This week we are working on organizing our photographs. 

 

I say "working on" because this is definitely a work in progress for me. I have so many old pictures waiting to be processed and put into albums. It is always on my "to-do" list but always something that can wait for later. It can get pretty overwhelming pretty fast. Would you agree? And now with everything being digital, I have SO many pictures stored on my computer hard drive and also in places like Snapfish! Luckily, Jennifer has many great tips and ideas for starting to get my pictures more organized.

This Week's Goals:

1. Go through your pictures. Put into piles: 1. throw away 2. give doubles to family or friends 3. keep

2. put dates and events on the back of your pictures. As you develop new pictures, get into the habit of doing this right away to save time later.

3. Start putting your photographs into your albums (slip-in type will save time), scrapbooks, photo boxes, etc.  

Tips:

1. For digital pictures: save them in folders labeled by event on your computer. Put a backup copy on a CD.

2. Digital scrapbooks are great! Jennifer said that it costs about the same to use these rather then develop your pictures and put them into a photo album. She suggests www.mixbook.com

How do you keep your photographs organized??
