SPEED ROUND ~ What the heck is ephemera?

e·phem·er·a
/əˈfem(ə)rə/
noun
  1. things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time.
    • items of collectible memorabilia, typically written or printed ones, that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity.


      While you are organizing your photos is the perfect time to organize memorabilia, journaling notes, and create a holding album.

      Gather your memorabilia together in one spot. Sort by event name, or date, or whatever works for you.  Choose your storage system. You can use file folders, oversized manilla envelopes, 12 x 12” iris boxes or pizza boxes.  If you are making page kits you can include your memorabilia in or with the page kits.
