Dog Days of Summer

Here we are in the last days before school starts. The weather is stifling most of the time and then it rains and brings with it the relief of extreme heat. I am so grateful for the rain and the smell of sage and rain mixed. Remember to start getting those photos in order so that we can spend the winter getting them into books so we can have a rememberance. Our stories need to be told and that is what we are about. Lets tell our stories so that our families, children and those we love can see what we are about!

August is Here

Wow, I can't believe August is here and fall is right around the corner! I was putting some photos together last night and thinking I have got tons to do!! I love working on my son's books and getting their stuff all lined up so that we can have some memory books. As school becomes closer and closer on the horizon and we know the crazy days of summer are about over, it is more and more apparent that it is time to get back in gear for what we normally do. I love putting the stories of my family history together and I hope that you do too. If you need assistance, let me know and I will do everything I can to help you out.

End of July!

The end of July always brings with it mixed feelings for me. It is hot during the day, the nights are usually balmy. This morning I awoke to the soft rain and a little thunder to go with it. Of course, I love the humidity and the temperature was just right. This is my kind of weather. I spent a little time on the computer last night and I have been finding all the left over things that I want in my son's scrapbook and collecting them so that I can get them scanned in. I love scanning in the physical stuff and then putting it in the book so that I can throw everything away and there is no bulk. How lovely is that? De-junking and family history all at the same time!! Totally awesome! When the printed book comes, I just throw most everything out - that is the bohm!

Fresh Idea

It is the middle of summer, the evenings are a treasure. Take your laptop outside, sit in the swing or on the patio and work on your treasures as you relax at the end of day. The memories will flood back and it makes for an enjoyable evening. Even if all you are doing is playing, it is very relaxing and theraputic to stroll through memory lane.

Mid Summer

Wow, lots of Red, White, Blue and spirit!! I hope all had a lovely celebration this past weekend! It always makes me feel good to know that I live in the "land of the free and the home of the brave"! I love to express those feelings on pages showing flags and parades and fireworks. It really is fun to see and remember these days of celebration with family and friends and this year just seemed extra special. We love the good food, time with family and traditions that keep us together. Family reunions are also a great time to take some pictures and remember each other along with ancestors.

I hope that your summer is filled with love and memories and remember to take those photos so they can play in your pages!

Next...

Well, summer is here and we are in the thick of it!! This week and next week is the Manti Pagaent and we have plans to be there in a booth at the food court. I love this business and the fun of building my own books. It is interesting though how many people are interested but afraid of jumping in. If fear is holding you back, call me and let's get together so I can show you how easy it is.

The specials this month are great and you can find all of the information at www.myphotosatplay.com. Email me and I will get back to you. Keep taking those pictures and have some fun and we will get those memories and stories memorialized forever.

Summer Has Begun

Well, we kicked the summer off with a booth at the Scandanavian Days celebration in Ephraim. It was pretty tough on the first day, the wind blew all the tents and awnings away and so we packed it up and went home. On Saturday we started over but things were better as well. By the end of the day I had seen lots of friends who didn't know I was helping others to do this. It was fun to see all of you who love me and want some help. I am excited to help you out! I love this business, they have so many quality things and the projects are endless and so much fun!!!

If you haven't had a chance to see them with your own eyes, give me a call and we can put something together. These projects make great gifts and fabulous keepsakes! I really want to help you preserve your memories like I am preserving mine!!

Up and Coming

This week ushers in the summer schedule. The time is here to become part of the community. We are setting up a booth at Scandanavian Days in Ephriam, Utah and we want to share with everyone!!
