Watch for more information about getting Back to the Basics with storage, media conversion and photo project creation this fall.

Storage: Whether you have just purchased Forever storage or you have had it for years, I want to help you find the work flow and organization system that works best for you and your family.

Media Conversion:  Let’s get that old box of photos, slides and videos out of storage and determine the items you want to scan or convert to digital versions that can be shared.

Photo Projects: Are you overwhelmed with past projects that are undone?  Whether you are an avid Artisan user or you are loving the quick options with Design & Print.  We will break those projects into manageable pieces so you can see progress and check off those projects this fall.

Creative Memories – Click here to Shop

So many great products are being released each month, we will take time this fall to taken inventory of our projects and supplies to make sure we know what we need to finish those up.  Join us at our October Retreat or monthly workshops this Fall for a Mini Power Layout Breakout to help you with those traditional projects.

Don’t forget that Forever is now a great choice for printing high quality photo prints.  If you are interested in getting a $10 welcome coupon, sign up for a free intro account at: https://www.forever.com/ambassador/elizabethgoodson  This is a great partner for our traditional projects with CM.

Wrapping up the Lighten the Load Summer!

I don’t know about you but this has been a good focus for me this summer.  I may not have finished everything on my list but I did Lighten my Load this summer.  I made quite a bit of progress on my album pages in one of my ongoing photo projects, with your help I was able to clear the shelves of some of my extra Creative Memories inventory and I even package up a media conversion order that had been sitting for months and get it sent back to Forever to convert.

I know that my work is not done so don’t worry we will shift to a new focus this fall to keep going or get started whichever stage you are in.  But before we close out this wrap up, I would love to hear about what projects you got done or maybe that you wish you had made some progress on this season.

What is coming Next

I have a few fun things up my sleeves this Fall and don’t want you to miss out, I will continue to share here on the Blog but more details will be shared through e-mail.  Are you on my e-mail list and getting my messages?  Typically you will see something from me about once a week through e-mail.  If you have not been seeing those and know you are on my list already, be sure to check your Spam or Promotional folders with your e-mail service to be sure they are not getting hidden in there.

If you haven’t joined my e-mail list yet, you can do so by going to the About Section above and enter your e-mail address in there.

I also want to make sure I have correct mailing addresses for all of my clients and followers so you don’t miss a couple of extra special treats I am working on.  Please take a moment to go to the last e-mail you have received from me and go to the bottom of that message and Update Preferences.  You can add your address there, update your preferences like if you prefer Traditional or Digital photo projects as well as add your birthday.

Upcoming Events

I love to connect in person and help you see that progress with your own project.  Be sure to check the Events Page above to see the latest events and to sign up for the ones you want to join.  We have a workshop coming up Saturday, September 14th or a Retreat the weekend of October 11-13.  Each of these are great times to work on your own projects and ask your questions too.

Dreaming of a Fall Ladies Getaway Retreat

What happens in Vegas…

…sometimes just can’t stay in Vegas!

I have returned from my forth Forever LIVE – our annual convention where we as Forever Ambassadors along with Club Members, customers and home office staff gather each year for a time of connection, training and celebration along with a lot of fun and laughter too.

I look forward to this trip each year and especially look forward to reconnecting with the friends that I have made through Forever.

I am also very thankful my sister has joined me each year and is the best travel buddy I could ask for, she has become friends with so many of these special people too and has her own friends she reconnects with each each year too.  She is my constant cheerleader and ready to let me bound ideas off of her anytime.

With so many fun things shared and done while we were in Las Vegas, I thought it might be fun to include my top 10 list with you of things that I was excited to hear or do at Forever LIVE.

 

Elizabeth’s Top 10 List from Forever LIVE

10.  Glen Meakem’s New Book – The Gift of Forever was shared as a pre-release for those attending LIVE.  Glen is our CEO and founder and he along with his son have written the story of how he started Forever.  They signed copied during the weekend as well.  I have just started reading it and am excited to finish and share it with others.  The full release will be coming later this fall.

 

9.   Updates with Design & Print: Oh how I was so excited for a New Name – we now have a clearer name for our online Print application where you Design and Print, books, Wall Decor, Calendars, and more.  There will also be a few other new products coming this fall.  Watch for new the size for Wall Decor on Design and Print of 8×8 like we can already do with Artisan, there will be a new premium thicker paper for cards that is non-coated and an option to add gold foil inserts into your envelopes.

 

8.   Audio is HERE – We now have all 4 options, Photos, Documents, Video and Audio capabilities in our Storage accounts. I am excited to have this full memory keeping option for so many friends, family and customers who have those special audio tapes of weddings, sermons, solos, even voice mails.  The sound of someone’s voice can be so very special to us and is such a special part of our memory keeping solutions.

 

7.  Our Referral Program has gotten better with a 60 day coupon for referral coupons.  The greatest compliment you can give me is to refer a friend. I love that Forever’s Home Office helps me reward my customers, friends and family who help me share Forever with their friends and family.  Now we have the opportunity to use those referral coupons a bit longer.

 

6.  Beautiful Bellagio Fountain – Oh it was so very HOT the day we went downtown to see the strip but what a fun experience to see the fountain at the Bellagio hotel.  We arrived just a few minutes before the next song was to begin so we found our spot and it was worth the wait.  Here is a short video of our view of the fountain. This has been saved in my Forever account with my other trip photos and videos.

 

5.  The company is Thriving & Growing – It is good to hear the update from Glen how we are on target with his goal to grow this year by 30% is sales over last year and we are on target to have over 42 Million photos uploaded this year in safe and secure storage accounts.  We are meeting a need and reach new people each and every day.

 

4.  Photo PRINTS are HERE – My excitement is climbing as we continue down this list.  I have been waiting – not so patiently to have the ability to print from our Forever accounts again and now we can do it and it is even better than ever.  We have the high archival quality we know with all of our products and we no longer have to download and export and re-upload to another vendor to order.  I can print my photos for traditional scrapbooking or frames right from my Forever Account.

 

3.  Stepping out of my Comfort Zone as a Mainstage Speaker – What an honor to be one of the ambassadors chosen to help lead this year as a speaker.  Although I speak in front of groups fairly often with work this was a bit different and an opportunity to embrace my word of the year “GROW”.  I worked with an amazing fellow ambassador and through preparation and practice what was a bit nerve wracking at first became a experience that built confidence for us both as we stood before a room full of friends who were eager to hear what we had to share.

 

2. p2p 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash Party in Texas – Travel is always fun and when you can pair that with work with your photos it is extra fun for me.  I am excited to be joining a lot of great friends in Texas in the Spring for a weekend of digital scrapbooking fun.  I am looking forward to working on my own projects and learning new tips and ideas too.

And to top off the whole list, my #1 item is

  1. Forever LIVE 2020 next year will be in Orlando, FL – I had a hunch that we were headed to Disney and have to say I am a bit excited.  I have always been a Disney fan and even though I didn’t get to Disney World until my mid 30s I am excited to be headed back for this convention there on the property.  I am hoping I can twist my family’s arms and have them join me for some fun on one end or the other too for some family time at the parks.  I know that I will have a blast at Forever LIVE like we always do but I am also excited about the location and the bonus time we get to have there too.  If you are interested in joining us for Forever LIVE in Orlando you can join as a customer, Club member or Ambassador.

Well that may not have been the Las Vegas lists you were expecting but those were the Top 10 things that excited me about our trip last week.  Have you been traveling this summer?  Where have you been?  What have you enjoyed seeing and doing?

So excited to be back up and going with my Digital Scrapbooking
