I am so excited to report I finished developing, sorting and filing a block of photos.
YAY me.
I'll be excited for everyone reading out there because my excitement is ridiculous over this task completed. I am so happy to be that much closer to catching up to the digital photo mess I got myself into.
If you have read a previous post on this daunting task, you know why it is so important to me to get this job done for my kids. I have one or two baby pictures of myself and very few growing up. My Mom loved to take pictures she just did not develop them. There are bags of film stored at my parent's house. My Mom passed away in 2002 and now photos are my only link to refresh my memory of her and the past and show my kids who she was.
So this task was a MUST for me to do and with four kids it was hard to sit down and get it done. I used my timer in 15 minutes chunks and now I have only one year left to sort and file.
The bin on the right was full of photos right back to the twins birth in 2006. The big pile of pictures you see in the bin on the left are photos dated, sorted and ready to file in the "family" box.
I use these photo boxes to file the photos first. I do not want every single photo in an album and this is a great way to scrapbook too. Grab the ones you want, file the rest in a photo album and whatever is left over goes back in the box.
The boxes are sorted by year from January to December.
{Rereading this it does sound a little over the top organization. I guess I need that "order" or I get all mixed up.}
This will not be a big job if I keep up with it and that is what I plan to do. I can even see scrapbooking happening that much easier and faster.
What are you tackling today?

That is soooo awesome Bonnie! I'd being doing a little happy dance!!! Way to go! Might have to get my butt in gear and get to work on my photos one of these days!
That's AMAZING, Bonnie!!! Great job!!! Bring on the scrapbooking!!!!
That is very impressive. Digital photography has been a nightmare for me. I have printed a photo in years. They are copied on to disks and never edited. I'd like to go back to the easier days when I developed film and put everything in an album. We could actually look at them then. My (lack of) scrapbooking is a depression zone!! Too much pressure! LOL
You are so organized that once you have all the kids in school you'll be able to scrapbook it all in a flash. Nicely done.
Awesome!!!! Way to go, Bonnie!!!! :)
what a great job well done
Wow, now that is awesome! I actually have thousands and thousands of digital pictures on flash drives from the past 5 or 6 years. I only print off the ones that I put in frames (which I change out quite often)
