Time to Sort Through Those Pictures!

Do you have boxes full of pictures that you wish you could find the time to put into a scrapbook?  Does the task seem so daunting that you never want to get started? 

If you take baby steps to get things in order you can make scrapbooking your memories not only possible, but enjoyable as well.

One of the first things you can do is to go through each stack or box of pictures and throw away all of the blurry, out of focus shots.  Have an ugly picture or two that you would never put in a photo album or scrapbook?  Toss it.  Why hold on to it?  This should eliminate a small, but recognizable, portion of the pictures you have to deal with.

The next step is to gather all of the pictures from other people's parties and events that you know you will never devote a lot of time to scrapbooking.  Save a few of the nicer shots and give the remainder of the photos to the family whose event this was.  This way you know the pictures will be appreciated, you still have a couple to remember the occasion, and you can spend time on the pictures that matter. 

More tips next time.....
