Taken from the SCRAPBOOK UPDATE site...Yesterday, Memory Makers Magazine issued a public statement on their message board confirming their plans to shut down after the Sept/Oct. 2009 issue.The statement, issued in the name of F+W Media Crafts/Genealogy & Special Sales Vice President Teri Mollison, indicates that the company is canceling the Memory Makers Masters contest as part of the magazine's shutdown.The passion and dedication of the Memory Makers contributors, advertisers, vendors, staff, and readers these past 13 years is what has made this business so rewarding for those of us fortunate enough to publish the magazine. Sadly, in light of increased industry consolidation, severe advertising cut backs, poor economic conditions, and lack of new consumers coming to the hobby, we cannot continue to profitably publish the magazine on- or offline. As we work to bring this last issue to closure, however, I want to take a moment and thank you for your role in crafting the Memory Makers story. The beautiful thing about this magazine is that it has memorialized the scrapbookers and scrapbooking companies forever that really launched this exciting hobby. We are proud and thankful for that heritage.The company's Memory Makers Magazine website will continue in operation, as will the Memory Makers Books publishing imprint and their Great American Scrapbook Conventions.
Isn't it sad to see another industry magazine closing up? Just had to share what I found out.

prioritizing photos
OK - There is a challenge at Scrapbook.com to teach a friend to scrapbook.
I was reading on Stacy Julian's blog (the former editor of Simple Scrapbooks) about the process she uses for prioritizing and printing event photos. Check out her blog post here http://stacysbigpicture.typepad.com/altogether_too_happy/2009/05/happy-birthday-taft.html
I really hope the link works.
I know we all do things differently, but this sounds pretty cool. Now, I just need to learn to carry through with any process the upload and get my pictures printed.
