Taking Pictures And Making Memories

So here’s the question….Who’s the “picture taker” in your family? In my family it’s me, whenever there’s an event where pictures are being taken I’m usually the one behind the camera. I enjoy it; trying to get those moments with the cute smiles, funny faces or just the right shot to showcase a special moment is important to me because … Continue reading

Memories From A Life

Recently, I had to find a picture from about a year and a half ago, for a friend of mine.  I have an amazing program called Memory Manager from Creative Memories; it’s so amazing, that usually I can find pictures from years ago in minutes with just a few clicks of the keyboard.  Imagine that you are looking for a picture of your daughter … Continue reading

A Weekend Away

This weekend I had the opportunity to get away from it all….well, not really “it all” as it was a working weekend away. I hosted a mountain scrapbooking retreat in the beautiful mountain resort town of Lake Arrowhead and although that’s always a huge amount of work, I totally enjoyed myself.  The gal’s that attend these weekends range in age from 20 something … Continue reading

What's a Beep?

Then her phone rang,….yes rang! The middle child had actually called to explain! Thank goodness for small things, like an actual conversation with voices and smiles and laughs. When she answered, I watched her get a slight smile on her face, giggle and then she explained to the rest of us
