PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES

I always thought you can never have enough pictures, but now I’m beginning to wonder. I recently started to panic when I was looking through some scrapbooks I made as a child. I had cut pictures into funny shapes and glued them on to notebook paper and whatever else I could find. Then it occurred to me, do we have copies of these photos anywhere else?! The answer was NO.

Since then I have been trying to scan everything in my possession, well everything before 2003, after that I think most of the pictures were taken by a camera phone and are on the computer already. I went to my parents’ house and found boxes and boxes and even more boxes of pictures my family stashed away and never did anything with. Now I’m trying to scan, sort, date and scrapbook as many as I can. I’m so overwhelmed by the amount of pictures I can’t stay focused. I jumped into scanning but now I’m wondering would it have been better to first sort and date, don’t answer that question! I’m trying to stay calm and do my best but I just want to get back to creating already!

Have any of you experienced this daunting task and did you survive? Is there a light at the end of this tunnel!!
