New Sizes for Wall Art

Jane Sadek

MEMORY SHARING: CANVAS PRINTS & METAL PANELS IN NEW SIZES

Two Ways to Share the Love in Many Sizes

If you’d like to take your images out into the world, then FOREVER has two ways to hang them on the wall and a variety of sizes to choose from. Whether it’s for your wall, a gift for others or even for your business, FOREVER can take care of you.

You can create wall art on Canvas Prints or Metal Panels and if you prefer something for a counter or desk, then FOREVER also has Table Top Panels.

Canvas Prints

Canvas Prints give you a lot of variety. Whether you want one standout portrait for a wall, a collage of photos on a canvas or a collage of canvases, this can all be achieved with these versatile wall pieces. These examples happen to have people in them, but pets, hobbies and encouraging and inspiring text can all be part of your personal creation.

These gorgeous, premium-quality, textured, museum-wrapped, satin-finished canvases are printed in archival quality ink. The 1.5 inch sides are printed and wrapped on four sides for a custom look and the satin finish cuts down on glare. A metal sawtooth hanger is already on the back for your convenience.

What’s more, they now come in nine different sizes, so you can let your imagination go wild. Squares like 8X8 and 12X12, as well as large format sizes like 24X36, 20X24 and 16X20 have been around for a long time. Now they are adding traditional photo sizes like 8X10, 11X14, and 20X30. Perhaps the most exciting is the new 12X36 that allows wonderful landscape shots, with or without people.

Metal Wall Panels

Though quality canvas has been the classic standard for a long, long time, metal wall panels could be what you are looking for if you are looking for brighter colors, a flat surface and a more modern feel.

FOREVER’s Metal Panels are created with premium Chromaluxe®. You’ll enjoy clean, crisp edges and a vibrant long-lasting finish. The glossy coating enhances color saturation and contrast while providing resistance to scratches, moisture and UV-induced fading. Your print will include Shadow mounting hardware for effortless installation and a sleek, floating appearance.

The popularity of these panels has caused FOREVER to expand the number of sizes these panels come in. From traditional 8X10 to large format 24X36, you’ve got five different choices, for single hanging images or collages.

Tabletop Panels

Showcase your favorite family photo, or landscape with tabletop panels. They feature an easel back, but they also have slots to hang them on the wall. The panels come in 5X7 and 8X10 and you can create them for a vertical or horizontal format. They’re made from 1/4″ thick durable high-gloss hardboard which is uv resistant and scratch-free, because of the Chromaluxe® coating.

And there’s something else! Use a dry erase pen and they become a write board! How cool is that!!

Whether you want to dress up your home or celebrate something special for someone else, this variety of wall and table top panels gives you plenty of ways to express yourself and show off your art. Whose going to get lucky on your list?

Genealogy Geniuses On Call

Jane Sadek

MEMORY KEEPING: CAPTURE THE PAST WITH FOREVER GENEALOGY

Growing the Roots of Your Tree

Memory Keepers do all kinds of things. Some of us became the Family Historian unexpectedly, finding ourselves flooded with media from the past we needed to do something with. Others are the eager hunters and gatherers of every family photo, reel, slide, tape etc. Still others reach further into the past, seeing out the roots of their family trees, ever joyful to receive a notification that a new family member has been found. Still others take a DNA test and after reading it wonder what to do next. FOREVER has solutions for all these projects.

Because FOREVER does so many kinds of things, from digitization and storage to photo books and greeting cards, many customers don’t even realize there’s a Genealogy Department at FOREVER and if they do, then it’s sometimes a mystery exactly what happens there. Well, if you’re trying to grow the roots and limbs of your family tree, then you should get to know the Genealogy Department at FOREVER.

This is Katie and Keri, they are professional genealogist with a network of contacts all over the world. Can’t make a connection to your fabled Revolutionary War Patriot, Texas Settler or Confederate Soldier? They can follow the breadcrumbs and solve the mystery. Does your research stop where your language skills can’t go? Look to these ladies to carry your further down the road of your family history. Do you have the language skills but don’t have the contacts to break down a brick wall in your research? Then you need Katie and Keri.

