Hi I’m Anna! I’m a creative at heart and love to find special and fun ways to make and preserve memories for my family – whether through DIY crafts, special rituals and traditions, digital scrapbooking or personalized keepsakes.

My husband, Ben and myself with our three beautiful children, Logan, Cameron and Adalynn.
I’ve always had a passion for memory preservation. When I was younger and not involved in my demanding ballet program, you could find me happily scrapbooking, creating photo collages as gifts to others, or scribbling in my numerous journals. Now that I’m older and have a family, it’s even more important to me that I continue preserving the precious memories we are creating together, so that one day my children can look back and remember the experiences we shared throughout the years, as well as obtain a deeper understanding of their immediate and extended family.
My hope through this blog, is to create a sense of excitement that will inspire you to create and preserve those special memories in your life as well. In addition to sharing my own personal memories, I’ll be writing articles on various ways to capture or create memories, how to involve your children in memory preservation, and how to preserve not only photos but also unique items including jewelry, clothing and even handwriting! I’ve even included a special section devoted to the importance of creating your own or someone else’s life story, and how to go about doing this. You can read more if you’re interested in learning more about why I decided to start this blog.
I look forward to having you on this journey with me as we laugh, smile, cry and reminisce about these very important moments in our lives.
