Hi ,

I did it again.

Last week, I spent the entire Thanksgiving holiday with my family and didn’t take a single photo. In the words of Homer Simpson, “Doh!”

Here’s the thing: Just because I didn’t take any photos doesn’t mean that the event never happened. I still have the story to tell. I still have things from the day that I want to remember.

My Solution

I decided to stick with my plan to tell authentic stories. I simply created a scrapbook page with no photos. I told my story and explained why there weren’t any images. This is just real life.

How did your Thanksgiving holiday go? Did you capture photos of your favorite people? Did you get the perfect shot of stuffed turkey or deviled eggs? However it went, make sure to tell it authentically.

Love and creative success,

Jen White, Owner of Digital Scrapper
