She is now almost 10. I have my photos organized on my computer but if it crashed, I'd be screwed. I do have some backed up on CD. I never thought in a million years about CDs becoming obsolete but I guess it's entirely possible.

One doesn't need 50 pictures to remember a great trip to the zoo, a couple really good ones will do (and they become much more valuable when they don't drown in the multitude).<br />Just my two cents. Good luck with the giant tubs.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617133305191792462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-31887788438152384722010-02-22T22:04:27.864-05:002010-02-22T22:04:27.864-05:00Thanks for reminding me to back up my pictures!

They are all saved on our computer and backed up on an external hard drive and also by some other gismo. I love looking through photo albums and do miss having printed pictures. You are smart to stay on top of the pictures that you take now by organizing them into albums. <br /><br />My mother has an absolute mess of pictures - drawers full of them all mixed up together. I guess I'll end up doing something with those one of these days. It sounds similar to what your mom has waiting for you.<br /><br />I inherited all of Granny's slides. I started scanning them last winter and got maybe 10% of them done. I should have worked on that during my 12 day break from school.Paula@SweetPeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159609759110718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-27614099129950050062010-02-22T17:45:56.716-05:002010-02-22T17:45:56.716-05:00Great tips!

But at least I try! :) I am starting a photo wall in our stairwell and trying to print out as many photos as I can. I'm also starting a "lifetime" scrapbook for each kid where I'll just put the most special photos of them from birth through high-school graduation -- they can have it when they get their own 1st place. <br />Thanks for the photo inspiration! :)<br />Blessings,<br />StaceyStacey @ The Blessed Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033930461129202765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-23283156872865601082010-02-22T17:12:23.504-05:002010-02-22T17:12:23.504-05:00Great tips Amanda!!!

The last time I put photos into an album, my middle son was two years old. He's now 16. <br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />One of these days, perhaps I'll take some inspiration from you and organize at least SOME of these.
