Bonus print is the way forward

Animal kingdom from the sky

  I'm fed up of seeing the same calendar on all my friends walls and thinking I wish I'd done something different. So I did this year I have decided to make my own calendar with my own pictures. I added all my favorite holiday snaps and the end result was amazing.

Discovery cove - TJ and my nephews 

I cannot wait to start seeing my favorite photos at the beginning of every day on display.

The display to do this was easy to I decided which photos I wanted for each day and made the choice of background if I wanted it ( which I decided it looked better without) and uploaded the pictures and waited less then a week for the calendar to arrive.

 The photo album was a little bit trickier due to my internet going down on various occasions during the uploading time. Which was due to poor service provider problems.

Queen Mary Ca.

  When choosing to do a photo album there is so much to take into consideration including photo size, writing (if any), How many photos per page?  

Disneyland Ca.

 The photographs I chose were placed automatically in the album as each folder uploaded from my computer. I found this helped me as it saved time on trying to decide which photographs to choose and put up as my favorite. You could place up to nine pictures per page including captions if needed. 

When the photo albums came back I was amazed at how well they have turned out with such clear pictures and writing on each page. 

Calico and Barstow Ca.

 This picture was printed on a board and came with the fixtures ( no nails) so it could be hung straight away. Again the quality of the photo is amazing. This photo was originally taken on my phone and zoomed in slightly. The photo has come back arger then the original so no doubt it would have had to have been blown up a little to fit the board. 

The image was taken whilst visiting Calico ghost town near Barstow California. 

 I have had another picture printed on to wood but as it holds a direct view of my sons face I have decided not to put it up. The picture quality again for this photo is fantastic and so clear.

It's amazing how they've done it too I never thought about printing straight on to wooden planks before.

 Bonus print have impressed me so much that I will now only use them to print my photos and I print a lot as I also scrapbook.

The prices are the best put there to and if you sign up for email updates they also have some really good offers running most of the time.

March's Loot crate

I recieved my loot crate box and loved the box design this month.

When opening the box as usual it was full with goodies on the verses theme this month. 

Inside it included a t-shirt and a hat along with a few other things.

First off I'd like to say I love the reversible hat. I'm not sure which side I prefer Daredevil or Punisher? 

The monthly subscription magazine I could not put it down, loved reading it. 

I was not brave enough to open the Harley Quinn magazine so that is still tucked up in the wrapper.

The wallet that is in the packet is one of the recycled indestructible ones with Batman vs Superman again its such a hard choice to choose from.

The last surprise in the box was the t-shirt. this one is for the star trek fans, it obviously means something to you if you are but for myself I don't understand it.

The t-shirt sizing this month is coming up a little small compared to last month although the top does stretch and is still very comfortable and light.

TJ received his Little passports letter.

This morning TJ received his second little passports letter through the post, the only other time I've seen him so excited to see post come through was when he was getting ready to open a Disney parcel. I love seeing this look of excitement in his eyes.

          Inside today's parcel came from Brazil 

• a letter
•  a couple of stickers
•  an amethyst stone
•  a post card
• quiz pages ( for use with the map)

After inspecting each piece and reading through the letter twice TJ cracked on with the questions.

bringing the map down off the wall and placing it on the table. The first thing TJ asks is how do you unscramble letters.

Taking his time to work out the puzzles he soon finished, and worked out where our little friends were going next to eat.

 Each month is a new country and we love to research a little bit more then what we receive in the little passports package.

Next month is Japan.

I finally got my first Loot crate!

Ok so I may have got just a little over excited when I found out my little black box had been delivered this morning.

Looking at the solid black box it felt quite heavy, when looking at the sending instructions I realised it had been sent from the U.S. The postage costs $19.95 as indicated on the box.
I decided to pay for the 3 months subscription with a 10 % off code that I was given. So the cost per box worked out as $28 each month delivered to the UK.



When I opened the box the theme was Dead. With bright red and purple zombies printed on the inside of the box. I was quite pleased about this theme as I love the tv series Izombie, so I was secretly hoping that there would be something to do with the series hidden in the box.




The first thing I saw was a Deadpool Q fig - this item is a loot crate exclusive so currently not found anywhere else.

The next thing I found was a t- shirt again Deadpool themed. The top is marvel branded, soft to touch with a large print across the chest.

The third item I found was my loot crate pin specially made for each moths box.

I then came across a string of ears...... I suddenly had a flashback of Universal Soldier starring Dolph Lundgren. The ears in this case are linked to the walking dead. These soap on a rope ears are rather scary have no fragrance but look great hanging of the rope they are provided with.

Last but so not least as I've been looking forward to this. I get to look in my booklet that was in the bottom of the box and yay! I'm so happy there's a publishing from one of the cast Izombie. I love Rahul Kohli's character in Izombie Ravi is probably my favourite character. Sharp witted liners all the way through the program.

I wrote this write up so you could see for yourself whether the loot crate is worth spending your money on. Although you definitely get more than your monies worth of products. In my opinion the

loot crate has a cracking value.
As long as you know each month what the theme is (which you can check online and if you don't like that one you can skip a month and get the next one delivered instead) .
