BOOTHS AVAILABLE
Top Ten Tips
for Managing Your Photos by Sister Raymond
In this
booth, Debbie Raymond shared her TOP TEN TIPS for getting your photos out of
digital (or shoebox) storage and into scrapbooks, blogs, history albums, and
more. Debbie, Anna Jean Skidmore, and others had lots of ideas and
examples. Photo collecting and sharing
has changed and overwhelmed many of us in the digital age. We’ve amassed
thousands of photos on our phones and hard drives – but can’t figure out how to
organize, share, and display our precious images. And, if we’re digital
immigrants with analog-era minds, we don’t even know where to begin. Come to
our booth and help us discover solutions and share your photo strategies.
Family
Tree-Research/Histories/Record Keeping by Sister Harris
Family Tree is a program that is still in the Beta form but before long
will take the place of Family Search and New Family Search programs. We are encouraged to use it now. You will be able to correct relationships,
dates and spelling. Photos can be added
along with histories. Indexing helps to
get more on-line research to search. An
idea on how to keep the records will be available as well as other suggestions
on what to include in writing histories.
Various types of completed histories will be available to look
through. Researching is like a treasure
map; clues need to be followed, but along the way, unexpected “treasures” are
collected.
Good Books
by Sister Parkinson, Sister Willmore, Sister Stephens and Sister Grewe
Are you tired of being in the same place, never having any fun, always
having to do what others want, taking care of children and their schedules and feeling
like every day looks just like the one before it? Link to book ideas and find
all kinds of “relief” from a hum-drum life.
Good books will carry you to far-away places, create mysteries for you
to solve, provide humor and ways to look at life differently, give you
something to look forward to at the end of another challenging day, inspire you
to try new things and stimulate your mind.
Open new horizons – read for life!
