Line from Lisa
I hope this finds you warm and cuddled up hopefully in one of our wonderful new fleece or sherpa blankets! I love mine and so does my fur baby. She even huffs at me if I don’t have it put over me so she can lay down and cuddle on it with me. They make great gifts and you can make one in a jiffy. Check out all the new designs here to keep all your loved ones snuggled up this winter!
Also how many of you are on countdown to graduation? It really is just a few short months away. If you want some great tips and ideas mark your calendar and join me as I share with you some great ways to make this time special for your grad from the party to move in day at college! I look forward to helping relieve the stress of this day for you, so register HERE for this free class.
And those that need a little girl’s get away, join us for a photo workshop weekend in Branson, MO. We will be having lots of fun working on our projects and also some time for a few other great activities. Check out the details under Events on my website.
Talking about Events – this month is our Family History Event on February 25th and it’s free to learn more about preserving your family history. Just register here to attend virtually or receive the recording. I’m also including a link to a free 5 generation family chart here.
I look forward to hearing from you if I can assist you with any of your projects. Whether you are stuck using the software or just overwhelmed and not sure how to use Storage or get your media digitized. I’m your girl and I love hearing from you. Reach out here to set up a time that works for both our schedules!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Lisa
Photo Tip:
iCloud is a Sync Service, Not a Backup
How many times have you seen this message? Many people think they are fine with iCloud backing up their photos. They are actually syncing them and if you remove them from your phone, they are removed from iCloud. What are you really paying for? Learn more from this blog. If you’re tired of paying iCloud for storage, then give me a call and talk about owning your storage and getting your photos truly backed up once and for all. If you own storage and are not sure how to get them from iCloud – which many of my clients had no idea about, here you go.
How to upload your photos from iCloud to your FOREVER Storage Account:
1. Sign in at iCloud.com. Click “Photos” and select a photo or video. Hold the shift key to select the first and last photos or videos that are consecutive, or hold the command key to select multiple photos or videos that are nonconsecutive.
2. Click and hold the download icon in the upper corner of the window. If you want to download your content as it was originally captured or imported, choose “Unmodified Original.” For JPEG or H.264 format — including edits, and even if it was originally in HEIF or HEVC format — choose “Most Compatible.”
3. Click “Download.”
Client Spotlight
Congratulations to our Client of the Month, Mary Jo Jared. Mary Jo is an avid photo keeper and loves taking photos of her grandson, Easton. She hosted two home shows this past month with me and shared FOREVER with ten of her friends. This is what Mary Jo has to say about FOREVER:
“I love that FOREVER is forever and I don’t have to worry about the future of my photos for my kids and grands. I love the quality of the products and I love digital scrapbooking. I love that I can make it as simple or as detailed as I want. I also love the customer service I get.” You can also read her Google Review and she has a $25 Gift Certificate heading her way.
I appreciate any and all Google Reviews and I’d appreciate it if you would add yours at Google Review – you may be next month’s Client of the Month!
