Paperclipping: The Video Podcast | Design Your Story

Today’s Quick Tip for the Paperclipping Members is a suggestion from viewer, Ashley Moseley. Her tip is an inexpensive alternative for acrylic albums. Watch the video to find out what it is.

The coupon for a discount on the Membership is still available on the Membership Information Page and will be there for a little while longer. Take advantage of the discount while you can!

Computer Log

Last year we discovered our young computer geek has forgotten that his body needs activity, too–not just his brain. We started requiring a certain amount of physical activity and limited his time on the computer.

Since he was having a hard time remembering, I made this for him…

We weren’t sure if he’d actually crack it open, but he really liked it and so far it seems to be helping.

Inside the cover I placed a picture of him doing something physical. Pointing to it is a hand that says “this.” Below is another pointing hand that says, “before this,” and a photo of him with his greatest love.

Not only does it help Blake (and us) remember that he’s supposed to do something physical because of the “PA” initial he must check before logging in his time, it will also be a fun record for him later. I expect to add a handful of the numerous pictures I’ve taken of him at a computer.

I used Technique Tuesday’s date stamp to make the log, and Autumn Leaves’s stamps to decorate the bottom of the pages.

You may not have a computer geek with a serious addiction, but you may have someone who loves the TV a little too much. Or maybe your children need to mark their progress reading books, picking up their room, or fulfilling responsibilities around the house.

Whether it’s a log or a regular minibook, I think Ashley’s money-saving tip is a fantastic idea.