Four Ways to Connect

The easiest and cheapest way to get genealogical help is to plug into the quarterly Genealogical Group Events. These ladies present practical how-to tidbits from their vast experience, introduce new sources of information and how to use them and they have Q&A sessions. The most recent event was back in August and another one will be coming soon.

There’s also a one time consultation that gives you one hour, one-on-one with one of our experts. You can tell them where you are, what you need and where you’d like to go. During the call they will help you figure out next steps, recommend resources and help you solve genealogical conundrums. That might be all you need to start your genealogical journey or to get you back on course in the journey you are already on. Or perhaps during the call, you’ll realize you need even more help and book further sessions with them.

If you’re a do-it-yourself kind of person, but you’d like to have a little help, then all you need are coaching sessions. You can buy one hour coaching sessions in packages of 3 months, 6 months or a year.

If you just need someone to do it for you, then you’ll be interested in the Research Project Plans. This would be me. I love the results, but I’m not doing any research, so I’d love to have someone do it for me. But even seasoned genealogist sometimes run into brick walls. Perhaps its a lack of resources, a lack of time or a lack of language skills, but even the best researcher, amateur or professional, can run out of available options. Research Project Plans can solve these dilemmas.

So, if growing your family tree is a thing you love, be aware that we have all these resources to help out.

Leaving Pismo for Santa Barbara

Jane Sadek

MAKING MEMORIES: PISMO LIGHTHOUSE SUITES & CASA DE HERRERO

Pismo Lighthouse Suites

I can’t abandon Pismo without a shout out to our wonderful accommodations. After the grandeur of the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort, pretty much anything else would have to be a step down, but we didn’t have to step very far down. Pismo Lighthouse Suites proved to be an excellent choice for a stay.

Don’t expect swanky, because it’s not, but it is nice. Very roomy with a bedroom totally separate from the living area and a full kitchen. Bill didn’t think much of the décor, but I thought it was very functional and everything was clean. Who could ask for more when you’re watching your pocketbook at little?

One thing we certainly loved was the breakfast every morning, served in a community room and if you couldn’t find something you liked, then you are really too picky. I’d sure stay here again.

Casa de Herrero in Montecito

Bill usually leaves most of the vacation planning to me, but when he does make a suggestion, it’s a jewel. I didn’t find it in any of my research, but it should be on every must-see list for Santa Barbara. It’s a little pricey and hard to schedule, but it is a gem.

The home is open to the public at 10 AM and 2 PM on Wednesdays and Saturdays – PERIOD! And the tickets are $50 per person. I’ll wait for you to catch your breath. If budget is not a constraint and you can be there on their schedule, then you have to go. You will love it. Lotus Land was $60 each, but it seems to me there was a whole lot more to it. Still, I’m glad I had the opportunity to go.

We pulled into Montecito about 1:15 PM and had to kill about half and hour in a shopping center parking lot. We couldn’t just go hang out by the Casa. They keep the gate closed until a few minutes before the tour and you aren’t allow to park in the neighborhood. Parking is at a premium everywhere in Montecito and the signs at the shopping center were very threatening, so we couldn’t even lock up the car and go for a walk. We had to pretend one or the other of us was visiting one of the establishments, while the other guarded the car.

Finally, it was almost time for them to open their gate, so we made our way to the home. When the tour started, we were informed we couldn’t take photos inside, but think San Simeon’s dining room turned into a full house. Very Spanish and a little dark.

The original builder and owner of the house was George Fox Steedman from San Luis Obispo, who started out as a metalsmith and woodworker, threw in a few real estate deals and became filthy stinking rich. The house had a metalsmithing and woodworking studio where Mr. Steedman pursued his interests. The house is full of valuable antiques from the Golden Age of Spain, but they are pretty dark and depressing.

Counterpoint to the interior with it’s nod to the Inquisition, outside was delightful and you could take photos. And that’s what you’ll see on the photo book pages I’ve included below.

We’re Getting Cozy Now!

MEMORY SHARING: WARM UP THEIR WINTER WITH PERSONALIZED PILLOWS & WOVEN BLANKETS

New Print Products in Time for Holiday Giving

There’s always something new at FOREVER, but these new products, which became available on the 4th, will warm your heart: Pillows & Woven Blankets.

