in transitional times and topsy turvy times and times full of busy and hard and all the feelings…
- we remember there are things worth holding tightly
- we keep stock of what life looks like now, so we can look back later and be gifted with perspective and context
- we collect memories
- we pay attention to detail
- and I am reminded, as ever, of the importance of making memories, documenting personal histories and celebrating all the things, big and small, that live in the details of our everyday.
And part of that for me has always been embracing the celebration of Story and memory keeping. This year, as always, the Lilypad Designers have created a fresh series of free downloads to kick off this year’s Digital Scrapbooking Day (DSD) festivities! The Time Capsule collection is documenting the details of the world around us, the current events and *our* current events, the things worth holding tightly. So welcome to my little bit of the memory keeping parade! You may have found your way here from Allison’s blog as you hop along collecting these storytelling staples.
Here’s the little pack of staples that I created, with a heart for documenting our current events in an almanac-y kind of way. So hope you enjoy!
As the hop has come to a close, this collection is no longer available for download. Be on the lookout for part 2 and 3 at The Lilypad this weekend.
Note: Chrome users. Sometimes Chrome does not play nicely with download links. If you have trouble, you can copy and paste the text link into your browser or you can right click the image and then choose “open in incognito window”. The download should begin automatically when the incognito window is open.
You can also take a peek at other free downloads in the Plant Your Story free download gallery {here}.
And be sure to sign-up for my newsletter to stay in the loop of all the latest news, exclusives and happenings with Sara Gleason and Plant Your Story…including the latest newsletter subscriber’s exclusive free download (available only to Garden Report subscribers).
And, if you love what you see visit my shop for more story-centric inspiration!
The Time Capsule: Documenting Current Events collection is available on our hop until 11:59pm EDT on Thursday September 29, 2022. Please be sure to visit all of our stops before then. If you missed a spot or have lost your way, simply head to the beginning. The first stop is in the forum at The Lilypad. Then, watch for the Parts 2 and 3 of the Time Capsule collection as free with purchase collaborations during our Digital Scrapbooking Day celebrations, from September 30 – October 3, 2022.
You can continue on to the next stop on the hop to visit the completely fabulous Rachel Jefferies. Rachel has something amazing for you!
