Need help organizing those old family photographs?

Julie Floyd is an independent consultant for Creative Memories. She offers a workshop on creating albums and scrapbooks the first Saturday of each month in her home.She also teaches classes at other peoples' homes for their friends and family."I became a consultant for Creative Memories back in June of 2005," said Floyd.

Many people take photos and store them in shoeboxes or the envelopes the developed prints are returned in. Most of these people are overwhelmed by the years of photos they have and are be interested in organizing them, but don't know where to begin. That's where Creative Memories comes in.

"I teach you how to store them correctly and show you how simple and fun preserving your stories and photos can be. It is more than a craft or hobby. It is treasuring your memories safely and easily," Floyd said.

For example, you might want to know whether to caption your pictures. Quick-captioning is the most basic style of creating a journal. Simply answer questions about the photo.

# Who is in the picture?

# What is happening?

# Where, when and why was it taken?

Some of the pictures might be grouped together to tell a story. Storytelling uses descriptive phrases or personal anecdotes to describe the experience. Imagine yourself sharing your photos with a friend. Now write what you would tell your friend.Floyd will help you get started with lots of tips and ideas. Creating scrapbooks is a popular hobby. But more than that, is a means to preserve your photos and memories in a safe way, for yourself and for your family.

Scrapbook Hobby Becomes Career

Marasco recently turned her hobby into a job. She's now a consultant for Creative Memories, a keepsake album company, and works with people who need materials to create their own scrapbooks.Next week, Marasco and several other local scrapbooking consultants will host an event called My Memoranza at St. James Lutheran Church in Brunswick.This two-day event aims to give people a chance to learn about scrapbooking and time to work on creating scrapbooks of their own."It is dedicated work time for scrapbooking," Marasco said. "People can buy whatever supplies they need to do their books, all they have to bring is some pictures they want in the scrapbook."The event will also give people not familiar with scrapbooking a chance to ask about products and learn more about the craft.Marasco said there is already a strong group of people who are avid scrapbookers in the Golden Isles.Beth Sutton, another consultant with Creative Memories who lives on St. Simons Island, began making scrapbooks after her daughter was born eight years ago."I figured if I was going to spend the money taking pictures, I wanted to do something with them other than put them in the box," she said.
