Summer Projects – Time to Preserve Your Life!

Fixing the old-school push lawnmower – one of the rites of summer back in the day. Got some downtime this July / August? Spend it preserving great old family snapshots such as this one. You’ll be glad you did!

It’s officially summer!

 

So, if it’s summer, it’s . . .

. . . time to save your life!

Whoa. Wait a minute. Did I just say “time to save your life”?

Yeah, I’m not talking about wearing bug spray to prevent Lyme disease, or wearing sun screen to prevent future problems, or wearing your seatbelt or bike helmet on the way to the beach / campsite / family reunion (but do all those things!).

Archival Photo Envelopes are a great way to preserve your family photos.

Nope, I’m talking about saving those moments that make up your life: the snapshots, photo albums, postcards and family artifacts – past and present – that document all those happy summertime memories of both today and yesteryear.

So, when you’re not camping, at the beach, at a wedding, or a party, spend some of the dog days of summer rummaging through your attic, your basement, your phone or your camera for your family photographs. Print your favorites and then place them in archival pages and binders, or mat and frame them, to capture wonderful summertime memories to last a lifetime (and beyond!).
