Just remember to only use COPIES of your old photos and documents. The originals should be carefully preserved in a dark, temperature and humidity controlled place for future generations to look at.
Good luck finding Magic Bubble Adhesive. Had fun today with the Christmas crowds(not!) searching for it at Michael’s,Beverly’s,Walmart and Target. No one’s even heard of it!
Hi Carol,
Sorry to hear about your fruitless search
Yes, it unfortunately appears that Magic Bubble products are no longer widely available. You can, however, can substitute decoupage glue or Mod Podge in place of the Magic Bubble adhesive, or even just plain watered down white glue. I’ve updated the directions to reflect this.
Those are really neat, but, I have always been a tech geek and have been searching for a cool way to display all my digital photos that are now currently stuck on my computer. I know there are digital picture frames that you can use all year, but, I was looking for a way to display them during the holidays, especially Christmas. I could only find one kind of digital photo ornament on the market and they only came in 3 colors and were round, kind of boring. Then the other day I came across a brand new digital photo ornament that is not even available yet, but the company is taking pre-orders and will start shipping in June ‘08. The digital photo ornaments are amazing and come in all shapes and sizes and they have free shipping. Every ornament also comes with a free digital picture frame to use year round. You just take out the LCD from the back of the ornament and insert into the frame, pretty cool idea! Go check them out www.thedigitalgiftshop.com
