Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A Giveaway
Tags:
In just one week my new workshop begins at Big Picture Scrapbooking:Yesterday & Today.
It's hard to believe it is almost finally here.
And in case you didn't know already, you're invited to join me.
Here's what I want you to know if you are still considering embarking on this journey with me:
• With a focus on the stories from yesterday & the stories from today, this class is really an in-depth look at the way I scrapbook.
• Each week (on Thursdays) you will receive an email inviting you to the classroom where a video presentation will be waiting for you to access on your own time (you do not need to be online at a certain time - it's just one of the awesome things about Big Picture's classroom set-up). These video presentations are not just a 5-15 minute talk about the subject and the layout - so far they are averaging around an hour. During that hour my goal is to inspire you to take a look at the way in which you scrapbook and encourage you to focus on the things that matter most to you within the framework of the theme for that week.
• In addition to the video presentations there are weekly video tutorials showing my processes for concepts and techniques using Photoshop Elements.
• For those of you, like me, who like to actually read the weekly content there will be a color PDF download detailing the concepts and information covered in the video presentation (as well as a how-to for the weekly project).
• Each week there will be a digital element download and a digital layered template (all new). The digital elements will be used as printables (hybrid elements) on the weekly layout and the layered template will match the paper layout I create for each week.
• Even if you will be away for a time during the class you will still have access to the materials.
• The class will have it's own message board & gallery for sharing and communicating with one another (including me).
• This workshop is a chance for you to:
investigate your past through words + photos
do something meaningful with older photos if you have them (or to tell those stories that have meaning even if you don't possess the photos)
tell your own personal stories of success + challenge + growth
work on embracing imperfection & going with the flow
celebrate your everyday life + make sure you are capturing stories that are meaningful to you today
connect with other people who care deeply about collecting + celebrating the stories of their lives
• The cost for this 13 week class is $99.
I am really, really excited for this workshop to get underway.
I hope to see you there.

I'd document the courtship and early marriage to my high school sweetheart. We are coming up on 20 years of marriage! He's my best friend and I want my daughter to know the great love we share.

I have several stories I've wanted to get down for awhile now, but one that's high on the list is the time there was a bat flying around my room and the police came to my house to investigate.

Oh, gosh. A story I want to document: there are so many. One of them has to be about my relationship to and with my grandmothers. I suppose the older I get, the more I realize how each one of these amazing women has influenced who I am now (at age 51, the mother of two sons, a teacher, a daughter, and all that!). The second story I want to document is much more difficult: last November, we lost our home in a house fire. I took the pictures, and they are on the computer. In the last ten months, we have lived with my parents for seven months and then moved into our beautiful new home on May 23. This story is still quite "painful" to think about, but through it all there is a blessing--many blessings. God has been so good to us; we have been truly blessed in so many ways, not the least of which is the fact that no one was injured during the fire.
There are the other stories--my children growing up, relationships with family, my favorite stories of nature's beauties.

I want to do a whole series of stories about my childhood, record those "family stories" - the ones that your parents tell over and over; and celebrate each of my loved ones (this will probably involve pestering them till they give me the answers to quizzes).

I would like to document the way a child's mind works. I remember looking for landmarks on the way to my grandparent's house (e.g. the store with a blue awning, then McDonalds and a left turn by the park). I knew when we were getting close by the passing of these landmarks. Now, as an adult, it is fun to make that drive and recognize the landmarks and also see how the landscape has changed (my grandparent's house was torn down and a strip mall was built in it's place). But, most importantly, it makes me wonder how my own kids will remember things. It's fun to take a peek into a child's mind.

I would like to document the journey of Breast Cancer.
I was diagnosed 6 weeks after my youngest daughter was born and I will be Cancer Free for 5 years on November 30th of this year. My daughter turns 5 next Wednesday. I know the story needs to be told, but I don't know where to begin.
