Welcome!

If your family is anything like mine, you have shoeboxes full of old pictures and videos. If you're lucky some of them might be labeled! The digital age, unfortunately, has not helped matters at my house. Instead of the shoeboxes, I found myself with a hard drive full of photo and video files.

Shortly after my son was born (almost 3 years ago) I decided that I wanted to get a bit more organized when it came to my family's memories. Being more than 4 hours from the grandparents was also a big motivator! My husband and I were always hit with requests for new or "recent" pictures of our son. I started making slideshows and videos of my son and sent them to relatives for special occasions. It made the grandmas VERY happy!

I really enjoy making the videos and decided to share my hobby with those of you who, despite the best of intentions, have at least a few of those shoeboxes laying around the house! I offer high quality personalized DVDs at affordable prices. The photo slideshows I create are accompanied by music appropriate to the photos. I can choose music for you or you can provide a cd with songs of your choice. These DVDs make wonderful gifts for family members, especially those who live far away!

Your DVD can consist of any combination of photo slideshows and video clips. Each DVD includes a personalized menu page as well as a case with personalized cover.

For a list of features and prices please visit my shop at memorylanegifts.etsy.com. If you have any questions about a project you have in mind, please email me at memorylanegifts@gmail.com. I look forward to helping you get those memories out of your shoeboxes and back into your life!

Here's an example of a Valentine's Day themed slideshow. These make a perfect gift for grandparents!




Here's an example of a Christmas slideshow. I can also do Hanukkah themed slideshows.



This is a sample of what a Birth Announcement slideshow would look like. You can include both photos and short (a few seconds long) video clips as shown here.







Here's a Halloween slideshow that contains some animated clipart



This slideshow was done by scanning old photos. I used an effect to give the slideshow the appearance of an old filmstrip.




This is an example of a wedding themed slideshow
