Personalized Items

The ease of sharing photos through texts, emails, social media, digital frames, and other fun digital media is fantastic, but sometimes it is nice to have something tangible to touch. Consider using a digital photo on a pillow, cell phone case, mug, pot holder, T-shirt, jigsaw puzzle, or other personalized item. Try Shutterfly, SkinIt, VistaPrint, TargetPhoto, or any of the other many sites where … [Read more...]

Digital Frames

Digital frames are a versatile gift that is as creative as your imagination. I especially love this as a gift to older loved ones who live far away. You can start with one slideshow, then update with new photos or completely change the photos to a new slideshow from the app. You'll keep your loved one up-to-date and feeling connected across the miles.

It really gets the creativity flowing! … [Read more...]

Memoirs & More

Clémence Scouten is a memoir writer who presented at conference. My long-time readers know that I've often shared tips from memoir writers and writing courses so this is a subject near and dear to me. I think the tagline on her Memoirs & More website says it all: Documenting Your Legacy before it’s too late. She was one of my favorite speakers at the conference. She also recently participated … [Read more...]
