Now you can be the creative one out of your friends when sharing photos with PicGIF.  The PicGIF software is so easy to navigate and you will creative slideshow style images in minutes, literally.  

You can add all sorts of image formats, even video.  And you can choose options for your GIF such as background color, how fast the pictures flip through on their own, rearrange the photos easily and the size of the images and in what orientation.

You can even add text to your photos and videos in the GIF and edit it using the fonts on your computer.  Make it your own style with colors, borders and shadows too!

When you’re done, you can share your GIF files via email or iMessage. Or, you can save it to your desktop to show friends and family when you see them.

This would be a great way to display images for birthdays, anniversary parties, retirement parties or even for school or work presentations.

Uglee Ergonomic Pen Giveaway - Ends 3/4

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

In a time where smart phones and tablets are the norm, sometimes it feels good to go back to good old pen and paper to take notes, lists and just brainstorming.  I’ve been carrying a great new comfort pen in my purse for a few weeks, called the Uglee Pen.

This ergonomic pen from Uglee Pen is great for people with carpel tunnel and arthritis and is great for children learning to grip for fine motor skills.   The pen is extremely lightweight and the shape of the pen is engineered to fit the hand more comfortably.  The writing is very smooth and I have never had a problem with skipping or clogging.
