Mount vacation photos in an
attractive scrapbook.

Preserving Memories

Are they in a drawer? An armoire? A shoebox in the closet? If you're like millions of overworked parents, you've got the photos of your family vacation stashed so far from easy access you're effectively saying: "We may as well ignore that trip." And however you've got them stored, chances are the photos themselves -- and all the warm details they capture -- are at risk of deteriorating to the point of ruin.

The good news is that, with a little organization, planning, and a few basic supplies, you can document your family's shared experience in a way that keeps the memories crisp and safe for years of enjoyment. And you don't have to become a scrapbooking addict.
