Digitize Them

A friend sent me a link to an article in the NY Times about a company that will digitize pictures for a reasonable price. Here's the link.
ScanMyPhotos.com is the company in the article, and I like what I see. I am sure that I have over 1,000 photos, so I'll probably go for the "fill the box" option. I was so worried about what to do with the pictures, but this is a reasonable option.

The Box is Gone

That box full of albums (above) is no more. I have taken out every photo and piece of memorabilia from the albums and put them into CM power sort boxes.
What a lovely trip down memory lane. Most of the pictures are undated and unmarked, but every so often, I'd find one that had writing on the back, a description or identification. It was so much fun.
I ruined two pictues, which I think was pretty good. Many of the photos were stuck to those old magnetic sticky pages, and it took some work to get them off.
Now I have to sort through them and figure that part out.

Got Started

Yep, I got started in the scrapbook room again. I spent an entire afternoon there trying to make sense of the mess. For a few months now, I've just piled bags and boxes on top of the table while I've been working on other projects (mainly sewing).

I've gone through about 1/2 of the photos in those old albums in the header picture. So far, all I've done is get them out of the albums and into a CM sort box. There is absolutely no order to it at all, but at least the albums are going into the garbage. I'll finish that project tomorrow or Monday and then start thinking about step 2, which will be to organize the pictures somehow.
