Forum Topic - DAY ELEVEN - 12/23/2010

Good morning and welcome to today's giveaway!  We will be giving away one FREE copy of MY MEMORIES SUITE V2 software for two more days!  Today... though - I want to do something a little different!  Instead of entering to win the prize for yourself, I'd like to offer you the opportunity to share the gift with someone else who would really love it!  So... today... I would like you to tell us about someone you know (or have someone tell us about you!) that would really love to have a FREE copy of MMS V2.  It's a way for you to give the gift and us to foot the bill! :-)

So, tell us their story... and why they might like to have a free copy of My Memories Suite V2!  Give the gift that keeps on giving!  We'll give them the gift FOR you!

Let's get posting!  (you can always have your kids post your name and tell your story - ask Kelly, her hubby posted the sweetest story about her on the FB page!)  

Good luck!  We'll post the winner tomorrow morning!

I want my friend Janna to win the software.  

We have been scrapbooking buddies since 1997, but the last several years we have both had to put away the paper goods due to the number of small hands in our homes.

She has her own four children and she provides foster care, too.  She's had two precious little boys in her home for the past nine months and she would like to be able to keep a memory of these special little ones after she has to send them back to their parents (or wherever the courts decide).  She would love to go digital with the scrapbooks because it can be done quickly, easily and with no mess.  Little hands can not destroy like they do with all the paper fun.  

Her husband's pay was cut in half this past year, so buying software is not in the budget, but they are thankful he still has a job.  

They are just the sweetest family and I know she has some incredible stories to chronicle in a MMS scrapbook!

Please pick Janna!

My mom is pretty much addicted to scrapbooking and loves to use mms v1 but she wants to do more of the fun stuff that v2 does. Please give my mom v2 so she can do more fun stuff with all her millions of pictures.

Please give my wife my memories suite so she can clean up the huge paper mess and have it all on the computer. It would be awesome if she could just turn off her mess and turn it back on :)

I just love this day and this posting!! The friend I would like to enter is April. I have only known April for about 6 months at present. We both decided to take the same course in college, and then struck up a friendship. In the short time, I have known April I have found it strangely ironic, but wonderful, that we have so many things in common and we just “click”.

The first thing I noticed is she loves scrapbooking, but in talking with her she has never tried digital scrapbooking. I have never been a huge fan of paper scrapbooking, but addicted to digital and find what one can do with paper, you can do a thousand times better with digital. This is why I would love for April to enjoy MMS and experience what a pleasure it is to digiscrap and then be able to share those creations with family/friends.

She has such a kind heart. For example, a family’s house burnt down about a week ago in her community and she took it upon herself to gather support from her facebook page for donations for this large family. For being such a wonderful person, I would love it if she could be the one on the receiving end as a way of appreciation and thanks for her just being the wonderful woman she is!

34 years ago I gave up a baby girl for adoption. We have been in reunion since 2000. Having not known anything about her for so many years was hard. The many years of wondering if she was ok, or alive, if she was loved. I had the opportunity to go see her & spend 4 days with her and her mother. The amazing blessing was what a wonderful woman her mom is. This family and my daughter are so amazing. Jen just had her second daughter on Nov. 30th & the entire gang is so thrilled. Her 1st daughter is 5. I have such a place in my heart for Jen's Mom it will never have words to describe how I love her. When we met she brought scrapbooks of Jen growing up. It was such a joy to see her with kittens, and ponies, and such love it jumped off the page. It was a tough meeting like so many, without going into details it's just hard for all in the triangle of adoption. I would love to win this for Margo. She would so love it and have such a great time scrappin those baby girls. I just loaded a pic I did for them & am trying to load more but not smart enough to figure it out. I can talk about this & load the pictures here, it is not good for me to put them out anywhere else. I have sent them to Jen in emails. She loved them.

Thanks for letting me share as always. don't know what I'd do without all of you holding my hand.

I would love to see my best friend Cassandra win the MMS2 software. 

Cassandra is an incredibly busy mom of 4 young kids.  Her life is hectic, but she's the type of person that would always put aside her own stuff to help you out if you needed it, as she showed more than once in the last month since my first child was born.  She's incredibly generous - even with their tight family budget as a family of 6 on one income, she adopted a local family in our town and made sure they had gifts for Christmas, and as for me, she supplied me with so much baby equipment and clothing, but has also always been available with something more valuable - her knowledge and advice has been so invaluable for a first time panicky mom.  She always goes the extra mile, when working she would often deal with clients after hours, taking phone calls and answering e-mails on her own time, without expecting to be paid extra for it.

I recently watched her struggle to try to put together a photo album of her youngest son's first year with the little time she had, and thought that MMS would have been the perfect thing for her as it would allow her to quickly and easily gather her photos together them and journal them without having to expend a lot of time.  What a perfect gift it would be for her, and I know she'd love the software as much as I have!

I would love to give it to my kids, but after reading some of these stories I am going to pass this up. There are some wonderful stories and I'd love to see one of them win. Best wishes ladies. :)

My girlfriend and I have been scrapbooking 1x a month for about the past 6 years. Well, we try to anyway. She has tried a few scrapbooking programs but I think that she will really like MMS. I know I do. Thanks for having this contest!

PS Who won day 8? It was never posted :-D  Thanks

Oh this is perfect because I'm actually trying to win a copy for my mother in law.  She saw me playing with it while on vacation and was really impressed. I would love to win a copy for her.  She loves to scrapbook, but like me, doesn't hardly have the time.  Digital scrapbooking makes it so quick and easy that I think she will catch up on her old photos in no time. 

I would like to win MMS for my friend Lou.  She was ready to order a copy for herself and then her mom asked her to help scan the family's "old" photo albums.  Lou has put some money into equipment and trips to other  towns for seminars and classes in order to help her mom with this project.  Therefore she has postponed buying a copy of MMS.  Just think of what Lou and her mom could do with these family memories and a copy of MMS.

I would like to enter my sister - Brenda

Our father passed away in August.  He was into computers and photography ever since computers were so big that they filled up a room, as well as going everywhere with a camera in his hand.  I know Brenda does scrapbooking, but I would like to get her addicted to digital scrapbooking.  It would be something to share with her that would also be a part of Dad.  I've been using the software for just over a month now and LOVE it.  My first project was a calendar I made for my Grandmother for Christmas - who is 82.  It has pictures of her and my Grandfather along with all the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren's birthdays on it.  It turned out great and was so much fun to make!  I gave it to her last weekend - and she loves it.  My next project will be a memory book for my Mother of Dad, but I don't have the heart to start it yet. 

There are so many good stories and reasons for wanting a great friend to win a copy of MMS.  I have been debating all day about who I would give this too if I had it.  I have decided that My Friend Mindy would be the one.  She is a great person.  She is a lot like me and would give everything she had to help anyone that would need it.  I do not know her as well as I would like.  We both lost a dear friend a little over a year ago and I know she would love to carry on his memory.  She has kids and Grandkids and many friends with kids. And Just for putting up with my little brother.  Not the greatest story but still a worthy one for sure.  I hope I can share this great hobby with Mindy and hope to learn a lot more about her.

Thanks for this oppurtunity.  Hoping persistance pays off.

I would like my friend, Erin to win.  She got me started scrapbooking the traditional way.  Her motto was to get the pictures down and get the album done.  I think she would really like how easy and fast MMS is.  We both have five children now, and not much time to "scrap," but I think she could find time to do it with MMS.
