Although scrapbooking is primarily a visual way to remember events, people and activities; StoryCorps is sponsoring the National Day of Listening on Thanksgiving. StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit project whose mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening.
From their site: “This Thanksgiving, StoryCorps asks you to start a new holiday tradition—set aside one hour on Friday, November 28th, to record a conversation with someone important to you. You can interview anyone you choose: an older relative, a friend, a teacher, or a familiar face from the neighborhood.
You can preserve the interview using recording equipment readily available in most homes, such as tape recorders, computers, video cameras or a pen and paper. Our free Do-It-Yourself Guide is easy to use and will prepare you and your interview partner to record a memorable conversation, no matter which method of recording you prefer.
We hope that you’ll make a yearly tradition of listening to and preserving a loved one’s story. The stories you collect will surely become treasured keepsakes, growing more valuable with each passing generation.“
An idea for your scrapbooks – you can use excerpts from these stories as the journaling on your pages! Or include a copy of the CD with your page.
Class Reminders – Advanced Wire Wrapping (see pix below), Quilting, Candle Stamping, Holiday Cards and more!
And, join us for weekday late nights this holiday season - for shopping, or working on projects in our workshop. Our holiday hours are Monday through Friday, 1 to 8 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