I’m careful to say WOVEN blankets, because blankets have been a part of the FOREVER offerings for a while: Fleece Blankets, Sherpa Blankets and Outdoor Blankets in sizes from 30X40 to 60X80. But these new blankets? Get ready to snuggle in a whole new way. There’s just nothing that feels like the weight of a woven blanket and the look is wonderful!

And the pillows? Well, that’s a whole new thing. I’ve had people ask for them before, but they just weren’t available. So, imagine my surprise when I sat on a Zoom call and heard the pillows were coming. With three great sizes you’ll be able to create wonderful things for special people.

Blanket & Pillow Ideas

Whether you choose a plush, sherpa or woven look, blankets are a great way to show you know what’s important to the ones you love. If a team or a school has their heart, then create a blanket featuring the colors and logos of their fan love. Pet lovers rave over blankets with photos of their furry, feathered and scaled friends. Grandparents will snuggle extra warmly when their grandkids are on the blanket. Hobbyist will preen with glee over a blanket with their antique car, flowers from their garden or other items highlighting their interests. These gifts say I see and hear what’s important to you.

Another great way to use the blankets is to capture heritage photos. Give kids pride in where they come from, by highlighting the important people from their past – even from generations they never met. It builds self esteem to shield them from the slings and arrows of everyday living. Older members of the family will cherish scenes from their childhood and early marriage or images of the people who have gone before them.

Pillows can be made with all these themes as complementary accessory to a blanket gift or they can stand alone. Either way they’ll be cherished by the recipient and shown with pride.

With all these heart, head and feet warming gift ideas, whose holidays will you brighten with a blanket and/or pillow?

MEMORY KEEPING: CUSTOMER SERVICE YOUR WAY!

Call Out or Scroll Down for Help

When it comes to Memory Keeping, I am at your service. Whether you’re brand new to the idea of preserving and sharing your memories, a long time scrapbooker or my very best digital customer, I hope you know I always love to hear from you. I’m always interested in the projects you’re working on and if you’re having problems, I want to know about it. Often, I know the answer right away and you’re back in business in the click of a button

I can’t know everything though and for some things we’ll need to reach out to FOREVER’s customer service department. Often I’ll send the inquiry to them via email and copy you in, so they’ll know you’re not alone and we’ve addressed the basics already. However, you can also reach out to FOREVER on your own, if you like.

The black box above is in the right hand corner of each page. Click on Help Center and you’ll get this larger menu, which will give you Customer Service your way:

If you’d like to call, Customer Service is available Mon-Fri: 8am-9pm EST, Saturday and Sunday: 10am-6pm EST. I’m not a phone person myself, so I don’t call often, but when I do I find a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable person on the other end. Like all call-in services though, you will have to wait in a que, but it’s not usually an unreasonable wait.

I do most of my inquires via email. My situation is rarely urgent and with email I can explain the whole situation, including screen shots and photos. I immediately get back an email confirming FOREVER has gotten my inquiry and they provide a few FAQ’s and answers at the bottom of the email, which could potentially solve the problem on the spot and close out the request. Soon, I’ll have a personalized answer, which usually resolves my issue.

I’ve also used the chat feature. If it’s during chat hours, they get right back to me and if it’s an easy fix, the whole thing can be over in a couple of minutes. If they can’t solve it there, then they’ll put you in the que for a call.

Book Your Remote Assistance – Danno!

Sometimes, you may need remote assistance – especially if your computer blows up and you lose Artisan. You know that’s what happened to me in July. The old process was in place, but my conversations and the screen sharing were great. Since July, they’ve made a few changes. These days, you can go directly to the page above and schedule your screen sharing appointment with a technician. No more mystery as to when someone will call. This page is where you’ll log in when your session is scheduled. Easy peasy! (Client Concierge is for people having crops, so you won’t need that.)

So, if you run into trouble with FOREVER, you have a smorgasbord of solutions. Don’t hesitate to call on me or whatever version of customer service suits you. You’ll get the help you need.

