Throughout the year you have a lot of things that you do with your friends that you would probably like to remember.  For example…. School, Summer Camp, Sports, Work, etc.  With each of these things you make new friends and build new memories.  That is a wonderful thing….. but wouldn’t you like to remember each of these things?  Well, today I’m going to show you how to do just that….. I’m going to show you how to Make a Bookmark of Memories.  So, grab your friends and let’s get started.
