It’s hard to believe that school has been back in session for over a month now.  Before we know it, it will be Halloween, Thanksgiving  and then Christmas and then the year will be half over! “The days are certainly long but the years, they are so so short!” It’s always fun for me (and probably you, as well) to see all the photos posted on social media of kids first and last day of school photos, of field trips, special award ceremonies, concerts, recitals, artwork, etc.

Once these photos are posted, where do all they end up? On a computer, permanently posted on Facebook and social media?  Will your kids have these to go back and look at when they get older?  What about their kids?  A few years back I was visiting my parents and spent the day looking at countless photos of my mom & dad’s childhood.  It was truly a memorable day for me listening to my parents share stories and seeing photos of my mom and dad as they went through school, growing up and changing. They participated in theatre,  Sports, student government.  They were on the honor roll- they even had a few of their report cards!

Don't let your or your children’s photos and school year memorabilia  get 'dusty' on a hard drive.....Let's put all these events in an album!  You may think... ugh.... I would NOT know how or where to began. This is where I come in and you will be surprised at how easy this can be!  PLUS I guarantee you will have fun doing it!

I’m excited to offer a THROUGH THE YEARS - SCHOOL WORKSHOP designed by fellow consultant Dana Kessler.  You will create a 2 page layout for Kindergarten through 12th Grade.   After this workshop, you will have completed pages to add pictures as your child finishes each grade!  No more trying to 'catch up’!  If you children are all grown up then you can do what I am doing and add your photos and memorabilia from years past to your pages after the workshop.  This project is perfect for EVERYONE (those who are pregnant, those with toddlers, those with school age children and those with adult children)!  It is even a great project for YOU to put together your school year memories…just like the memories my parents shared with me several years ago!

A Perfect Gift Suggestion

Tweens, Teens and even Adults LOVE Instagram. It's all the rage now. I must admit, I Instagram is my favorite social media venue. Our phones are flooded with photos. And then what do we do when we get the warning saying our phone is almost out of storage? We start deleting those precious memories.  
I'm here to offer a solution of what you can do so that you don't have to discard those treasured memories!!
Close To My Heart has a very fun and simple memory keeping system that suits instagram (actually, ALL PHOTOS) photos perfectly. It is called "INSTA-LIFE." These 4 x 4 mini albums start with #Life. Photos from vacations, graduations, and everyday antics will feel right at home with these colorful albums and cards, featuring bold designs and lots of attitude. Everything you need is perfectly sized for portability and sharability, making it fun and easy to remember good times. I can put together a fabulous bundle that makes for a treasured birthday, holiday, anniversary or even a "just because" gift perfect for all ages! Here are images of the product available, as well as some pages of mini albums I have put together. The beauty of this memory keeping system is that you can create an entire album in just an hour or two! Completed albums make priceless gifts, too! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are interested in me suggesting what to order to create a fabulous gift bundle! I also offer workshops in my studio right here in my home. You can schedule a private Insta-life workshop for you and your friends or attend a workshop I host. You can also schedule me to do birthday parties, or any special occasion. If you are not local to me we can do a workshop via Facebook Live. These are always a lot of fun, as well! It is my passion to help YOU preserve YOUR PRECIOUS MEMORIES! I"d love to help you do just that!