Ornamental Things

Jane Sadek

MEMORY SHARING: USEFUL ORNAMENTS

Ornaments for the Tree and Beyond

What you see above, the snow globe ornament, is one of the wildest best sellers FOREVER has ever had. Or at least the wildest I can remember. They have great difficulty keeping them in stock. YEAR ROUND! So imagine how challenging it will be at Christmas. As popular as it is, it is only one of the many ornaments available from FOREVER.

We have ornaments in metal, glass, acrylic and the snow globe above. There are 6 different shapes and all are around 3″X3″ – 3″X4″. And colors – you have your pick! Now is a good time to order what you need for the holidays.

There are people who create a theme for their tree every year and order a new set of ornaments for it. Some make holiday ornaments of their kids for grandparents to commemorate each year. Some people create ornaments featuring their pets, their quilts, their cars. their hobbies. Though many people do buy the ornaments to put on their tree, you’d be amazed at all the ways people find to use them.

One of the most popular throughout the holiday season is to use them as gift tags. They dress up the gift and make a permanent memory of it. It’s great for all gifts, but imagine how wonderful they would be on a handmade gift! They also get used a lot as place cards. Set them in a place card holder or tie them to the napkin and the guest gets to take them home.

Year round the ornaments make great tags for luggage, backpacks, gym bags, you name it. They are wildly durable and immediately set your belongings apart from the rest. I keep one on my business tote. Imagine making a matching set for a group you’re traveling with. Lots of things to tag and so much fun.

Smart shoppers are making their lists and buying their presents, now. Last week I reminded you to order your holiday cards and in the weeks to come, I’ll be making more gifting suggestions. There’s no end to the possibilities!

Valet’s Uploader is Free All the Time!

Jane Sadek

MEMORY KEEPING: VALET IS THE WAY TO PLAY

The Uploader is Now FREE!

A couple of years ago, FOREVER developed image migration software just for the professional photo organizers of the world. Almost as an afterthought, they made a pared down version of it available to the rest of us and gave everyone a 60 Day free trial.

Since then, PRO Valet has become the industry standard for migration software and Ambassadors everywhere have shared the Valet trial version with their clients. At first, no one really expected the casual user version to go much of anywhere. Most people find the FOREVER app useful for synching the images they take with their phone to their storage account, but uploading from other devices to FOREVER was thought to be simple enough.

What Ambassadors discovered was their clients loved Valet and since it helps people upload their memories to FOREVER, why wouldn’t we want to make it readily available, just like the app for their phones. Well, the FOREVER executives heard the plea and responded. Last month a free version of the FOREVER Uploader becomes permanently avaialble.

The PRO Version will remain available for sale. I find it helpful in helping my customers. The full version of Valet will remain available for sale and it offers all the powerful tools the PRO version does, but for only your account, rather than multiple accounts. The Free Uploader will make uploading your memories from your devices a snap.

Valet can help you upload all the images you have on your computer and related devices. Valet can keep the organization you have on your computer or if you don’t have any organization (which might be part of the problem) it will help you create nice neat little folders by date.

Valet can also help you rescue your photos from where they are scattered on the internet. Right now, Google Photos is the only cloud it works with, but Apple is on its way and others will follow.

The best part is you won’t have to justify the cost of it. Since it’s free, just get it and use it. You’ll find you love it!

Get Out Your Holiday Greeting List

Jane Sadek

MEMORY SHARING: GREETING CARDS THEY’LL LOVE

Would You Like to be a Holiday Hero?

If you’re in the habit of sending Holiday Greeting Cards, then I don’t have to tell you how appreciated they are by the people on your list. If you can’t remember the last time sent out cards, then why not do it this year?

FOREVER makes greeting cards easy all year long, but the holidays are their season. You can find gorgeous cards for Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas, New Years or whatever you celebrate right here on FOREVER. We’ve had gorgeous cards for a long, long time, but now there are more choices than ever. There are standard cards and foiled cards. There are three different card stocks. Every card has a long list of available fonts. You can edit the front as well as the back. You can set up a free Address Book and never have to worry again about addressing your cards. Many cards even have a choice of colors to choose from. There is seriously no reason to go to the fish or the fly.

So Why Now?

Why? Because now means you don’t have to worry about it later! No matter what your good intentions might be, you know you’re going to be running out of time. One day you’re putting out your Halloween decorations and the next you’ve got a NYE celebration hangover.

