February 2026 Newsletter

What's New from Elizabeth!

Where did 2025 go?  Between going back to work full-time in the office (I live 1.5 hours from my office, 3 hour round trip), mother’s in and out of  the hospital and having procedures done, getting COVID AGAIN, job furloughs and more, it was a crazy 2025, again!  I got off schedule with my classes and I am now ready to get back to it. Let’s make 2026 the year we get back on track and get our projects done!

While I have been staying at my moms this week and helping her, I have been able to work on my new class schedule, it is listed below.  Be sure to sign up for any classes that you may want to join.

Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey through Google Forms, this will let me know what products and services you are still interested in.  Also, if everyone will take a few minutes to fill this form out, this will help me keep my records updated.  If you no longer wish to receive emails from me, you are given the opportunity to OPT OUT of all communications.

New Class Schedule*

*During the registration process for all of the following classes/events/appointments, you will have to register for each class that you wish to attend.  All classes have been scheduled out through the end of the year.  Once you register for one, you will be given the option to register for another booking.  Be sure to register for all classes through the end of the year, even if you can’t attend. These classes will be recorded and I will be sending the recording to all registered attendees. Once you get registered, you will receive a 24 hour and 1 hour notice prior to class time.

FOREVER Artisan -  If you have the Artisan software from FOREVER, this class is for you! This class is a good time to ask questions about how to preform functions within Artisan.  During this class, I will also be showing you how to create beautiful projects using the software  from lessons created by the pixels2Pages team.  This class will be the second Thursday of each month from 7 - 8:00 pm.  Registration is required and you will get reminder emails.  You can register using this link.

FOREVER Historian -  If you have FOREVER Historian, this is a class that you might be interested in.  During this class, mainly a Q&A and work session, you will be able to ask how to do tasks within the software.  There is not much training on this software so it will be learn on the fly for everyone.  If there is no Q&A needed, it can then transition into a work session where everyone can work on organizing, tagging, updating descriptions and more in your software, because honestly, that is when you find your questions.  This class will be the third Thursday of each month from 7 -8 pm CT.  Registration is required and you will get reminders.  You can register using this link.

FOREVER Storage - During this class, I will be showing you how to use your FOREVER Online Storage account to its fullest.  You can have the free storage account or a paid account to participate in this class.  I will be showing you how to organize, share, use facial recognition, video streaming.  This class will be the fourth Thursday of the month from 7 - 8 pm CT.  Registration is required and you will get reminders prior to each class.  You can register using this link.

Virtual Workshop - This time will be a dedicated time to work on your personal projects, whether it is in your FOREVER Storage, Artisan, Create and Print, Historian, traditional projects, genealogy projects, etc.  During this time we will be connecting virtually via Zoom and able to talk to one another or ask questions, just a time to get together with friends that have the same hobbies that can’t get together in person.  This workshop will take place on the second Saturday of each month from 2 - 4 pm CT with the option to go longer if we find the need. And hopefully, one day, some of us can get together in person!  Registration for this event is not required but helpful to know how many are interested in coming. You can register for this event using this link.

Other options:

FOREVER Office Hours and Q&A - This is a 30 min time every other Monday starting March 2 from 7:00 - 7:30 pm CT for getting answers to your basic questions.  There is no registration required for this event.  Access this event by clicking this link.

In-Person Consult - This is for local meetings (within an 1.5 hour drive) - Meet in-person to discuss your photo organization needs and create a plan within your budget.  Registration is required.  You can register by using this link.

Virtual Consult - This is for those that are outside the 1.5 hour driving time that would like to meet via Zoom to discuss your photo organizing needs and create a plan within your budget.  Registration is required.  You can register by using this link.

NOTE:  This schedule is in effect starting March 1, 2026.  Dates may change depending on Holiday Schedule and if I am late getting in from work.  Travel from Huntsville to Tuscumbia can be a nightmare sometimes.  If I am late, I will send out a cancellation notice as soon as I possibly can.  I am hoping for not to many of those days.
