The Year is over, How Can I Organize and Utilize a Years worth of memories?

Time and Space are precious, having your treasures and loved ones nearby is priceless.
The items around your house and living spaces say alot about you. What does your house and space say about you?

Well, another year of life has passed. Pictures, souvenirs, school projects, papers, all the things accumulated through out the year that hold so much meaning are stacked up, shoved in a box or sitting on a shelf. What can you do with these memories and special items that you can share them, use them and see them easily and frequently?
Scan pictures and documents and store on DVD's, use them in slideshows, and digital photo albums.
Slideshows made into DVD's
Video your kids looking at the stuff and remembering the events and trips.
Albums and scrapbooks
Digital scrapbooks
Take Pictures of your items that are not absolutely necessary, but that you treasure.
Use "shadowbox" frames to make items into "art" and hang it on the wall.
Make treasured items into useful items, placemats, artwork, books, ect.
Some pictures and papers and things can be donated to teachers or schools to use in lessons.

Have things that you want to get rid of but do not know what to do with them, do not want to just throw them in the land fill like trash? Have a bon-fire. It is like a ceremony, you can clear boxes and boxes of paper, pictures that are not wanted anymore, most things can be disposed of. and you can enjoy the warmth of the fire, the dancing flames and the empty boxes or shelves to have room for other treasures that do not have a place of honor in your home.

Need help doing these things? Call or email me or comment here. I barter too and will work "with you like a friend" to get your projects started.
