Last month, we asked Awesome digital organizer Lisa Mast to come hold our hands and help us get our photos and other digital memories organized. Good news, friends! Lisa is back this week for another conversation with Meg that is an absolute game-changer for what to DO with all of your amazing photos! She has a list packed with ideas to share with the Awesome Nation that go beyond the basic photo book or calendar. NOW IS THE TIME to get started on your photo projects for the holidays, but seriously, these ideas for telling your story thourgh photos can be used year-round!
Also, this is a fantastic time to become a Super Star Awesome! There are so many fun things happening for Super Star supporters of this show through Patreon. Bonus episodes, ad-free episodes (!), gift exchanges (!!), and texting for starters. Come check out what we've got going on and let your awesome shine even brighter by becoming an official Super Star on Patreon!
