Smiths' New Idea for Thanksgiving Family Reunion Party- Make DVD Slideshow as Background

Thanksgiving Day is coming! In the parlor, the Smiths are discussing how to make the precious Thanksgiving family reunion party nice, colorful and unforgettable? Sh…listen! What are they saying?

Father: Novel decorations?

Mother: Cute cookies?

Daughter, the high school student says mysteriously: Good ideas, but not best ones! What I suggest is - make DVD slideshow as background for our Thanksgiving family reunion party!


Father and Mother: wow!!!

Daughter (excitedly): Yes, make our own family DVD slideshow for Thanksgiving party! How happy is the moment when family members reunite together. At this moment a joyful party is what we expected so much! Novel decorations and cute cookies are good, but may not cool enough. A family DVD slideshow as the background for the party is more exciting and must be able to strike a responsive chord in everyone's hearts.

Father : That sounds interesting! Go on, dear!

Daughter (proudly): Thank you, Dad! There are two major benefits for us to use a DVD slideshow as the background of our Thanksgiving family reunion party.

First, it will strengthen the lifesome and warm atmosphere of family reunion. We can collect photos from Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Auntie, Brother, etc, and then make them a DVD movie played on our big TV. When they come to our party, they must be touched by the vivid show. Happy moment comes! Right?

Mother: uh…let me see…see….

Daughter: Mom, there is another point! We can also take this DVD slideshow as a novel and meaningful Thanksgiving gift for family members. Cookies will be eaten up; decorations will be torn out after the festival, but the DVD slideshow can be preserved for a long time and played repeatedly. Even Grandparents can easily play this slideshow on TV with DVD player when they miss us.

Family reunion is for the love between family members and friends. We can make DVD slideshow with our own photos, stories, and words. Let's imagine: happy holiday, dear family members and the precious moments! Don't you think it makes more sense?

Father: Great! That really sounds touching and exciting. But I don't know how to make such DVD slideshow.

Mother: oh, genius! Dear, I can't agree with you more. I have already been touched once I think of the occasion. Well, is it hard to make such a DVD slideshow?

Daughter (confidently): Dad, Mom, it's just a piece of cake! Listen to my plan. Now that we have already got PowerPoint, I intend to make full use of it to make this DVD slideshow. Apart from PowerPoint, I just need a PowerPoint to DVD burner (Wondershare PowerPoint to DVD you also can use). Only these two little applications!

First I will make the slideshow with PowerPoint. You know I'm good at this tool and also I have many PowerPoint tutorials and Thanksgiving PowerPoint templates as references. The next and also the last step is to burn the PowerPoint slideshow to a DVD. I have tried some software like Acoolsoft PowerPoint to DVD burner. The conversion result is really satisfying.

In a word, everything is easy to do. Dad, Mom, I have said so much, while how do you think of this idea for our Thanksgiving party?

Father : Bravo! Oh, dear, that's perfect, isn't? Darling (turn to his wife), what's your opinion? ...Darling?

Daughter: Strange, where is Mom? ...Mom!

....

(Beside the telephone in the bedroom)

"Hi, Dad, could you please send me the photos you took with my Mom in California? I …" Mom says, making the telephone call.

The meaning and beauty of flowers has captured our imagination so much that even words cannot match its power when it comes to expressing love. The perfect choice of a Valentine flower is the red roses, distinctly expressing love in its eternal form. The single stem of a rose also called “signature rose” is the most preferred choice of most Valentine lovers. Red, pink and white roses are the most sorts after Valentine Flowers.

Jewellery doesn't mean that it has to cost you a lot especially during the period of economic recession. My guess is she must be having many pairs of earrings and chains.

So indulge yourself in this season of love with some great valentine jewellery ideas. Let your sweetheart remember you with this special moment lock inside her heart forever.

5. Record your romantic stories
Valentine's Day is a golden chance of expressing your love to your beloved. You can make up for all the time lost with great romance collage. Considering paper ones are easily damaged, you can create PowerPoint with snaps to cherish the memory of your love of joy. Under each Slide you can write a specific thing about your sweetheart, like "I miss your smile", "I miss you ". It will be a big fortune for you both. Presenting a sincere romance story in such a way could be an ideal Valentine's Day gift idea even if valentine flowers are not attached with it. For long-time preserve you can convert the PowerPoint to video or DVD instead papers. Here is a sample from YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbrOSNsNUWo . Want to know how to do it?
