Yesterday & Today Self-Paced Workshop Now Available

I'm super excited to bring back and make available one of my most-loved, content-rich workshops Yesterday & Today.

Where do you begin creating with photos from generations past?

The goal of Yesterday & Today is to help you meaningfully life by looking to the past before approaching the stories of today.

The benefit of looking to the past is that we gain perspective. We see things differently after developing an awareness of what we know and what we wished we knew. Looking back, even if we're just viewing old photos of people we don't know, can change the way we approach the photos we take and the stories we tell today.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Yesterday & Today includes 12+ lessons. All lessons are immediately available to you upon purchasing this workshop.

The first six lessons of Yesterday & Today address topics related to yesterday: dealing with old photos, identifying which stories mean the most, gaining perspective. You'll then transition for a couple of lessons and shift your focus to cover stories that include content from both the past and the present. The last few lessons are devoted to exploring techniques that help you tell the stories of everyday life right now.

YESTERDAY & TODAY REVIEWS

• 
  Trisha | Ali, thank you for a great class! I now have a meaningful, beautiful album full of things I never would have thought to document. I am so happy with it! I appreciate your thoughtful, genuine love of all things that embrace life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful class and for being YOU.




• 
  Hannah | I highly recommend this class. It doesn't matter what kind of a scrapbooker you are, or even if you aren't one, the thoughtful assignments and journal prompts are powerful to say the least. The ability to go at your own pace means you can take your time until you are ready to deal with the issues that come up, and not get behind- I finished it 2 years after starting! Looking back and comparing now and then was a powerfully healing experience for me- it helped me address issues in my marriage, feel closer to my parents, and change my perspective on my present and future. It not only changed the way I scrapbook, but the way I think. In short, this class is like therapy, only a lot cheaper and you get a great album at the end of it!




• Anne | I took this class a couple of years ago... It was without a doubt, the hardest class I have ever taken! (And I am a college graduate). You somehow got me to thinking of things that happened a long time ago...your questions pulled my life story right out of me! I am so thankful to have a Yesterday and Today scrapbook... It really is my story!!!
