Welcome to the latest edition of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival! Reading this month’s submissions gave me a strong urge to pull out my own treasure box and enjoy a stroll down memory lane, and I just can’t seem to get Jim Croce’s Photographs and Memories out of my head.

I’m happy to announce that Deb Lee has become our newest Professional Organizers Blog Carnival Star Blogger with her post Multimedia Mayhem: Get Control of Your Music, Videos, and Photos. Congratulations, Deb!

Please take a moment to read Deb’s post, as well as the other great submissions we received this month, which are listed below. You’re sure to find some inspiration for helping your clients organize their precious keepsakes, and maybe even your own!

In the meantime, please answer this question: When it comes to your own personal mementos, is it difficult for you to follow the advice that you give to your clients?
