When an evil queen steals control of Snow White’s kingdom, the exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright. Mirror Mirror is a spirited adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance and betrayal that will capture the imagination of audiences the world over.

    Visionary director Tarsem Singh (Immortals) rewrites fairy tale history as a wicked enchantress (Roberts) schemes and scrambles for control of a spirited orphan’s (Collins) throne and the attention of a charming prince (Hammer). When Snow White’s beauty wins the heart of the prince that she desperately pursues, the Queen banishes her to the forest, where a ravening man-eating beast hungrily awaits.

    Rescued by a band of diminutive highway robbers, Snow White grows into an indomitable young woman determined to take back her realm from the treacherous Queen. With the support of her subjects, she roars into action in an epic battle that blends spectacle, magic and contemporary humor in Singh’s signature, jaw-dropping visual style.





    Here is a cute printable Valentine's Day card...
