Memories Captured – We Are A Series!

Last month, Galit of These Little Waves and I decided to host a fun linky, Memories Captured, where we asked you to share a special memory with us, captured via a picture and words of your choice.

The response was breathtaking.

130 of you shared your Memories Captured with us. You brought tears to our eyes, smiles to our faces, laughs to our bellies, and swoon to our online lives.

We’re over the moon to announce that we’re turning Memories Captured into a monthly meme! We’re partnering with amazing brands each month and can’t wait to share them with you!

The January linky will be open January 16th through January 20th.

To give you some idea of how this works, here’s one of my favorite pictures of my sister and I.

This month, we’re thrilled to partner with Picnik, the online photo editing software that we use for Memories Captured!

Picnik will generously give TWO linkers a six month subscription to their premium services! The winners will be randomly picked and announced Friday evening.

So you capture, we swoon, and Picnik (hopefully!) provides you with even more ways to capture those memories!

For more information and to pore over previous entries, please visit my Memories Captured page.

Now, it’s your turn! Grab the button in my sidebar, a photo, and your words, and come back on Monday the 16th to link up! We can’t wait to see what you capture!