Seriously, here’s your to-do list.

  1. Gather up all your various address list from all the places you have them stored (including wherever you’ve ordered your cards from before) and upload them to FOREVER. This will be the hardest part and that’s why you start here. Getting databases to agree about anything is difficult, so get on it and get it done. If you have any questions along the way, call me or customer service. (And by the way, you won’t have to do this next year. The list stays on FOREVER forever – or until you take it down.)
  2. Go through your photos of the year and choose your favorites. They’ll be your friend and family favorites, too. Don’t forget the pets! (If you’re a FOREVER storage customer, you could have been adding hearts to your favorites all year long and only have to choose your favorites among favorites.
  3. Shop the Cards on FOREVER: https://www.forever.com/create-and-print/cards-and-stationery/cards. You’ll find helpful filters on the left side to help you pinpoint exactly what you want and if you already have what you want and just need a place to print it – we’ve got that, too. Even folded cards! Or, if you want to design something special, don’t forget Artisan 6 or you can have me design it for you.
  4. Personalize your card and hit print. Once you’ve selected which card design fits you best, FOREVER will walk you through all the steps you’ll need to take to get exactly what you want.
  5. Feel smug for weeks on end, because you are so far ahead of the game. Stuff your addressed cards while you binge some great series. Then send.

Are you still here? Go order your Holiday Cards!

Digitization Just Got Better

Jane Sadek

MEMORY KEEPING: THE BEST JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER

Always Striving to Improve

One of the best things about FOREVER is that they never just sit around congratulating themselves on how great they are. Instead they continue to review every single thing about our services and listen to every comment and suggestion that comes their way. Their motto could be, if if’s not broken, improve it. Another great thing is that instead of spending money on advertising, they invest in making FOREVER better.

The latest improvement introduced is in the Digitization department. I mean you do know that not too long ago they opened the largest, most technically advanced digitization center in the world. But that wasn’t enough. They felt the online experience for our clients should match the world class treatment their media was getting in the digitization center. So they took a long, hard look at every inch of the process and considered how to make it better.

Improvements That Matter

I hate when a company raves about their new stuff, but it’s just a repackaging of the old stuff. That’s not what happened in the Digitization department. Here’s what they’ve done:

  1. A longer period of time to preview your project: Clients used to have 60 days from the time of digitization to decide what to do about their newly digitized items. For many, digitization is a huge investment, so people would just download their newly digitized images and hope for the best. FOREVER has extended that to 90 days. By extending the time the images can stay in the preview area, clients have more time to make arrangements for permanent storage, so they’ll have the best, rather than just hoping for it!
  2. Sharing from the preview area: In the past, to share newly digitized images, clients either had to move them to FOREVER storage or download them to their devices. Now, the images can be shared immediately from the preview area for 90 days. That’s better for new clients and also for the people they want to share with. What’s more, the preview area has been improved to operate just like regular storage. No more handling things one way in the preview area and another way once the items are in your storage. The experiences will be the same.
  3. Making it easier to do what’s next: Ordering, filling and returning a digitization box for the first time can be challenging. Even though I explain exactly what is going to happen to each new client, there always seems to be something they miss. “Oh, I didn’t realize I would be charged for extra items,” is the usual one, even though I know I explained the box would be inventoried and they would be billed for anything over the digitization allowance they’d purchased. So, it’s no surprise that whatever I told them about permanent storage, facial recognition and video streaming is totally forgotten by the time they get their images in the preview area. So, FOREVER gently reminds them and gives them the opportunity to purchase these services right in the preview area.
  4. Another 90 Days of Video Streaming for New Paying Customers: One thing new customers love is the click & play of videos available in the preview area. So, when that new customer purchases storage for their digitized videos, they get a 90-Day extension of free video streaming, so they can continue to click & play their videos. Without video streaming, they must download to play. That’s a $70 bonus for new storage clients.
  5. Something that matters to me: Digitization projects now have a home, just like print projects do. I ordered my first print project from FOREVER back in March of 2021. If I want to take a look at it or show it to someone, it’s right there in my account, just like all the images I have stored in my account. Now, Digitization is the same way. Even if I’ve spread the items in a box all over my account, I can still go to the digitization tab and see each project. It’s another short quick way to access my stuff.

