In my imagination, there are no more papers in my house. Everything is digital, or printed in bound books. The former (digital): all bills, taxes, and any paperwork we want to save for any reason. The latter (bound books): pictures, scrapbooking, and - of course! - novels. Oh, and reference books for Doug. Can't forget that.
How am I going to do this, you ask? Using a scanner and a CD-burner. So I asked for a scanner for Christmas. After we returned from California, I finally took it out of its box. And...started scanning!
Where to start, where to start? Pictures, of course.
Many moons ago, I started scrapbooking. At the time, my mother's photos were all in a big box, completely unorganized and just stashed in every which way. She told me to take whatever I wanted, since she would never get around to doing anything with those pictures, anyway. Which was true, actually - although my oldest sister did organize what was left of them into four large photo albums many years later.
I took her at her word, and now have many photos. Some of which probably should be shared with my brothers and sisters. So this is where I started. This will probably be a years-long project, but why shouldn't I share what I've already done?
Ah, old pictures. They really bring you back. Anywho, I'm hoping to make all the old pictures that include other siblings into CDs that I can pass along. We should all get to share these memories, right?
You are so dang cute! And yes, please share whatever you have!! Kathy used glue sticks on those albums, on regular card stock, so the pictures she put in there are going to degrade and disintigrate at some point. We should probably scan all of those in before that happens. Not sugggesting that you have to, just thinking aloud.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I want to do that as well...but let's see how well I do with what's in-house!
