Shopping List App
I’m pretty much behind the times when it comes to iPod’s, iTouch’s & iPhone’s. The rest of my family have iPod’s but not me and I actually have no real interest in getting one. My phone is a pretty old one passed on to me by my dear hubby. However, this past summer I was bitten by the “technology bug” when my good friend showed me her iTouch and I fell in love! The little icons you could just touch with your fingers to use, the versatility and ease of use looked so attractive. I was completely impressed.

Review of Close-Up (Art Card Games)
Close Up Art Card Games Can be purchased at Birdcage Press for $9.95/set This is a great little card game I picked up last Spring when visiting Colorado. The deck I have are paintings that can all be found at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. Included in the game are 48 cards. One card will be a picture of a famous painting, with the name of the painting and its artist printed on the front, and its match will be a close-up of a part of the painting with no title or artist mentioned. What I really like about this game is how it makes you…
