I built this hardbound book of all our photos since we started dating a year and a half ago (Aug. 2007- now (Dec. 08)) for Brian as one of his Christmas presents. The book came out nicely, and I like how you can share it online and build it online, not on [...]
I received my new business cards for my Photography business, Lauren Ratliff Photography! (Forgive the red “link” border around the image above.) I’ve printed business cards from Printing for Less in the past and received great customer service and quality prints, so I chose to do business with them again. They over-nighted a print proof [...]
I’ve never understood why folks were so into “twitter.” Now I know. It’s addicting.

It pulls from the scriptures and includes a carol or hymn for each day. I wanted to share today’s Christmas Carol “Joy to the World.” [...]
Pandora Video Series: In The Studio
I’ve recently rediscovered www.Pandora.com (a site you can create customized radio stations streamed from the internet – no commercials- by just typing in an artist or genre) and I came across their blog site… and found the video above. If I could have any dream job (besides a professional [...]
Comedian & author, George Carlin, illustrates American English, which is packed with irony.
