Finally doing something with my photos

So this is the sort of thing that keeps me lying awake nights. Although I take lots and lots of pictures. And I even manage to get htem out of the camera and into the computer. And they are organized! (Well, most of them!) Some of them have even gotten printed. I have ALL of the scrapbooking stuff in my dining room and several boxes of pictures -- in chronological order. But I don't have a single finished scrapbook.

Alas, I am finally making some headway with Shutterfly. Yes!! I LOVE THEM!! I managed to make my son (he is 6) a baby book this summer. It took me about half an hour and all I really had to do was upload the photos and enter the captions. Shutterfly did the rest! And my son LOVES it! We were reading it every night for awhile. He is so proud! Now my 10 year old daughter who does not have a baby book and is just a little too old for quality digital pics is after me to get hers done the old fashioned way! But I'll get there!

I just posted my Christmas Card for this coming year-- see I'm even AHEAD for a change! And I did made a hardcover book for our 2008 Disney Vacation. They run lots of great specials and I think maybe, just maybe, I'll have my photos in a place where my kids will be able to enjoy them!!

Next up I'm planning on photographing all that cherished artwork and putting it in books. That should help control all of the stacks that are accumulating! WISH ME LUCK!