Better Follow-up

Once your digitized images have been in the preview area for 30 days, FOREVER reaches out to remind you to save them and it reminds you of the various ways you can preserve those memories, while pointing out the dangers of merely downloading. This is the easiest way to go about purchasing the amount of storage you need for your project AND you have the choice of a one-time payment or a 24 month payment plan.

If you choose to purchase permanent storage for your project, FOREVER follows up with an email to remind you to download the free FOREVER app and to introduce other wonderful services you might be interested in taking advantage of.

I hope these new improvements inspire you to take the leap and order your first or second, or third…digitization box!

Print Products Coming & Going

Jane Sadek

MEMORY SHARING: HELLO & FAREWELL IN PRINT PRODUCTS

One of the things I love about FOREVER is that there’s always something new – a new feature in storage, a new product in print, a new event to enjoy and even new software from time to time. But sometimes there are also some farewells. Let’s talk about some of both!

Hello to Greeting Cards, Thermal Cups, Towels & More

FOREVER has been ever so busy this year. I’ve seen many products come along. Some of them are not completely new products, just new styles of standard products. Take Greeting Cards for instance.

FOREVER has been a great source for stationary for many years, but they don’t rest on their laurels. They are constantly adding new, fresh designs to match current trends. Have you seen the price of cards in retail outlets, like grocery and drug stores. Oh my, by the time you put a stamp on them you’ve made a huge investment, so cards from FOREVER are a great way to save money and keep up the tradition of greetings in the mail.

There’s always something new and you can customize them all with your own photos, multiple fonts and colors. And the personalized touch sends a message your recipients will appreciate – so next time you want graduation announcements, wedding stationary, holiday greetings or any other cards, see us first.

This year FOREVER has been very prolific in creating completely new choices. Just last month they added two new thermal cups – a 20 ounce tumbler and a thermal mug – to complement the 40 oz Tumbler with a handle. You can get drinkware lots of places, but not with your own photos and words on them!

And Towels! Earlier this year, FOREVER introduced beach towels, kitchen towels and golf towels. I ordered a tea towel right away and display it proudly in my kitchen. They’ve been a big hit! But there’s also an au revoir in the near future!

Golf Towels Will Be Seasonal

It may have more to do with their vendor than it does with FOREVER, but it’s been announced that Golf Towels will only be available seasonally. If, like me, you thought, “Christmas Presents!”, then you need to order what you want now, because after September, they’ll be unavailable for a while. Don’t miss out!

Only in Artisan

Most of the items you might want are in both Create & Print and Artisan. Create & Print gives you thousands of templates to help you design your photo gifts, stationary and such. Artisan gives you a blank page, so you can create your own from scratch, but Artisan also has some items or sizes of items you can’t get in Create & Print. Like Mousepads! Did you know FOREVER had mousepads? Well, you do now! And folded cards? I’ve used those for Christmas greetings the last few years. So, if you’re looking for a particular item and can’t find it in Create & Print, I might be able to get it done in Artisan.

Fond Farewells

Fashions change, trends change and tastes change. What was hot last year might be passe this year. FOREVER keeps up with that, too. So, sometimes things are just taken out of the product line. Take water bottles for instance. Before giant thermal cups became a thing, stainless steel water bottles with a twist cap were all the rage. The stainless steel bottle was discontinued to make room for the 40 ounce Tumbler.

One of the most recent changes to the FOREVER line up has been a readjustment of the calendar products. Why? Because there’s been a readjustment to what people actually use. We’ve several styles of calendars available for a long time, but virtually all the calendars sold were 12X18. So, they trimmed the line to fit the demand and all calendars are 12X18!

One other item has gone away this month and that’s 8.5X11Page Prints. Unless you’re a digital scrapbooker, you may not even know what a page print is. Some people like to design their scrapbook pages in Artisan and then print them for a traditional scrapbook, rather than for a photo book. This change has come about, because the makers of traditional scrapbooks are no longer offering 8.5X11 albums. Instead 8X8 albums are preferred and those Page Prints we will continue to carry.

So that’s what up in gorgeous items designed to share your memories! What’s your next project! Can help?
