Don't know if I can keep this up or not (kind of like the "The Great Catch Up"), but I'm on a quest to start printing out my pictures one month at a time (two months worth of pictures at a time--does that make sense?) and putting them into old school photo albums. With the exception of special occasion digital photobooks as gifts, I have made peace with the reality that there is no way in the world I will ever scrapbook all my pictures. (Sounds awful, actually. Detail oriented projects kill me!) Printing and stuffing them into photo albums combined with whatever I record on my blog journalistically is ENOUGH!
But I have way too many pictures (WAY), so I want to start weeding out just the highlights. Here's my first attempt starting with January of last year. Not all the pictures I chose are the greatest photographically speaking, but some of them just capture the every day in a way I want to remember. (Like the playing school pic.)

Had to comment on the photo thing. That's exactly what I did the first week of January. I backtracked to 2011 and printed out pics from each month for EACH kid in an old fashioned album. I have now committed to print them out every two months. Call me old fashioned too, but I just can't bear the thought of handing my kids a flash drive when they're 18.
ReplyDeletePS-Love the new blog design. I've been wanting a new one for a while now, but have no idea how or where to start.
