There's something about a new year, a new calendar, that fresh, blank sheet of paper, that gives me a sense of anticipation. A feeling that maybe I can make a fresh start and be more organized than I have been. Of course, more organized is not that difficult to achieve, since I consider myself a pretty disorganized person and almost any effort would be an improvement.
Though it seems an overwhelming task at times, I'm trying to do this in baby steps, so I'm sending out an invitation so that anybody who wants to join me (or partner with me for some accountability), in my journey to being, let's call it "less disorganized", can do so. For however long you want ... I don't think I need to add to anybody's "TO DO" list.
I have a lot of mini-goals within my bigger goals, but right now I'm working on sorting my photos in Memory Manager. I also recently got a small scanner so I have a lot of old photos that I want to scan and eventually put into a family history album. One thing about scanning/sorting is that you don't see the results the way you do when you create a scrapbook page. Since I don't want that to hold me back, I'm going to use a timer to work on these projects for just 15 minutes at a time.
Let me know what ideas you have come up with for sorting/organizing your photos/scrapbooking/craft supplies.
Happy scrapping!

Double delight
Just until the end of June, Creative Memories is having a special offer for any host to receive DOUBLE host credit!! This is a great way to get that product or products you've been wanting to start or finish a project. Our new Photo Solutions Party is super fun and quick!
Get at least 2 more friends together (the more the merrier...and the more credit for you!) and I'll have a short presentation ready to show you our newest ways to celebrate your photos, and (gasp!) most of them don't involve scrapbooking! We/ll watch a brief video to help you improve your photos, and your Party will last less than an hour (additional fun time to visit/eat/catch up optional and totally at your discretion).
My calendar will fill up fast, so please visit my website to contact me to choose a time that works for you.
If that seems like too much to do, I'll be having a Photo Solutions Party at Panera in Whittwood in Whittier on Wednesday evening, June 22, at 7:00 p.m. You can be a "host" if you bring at least 2 friends who are "new" customers and your combined orders total $250 or more. I'll be glad to see you in any case.
Remember, double host credit means double the fun!

Baby Boom!
I don't know about you but among my family and friends there is baby boom going on! Three of my cousins have just had their first babies, all girls! It is exciting, and a time for LOTS of photos.
To help celebrate, I made a new Creative Memories accordion card for my first cousin's little girl. It turned out so sweet. And it was so quick and easy. I'm not comfortable posting photos of someone else's baby, so if you want to see how it turned out, please email me and I'll send you a link to view it.
This makes a wonderful little gift for new parents or grandparents, or even as a unique birth announcement!
Creative Memories also is now offering a new way to make a print, they actually print it on a metal plaque. The effect is beautiful, especially with vintage looking photos. As soon as I make mine I'll let you know.
If you are a little short of funds (and who isn't these days?), through the end of the month some of Creative Memories most popular products are 40% OFF, including Memory Manager software (less than $24!) and Quick Kits and our Power Sort box.
Check out my my website for details or give me a call any time.

Mac users, Rejoice!
Mac users, (and I hope to be among you again soon), can celebrate today because Creative Memories has released a Mac user version of our famous StoryBook Creator Plus software, called sbcStudio.
It is compatible with Apple's iPhoto, so you don't need any Windows virtualization software to run this on your Mac.
You can try the software for free for 30 days, downloading it from my website (see link above), and it is available to purchase for $64.95 any time during or after your 30 day free trial.
I hope you'll try it and let me know what you think!
Creative Memories and Mac...I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

It's the most wonderful time...
...of the year...
Well, it is if you LOVE calendars...I love feeling that I have a fresh start and a new, clean calendar to fill in. And there are so many beautiful choices.
But what if you could design your OWN calendar with your favorite photos?
That's exactly what you can do with StoryBook Creator software, both the free and the Plus versions. You can imagine what a great gift this would make, especially to yourself! Something to enjoy all year long. The calendars are 20% off until October 31, so you still have time to make one and save. Or if you don't have the time, call me and I'll do the work for you!
The other great thing about our calendars is that when the year is over, the calendar part can be removed and the pages (12x12 or 8x8) can be put right into your album, either traditional or digital printed StoryBooks. How's THAT for recycling and reusing??
Go to my website and then click on Digital for more information. If you don't already have Storybook Creator on your computer, download the free version first. Then you can use any of your digital photographs and designs (many are free downloads on the same website) to create your own yearlong masterpiece.
