I used to scrapbook—yes, I used to take the time to shape photos and
place them over decorative and themed backgrounds and then write
paragraphs of descriptions on each page. That was well before I had
children, when I had time to print pictures and when I had time to sit
and look at them. Since photography has gone digital, my hope has been
to compile photo books for each year’s worth of photos, but I’m seven
years behind schedule. And apparently not up to speed with a new form of
capturing life’s moments. Shapify allows you to create three
dimensional figurines of you and your family. Now you can turn yourself
into an actual 3D selfie.

Little did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle realize when he first introduced "Sherlock Holmes" to the world in 1887, that
some 125+ years later, the world would still not be able to get enough

actors who have stepped into this famous detective’s shoes on stage, screen,
radio and TV since the early 1900s —  in just this past few years —  21st
Century actors, the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Jonny Lee Miller and
Benedict Cumberbatch. . .
