Homeschool Memoirs - Week 6

***This week I want to invite you to take a moment and post a Summer Photo Essay memoir. Starting from around the official date of Summer to this past week - just give a basic summary of your summer as I know someone of you are photoholics! Haha! Make sure you jot down your memoirs about each photo so everyone can read about your summer. You can do the essay however you want. You can journal a lot of just caption the photo! Can’t wait to see what you all do!***

I've really been enjoying this weekly reflection. Although, I almost skipped this one! I am a photoholic. There is no doubt about that. However, I could not find an easy way to put together a photo collage. It was frustrating & I'm not going to share how long it took me to finally realize that Smilebox would have something for me to use! ::sigh:: I wasn't planning on using a slideshow, but it was the easiest way for me to share the photos. Hint: If the photos go by too slowly for you, just click "stop" in the bottom right corner. Then you can click "next" at your own speed.
