It's Movie Time!

I love the holiday break - it is a fun time to go see the great movies that are out in theaters. This year we found time to see:
  • Did You Hear About the Morgans - I loved it, it was fun and cute. My hubby thought it was a little slow, but I enjoyed it.
  • Blindside - Excellent movie, if you haven't already seen it you really should. It is the feel good movie of the year ;)
  • Avatar - I will admit, I wasn't really sure I wanted to see this one, but I was pleasantly surprised! It is a long movie (don't get a large drink!), but it is such a visual movie - absolutely gorgeous! Great story about humanity, my son thought is was a little too 'green' but in the end it was really good.
For Christmas this year, my daughter had the great idea to make a digital family tree for the grandparents. So, she collected the pictures and I put it together. I have had several people ask for the background I made for it, so it is now available in my store at Polka Dot Potato. The set includes a jpg version of the background, sized at 11x14 (well, a little bigger to allow for the printing bleed). Just put your photos on it and send it to the printer! I have also included a png version of just the tree, so you can put it on your own background and recolor or resize it as you wish.


I also have a little freebie to offer today. I am a fan of graph paper, it adds a little something to so many layouts. You can use it as an entire background, or just a little swatch for journaling. There are so many possibilities. I hope you enjoy it, and as always I appreciate your comments!
