One Simple Project to Turn Summer Memories into a Keepsake plus, a special invitation to a family-friendly fundraiser close to my heart
Hey, Pals,
We’re soaking up the last rays of summer over here—wrapping up camp days, squeezing in final pool splashes, and prepping for one last beach adventure. I hope your summer has been everything you needed it to be: joyful, sun-kissed, and full of memory-making moments.
As your Photo Bestie, you know I’m always on a mission to help you move those special snapshots off your phone and into real-life memory makers. And this month, I’ve got a project I’m totally obsessed with—and I think you’re going to love it, too.
The 4×6 Journal Envelope Project
Here’s the idea:
Print 10–20 of your favorite photos from the month, write a little journal entry about your family time, and pop it all into a DIY envelope that folds perfectly into a memory pocket. It’s simple, sweet, and so meaningful.
Before you know it, you’ll have a whole year of stories, smiles, and snapshots tucked into a beautiful box.
Pro Tips:
-
Print the template on cardstock for a sturdier envelope
-
Add flair with washi tape or stickers
-
Prep all 12 envelopes ahead of time (you’ll thank me later)
-
Store them in a photo box labeled with the year
Just imagine flipping through these with your kids in 10, 20, or even 50 years.
It’s not just a craft—it’s a legacy in the making.

And Something From the Heart…
This September, my chapter of Fostering Hope Philly NE is hosting a family-friendly Bingo Night—and I’d be honored if you’d join us or help spread the word.
