I had too much stuff. My house looked tidy on the surface, but every drawer, every closet, every nook and cranny, AND the two storage units were full. I had to take things out of the storage units in order to get in. I was drowning.

I spent two years getting it under control and moved from two storage units and a 1200 square-foot 3-bedroom condo to a 1-bedroom, 400 square-foot apartment with a 3 x 3 storage locker.  And I don't miss a thing.

Learning to handle my 'prized' collections was eye-opening. I thought that if I got rid of the thing, I'd lose the memory. I found out that wasn't true. A photograph could very easily take me back to the weekend, the concert, the family gathering, even to the thrill of finding that new miniature shoe.

This led me to look for ways to make virtual photo albums that looked good, were low-tech, and hopefully didn't cost a lot of money. I'd already spent enough on this stuff and didn't need to spend any more.

This is how the course 'TShirt Memory Album' started. I made a few for myself, then gave templates to a few people, then I wrote the course.

It uses free software, (Canva) so there isn't anything to buy after the course. I've included a free template, and you get access to hundreds more free templates in Canva.  If you can take a picture with your phone, you can make a virtual photo album.
