It's been five weeks since my last post on this blog.
I'm in the process of creating a Storybook (using the Creative Memories program) but my progress was seriously curtailed when I decided to experiment with my daughters recommendation: http://www.blurb.com/
It was my undoing until the light went on and I made the choice to switch back to the program more familiar to me. WHY? she wails, must I learn everything the hard way?
I have also dabbled a bit with Picasa editing programs and made a collage of some England photo favs -- while I can't claim any expertise (it appeared by accident on the screen), I shall post the effort anyway. Getting it large scale into my book will be the trickier feat.
The quandary I face is this: do I close my blog and make it officially the keepsake of our Oxbridge 2008 adventure or do I keep going? I have certainly enjoyed the experience of journalling in this forum; it has provoked a fondly held dormant dream to write things down for posterity.
*sigh*
I understand more fully, the satisfaction my daughter must feel - in blogging and photographing her life as it unfolds. I think (with horror) at the shoeboxes full of neglected memories that our forebears live with - the things we find when we bury our dead and sort through the stuff left behind....not a travesty I want to copy.
*sigh*
I have also read a great deal since returning home - and of course, the daily regular routine of life is a pace that makes these "extras" more difficult to accommodate.
I shall think some more but thanks for listening eh?
