And you may be wondering why on earth they were in boxes to begin with.
Because way back when I was in a mommy's group we had a scrapbook get together (probably 3 1 /2 years ago). Now I had never before done any type of scrapbooking and didn't know much about it, but I really liked the end product. After that party I came home and emptied 5 years worth of photo albums and made sure they were sorted by month and year. Now that was a lot of work and I had a huge project on my hands.
Looking back I probably shouldn't have started with that amount of pictures. I was completely overwhelmed.
Guess how many scrapbook pages I have done since that fateful scrapbook party?
None. Well, one if you include the one I made during the party.
(Here's the top and bottom half that I attempted to scan in.)
I priced the supplies and just couldn't bring myself to make that sort of financial and time commitment.
After this recent Christmas I bought some really nice photo albums from none other than Marshalls. And today I decided to tackle the photo boxes once and for all.
Some are not exactly in sequential order like a family picture of the three boys, then one of me completely pregnant, but for the most part they flow.
And that is good enough for me.

I have been tackling the photo organization since I started my blog a few months ago. I started the scrapbooking about 8 years ago and bought all the stuff. I'd go to parties and get only about 3 pages done. It is a whole new form of stress--knowing that I haven't scrapped all those photos. I need to just put them in some regular albums!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! YOU ARE ME!!! Except I created a grand total of TWO scrapbook pages. And I am so anal retentive that I put all SEVEN of my crammed-full photo boxes into chronological order. Bought my (twelve) photo albums at Big Lots, but have only tackled filling two of them so far. GOOD FOR YOU!!
