an easy way to preserve your own story: social media

Thanks for stopping by.  We have a 2023 UPDATE before you read on:  Heritage Makers and Snap2Finish became YPhoto under Youngevity (which purchased Heritage Makers in 2013).  YPhoto uses only templates, so the creativity showcased here is no longer available there, and they also no longer have capability to print previously-created projects like these from the old system. YPhoto is not a photo storage site like Heritage Makers was. 

Best-in-the-industry quality and permanent cloud photo storage with guaranteed privacy are required for anything recommended here by Photo & Story Treasures, so we highly recommend Forever for:  

·        creative digital scrapbooking applicable in a variety of photo products using Artisan software

·        easy photo-memory books using free AutoPrint and Design & Print software programs

·        private, permanent, secure, and guaranteed photo and video cloud storage (triple-backed-up and bank encrypted)

·        white glove digitizing services for old memories like VHS tapes, slides, old scrapbooks (scanning), 8mm film, audio tapes, and much more

After a few years of being on Facebook, I realized that the little posts I was writing were really my life story in snippets.  We sometimes think about writing our life story in paragraphs and chapters.  Those are obviously very effective ways to do it, but why not think outside the box?  In what ways do you already record your life story?

I decided to compile my little snippets in a storybook. 

I had seen this block style book on a Heritage Makers template before, and it was really easy to duplicate.  Each two-page-spread is a different style, using the included digital art.  But the fun thing is that you can do it YOUR way--any way you want.  

This project was basically just a lot of copying and pasting, and uploading photos.

I actually really enjoy looking back on these posts and pictures preserved this way.   It's fun!  My kids like it, too.

Think about where you have recorded little snippets of YOUR life story!  Social media?  E-mails?  Gathering them and preserving them in a tangible form makes them easily accessible and enjoyable.

P.S.  I realize that most people think Facebook is going to be around forever, but who really knows.  Trusting that bits of your life story on free, online platforms will always be accessible may or may not be wise.  Plus, in my case, who knows when you might want to actually get OFF Facebook!  ;)
