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

Altered Alphabet Letter

I attended a 1st birthday party this last weekend and the theme, Fairy Garden Party, was adorable.  Reminded me of my granddaughter’s 1st birthday.  I never blogged about this day or posted pictures of the party.  I’m going to have to do that soon…better late than never. But for today I want to share one of their cute ideas. (at least I … Continue reading

I Hope….

Today is the follow-up post to yesterday’s Secret Weapon post.

Tips for Organizing Your Digital Images

Do you take digital pictures?   I usually post my Creative Memories advise and tips on my Scrap With Dee site but today I’m making an exception because I think this is so important.  Almost all of us take digital pictures and while working with my clients, helping them to get their pictures organized, and into some form of album for enjoyment, I’ve … Continue reading

Well, Maybe An Oak…

Today I found this picture on a Facebook Page I frequent. I had to post it. The digital scrapbook page was created by Sandy Norman with Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus 3.0. The way the branches curve and tangle amaze me. I wonder if the years of contrary winds caused this.  Oak trees can grow to be over 300 years old! It … Continue reading

Yet Another School Project…

I know I’m not the only parent who would prefer to never see another project, but I just don’t see that happening. Teachers love them and I hope there’s some logic behind the home project but from a parents point of view I think they like to torture us!
