Summer is just around the corner. It is hard to believe that it is on its way! Here are a few tips to get us ready for those summer vacations. Don't leave home without them!

Bring a small notebook to write down what you did and how you felt about the days activities at the end of each day. Include funny or neat things that happened, who got sunburned, and what you learned about the place you went. This will help you to journal your pictures.

You could also take the opportunity to interview those in your company by asking them what they liked best about the vacation. Record this in your notebook. You can then go back and refer to it when you are creating your scrapbook.

Be prepared. Depending on the type camera you own, make sure you have plenty of film, memory cards, batteries, chargers and tapes.

Develop your film when you get home. Try to keep up on your film developing so that your rolls of film do not get lost. Then put the photos and your journaling together so that when you get around to doing your scrapbook you will be ready to roll without trying to remember the details.
