Looking forward to spending a lot of time with family and friends over the next couple of weeks.

Even if you don't much like this season, you have to admit it is a great excuse for getting together with your loved ones, making new memories and remembering those that aren't around this year.

Just remember, presents you get don't really matter, it's the people that gave you them that really matter.

That's me starting to wind things down for Christmas and New Year now. 🎄

Though I'll not be doing my usual amount of work, I'll still be doing bits and pieces here and there.

Replies might be a bit slower because I'll be with friends and family and taking some rest time. But of course you can still get your life story recordings and audio/video guestbooks booked.

And if I don't see or speak to you I hope you are enjoying time with loved ones and have a great festive season!

Say 'Aye Do' to a video guestbook phone for your wedding next year.

This vintage American payphone-style guestbook will capture video of your guests as they send you well wishes and share fun stories from your special day.

You then get these videos edited together with the songs you choose to soundtrack your wedding and a perfect way to reminisce on such a special day.

You might just be able to spot it under the neon lights in this picture, It's just very far away compared to the beautiful surrounding display.

Decorations by Make Believe Events - Wedding & Event Decor and the venue is Òran Mór Weddings & Events

This is a great photo that almost captures your whole audio guestbook package.

You choose your audio guest book phone, I currently have 4 different colours & styles of audio guest book phones you can choose from to suit your wedding theme. Even a new video guest book phone. I have various picture frames you can select from to suit your style. Within the frames you get a sign to tell guests how to use the audio guest book and this is completely customised to your theme, I add any colours you like, text you want, graphics and styles all to incorporate this into the wedding.

You can also get reminder cards that you place on guest tables and give them a indication of what the guest book phone looks like. This helps them find the phone easier and make sure you get all the messages you can.

Something that I specifically do with the messages that people are left with after the wedding is that I edit them together with music from your wedding day which helps to tie your loves ones messages into the wedding even after the big day.

And then you get the audio delivered on a wee wooden USB and in a wee wooden box too.

Interruptions happen all the time, and sometimes when recording life stories.

So if I am in your home and your phone rings, a clock chimes or your dog wants some attention, that is fine. I always try to make recording your life story as comfortable and as relaxed as I can.

It's your story, your house and your time, so if you need a break from talking we can always stop and have a tea break.

So let's have a chat about your life story sometime, I'll bring a microphone and you can forget that it's even there. You have a lovely afternoon reminiscing and end up leaving your loved ones your legacy in an Audio Time Capsule that they can cherish forever.

😍 Look how amazing this box and USB look!

The best thing about these is they come with any audio/video guest book and life story recording.

Meaning you get a pretty nice way place to keep your audio safe and remember who made it all for you.

P.S. there's still time to order your life story recording gift certificate for Christmas!

December is here and it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas might actually be just around the corner!

If you are anything like me then you do not have your Christmas presents sorted yet. And you will be especially struggling to think of something for those parents and grandparents that already have everything.

Worry not because with the gift of a life story recording you can cover both your parents and grandparents presents at the same time. Your grandparents have the opportunity to record their life stories and feel like the centre of attention as they relive their favourite memories to be remembered forever. Then you can gift the recording of their story to your parents and present them with a way they can remember their parents legacy and voices forever.

Visit my website for more information on the gift of a lifetime and celebrate your family this Christmas.

I'm still reeling from winning the People's Choice award at this Creative Soup!!

I also got some feedback today from what the audience had to say about my Life In Fife project with one person saying it's an "Amazing and inspirational idea for our community" . ❤️ Thank you so much!

I promise I'll talk a bit more about Life in Fife soon and get the ball rolling with it in due course!

NEWS: Creative Soup event proves a very tasty hit!

A generous serving of some of the best creative talent Fife has to offer was served up at the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy recently – and it did not disappoint.

Creative Soup was the name of the event organised by OnFife in conjunction with CodeBase and Business Gateway to showcase the wealth of creative talent in the Kingdom.

Members of the public got behind the event, organised by Kate Pickering, OnFife Creative Instigator, and Rachel-Jane Morrison, Engagement Co-ordinator, and held in the theatre’s Beveridge Suite.

In total 66 tickets were sold, raising £660 towards the £1000 top prize, with the remainder coming from the OnFife Relevant Kirkcaldy budget, ensuring that every penny goes back into supporting creative endeavours in Fife.

On the evening a huge range of new creative talent was on display, from jewellery and ethical alternative clothing to yoga, life casting and performance space.

Nine of the top creatives made a presentation on their ideas to a panel of judges who then questioned them – like on Dragons’ Den – before deciding who should benefit from the prize.

The overall winner was Abi Cooper, of Kirkcaldy, with her proposal for an Art Vending Machine – a project to make affordable art accessible to everyone through a vending style machine selling a selection of work from local artists.

Members of the audience also had the opportunity to vote for their favourite, which also won a £300 prize as well as mentoring support.
This prize went to Lewis Harrower, of Dunfermline, with his Life in Fife audio archive and podcast project

Actual soup was also on the menu, with attendees receiving a bowl of soup included in the ticket price.

Creative Soup was born from the Create in Kirkcaldy group, dedicated to supporting the creative industry in the Kirkcaldy and wider Fife area.
It provided an opportunity to local creatives, giving them access to funding using a crowdfunding approach, based on successful projects running in Dundee and Detroit in the USA.

Kate said: “When I first dreamed up Creative Soup, I wanted to build something that celebrated Fife’s talent and brought our creative community together. That dream became reality and I am still buzzing.
“Coming home to Fife and watching the creative community grow stronger together, it’s a reminder of exactly why I do this.”
