🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! The first photo is of my sister & I celebrating America’s Bicentennial in 1976 at our home in Michigan. The 2nd is from today as we celebrate America’s 250th in Boston.

What surprised me is that I remember almost nothing about that day 50 (!) years ago. I’m so thankful someone (probably my mom or dad) took the photo, but I wish I knew the stories behind it.

As scrapbookers, we know our albums are about so much more than pictures. They’re about preserving the memories that photos alone can’t tell.

As you celebrate this Independence Day, don’t just take the photos - write down the names, the stories, the traditions, and the little details. Someday, those may become the most treasured part of the page.

❤️🤍💙 May God bless America, and may we never stop preserving the stories that matter. 🇺🇸

❓How are you celebrating this year's 4th of July?

🇺🇸 America turns 250 TOMORROW... and I don't want us to let this moment slip away. ❤️

How many times have we said, "I wish I had written that story down..." or "I wish I knew more about my family's history..."?

That's exactly why I created America 250: Stories Worth Saving.

This printable workbook is filled with thoughtful prompts to help you preserve:
⭐ Your Fourth of July memories
⭐ Family traditions
⭐ Heritage and ancestry
⭐ Stories from parents and grandparents
⭐ Patriotic page titles
⭐ Journaling prompts
⭐ A family interview
⭐ A photo scavenger hunt
⭐ A time capsule page
⭐ A coloring page
…and so much more!

And because I hope everyone will take time to document this once-in-a-lifetime milestone, I'm offering the workbook for just $2.50 in honor of America's 250th birthday. 🇺🇸

🎁 I'd also love to share a FREE printable! It's a beautiful keepsake page that gives you a little taste of what's inside the workbook and is perfect for recording one special America 250 memory.

Whether you're a scrapbooker, a journal keeper, a family historian, or simply someone who treasures your family's stories, I hope these pages inspire you to preserve the memories that matter most.

📥 I'll share the link in the comments to the shop section of my website where you'll find both the $2.50 workbook and the FREE printable.

❤️ What is one American tradition or family memory you hope future generations will know about?
