My Thoughts

What fun things did you do this summer?

I LOVE to travel and had the opportunity to visit the beautiful state of Utah this summer! Yes, I took lots of photos and have already published my book.
A few weeks back I ran across some old vacation photos from around 1976. I became lost in time as I sat there looking at each photo and remembering the details of friendship, places, events, sounds and smells. I was surprised just how many details I could remember about some of the photos and was saddened at the same time because there were many photos that the details had already faded from my memory.

Don't let the details for your summer vacations, family and class reunions fade away. Now is the time to preserve those stories and photos while the details are so vivid. To make your book even more complete, scan or photography your vacation mementos like souvenirs, brochures, maps, tickets and menus and then include them in your storybook.
I would love to answer any questions you may have and help you get started on your projects. I can be reached at 580-327-7027.

I Value Your Opinion!

I am currently developing some short and fun webinars for my clients that I can present online or during workshops.

Tell me what you want;
what you would like to learn about
what days of the week work best for you
what time of day works best for you
how long do you like your classes...15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes
would it be helpful if I had handouts with step-by-step directions and photos
would you be interested in online Digi-Crops

I would love to hold live Digi-Crops in your area, but I am having difficulty finding a meeting location that has tables, Internet access and possibly some extra computers. If you know of a location in your area, please drop me a note and I will check it out. Are you asking... what is a Digi-Crop? A Digi -crop is a fun night with out with other heritage makers where you can get great project ideas, learn some new Studio tips and tricks and work on your own projects. Sounds like fun doesn't it! It is!

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!
