Live Graciously

Strength by Jonathan & Melissa Helser

Seeing news this week has not been a pleasure ...
Yet, this is our time, our world, our reality.

A  quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's book, The Fellowship of the Ring, speaks:

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times.
But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is 
what to do with the time that is given us."

Here's a printable 

of Matthew 5:48 (MSG)
for you

... Let's be attentive and see, if it might be possible, somehow, 
to lighten up someone's darkness this week,

PS. The Book "Wondrous Encounters. Scripture for Lent" by Richard Rohr 
gives a short, inspiring thought on the daily Scripture, through Lent.
I'm reading it on Kindle, a paper book version is also available.

Photobook of Our Holiday in London {Saal Digital-Review}

We had a lovely trip to London in January 2017. To keep the memories vivid, I made a photobook of our holiday, using Saal Digital-services. I found Saal Digital-photobook services from Instagram, where I clicked their add, and landed on their website.

Saal Digitals software is easy to use, they have also software to Mac OS X, which I downloaded and started making the photobook.

I like the different layouts, you can choose, as well as a broad variation of background colors, with or without textures. 

The cool features I appreciate, are the many fonts for your text, and also the possibilities for shadow and other effects. 

Not only can you use a shadow effect to the text, but also to photos.

Varying the background of the photos gives a nice play to the book ...

- I choose more dramatic "space dark sky"-like background to the photos from our visit to Warner Bros studios, the awesome Harry Potter sets (The original props and costumes were fantastic!)

I am very happy with the quality of my photo book: I chose a hard cover book with glossy paper. The paper is thick, and you can adjust the number of the pages.

This is my first, but definitely not my last photobook, that is made with Saal Digital-services.
I appreciate that with Saal Digital, I can make a photobook that "looks like me" - I like the old typewriter font, the possibility to adjust the opacity of the background color, texture and also the different effects of the font / letters.

This photobook was delivered within 10 days, from Uk home to me in Denmark. 

Making Photobooks are a great way of reliving and savoring the holidays, aren't they?!

I have received a voucher (value 25 pounds) for this product test, and for writing an honest product review.
