Seize The Day
October 10th, 2007September was full of travel. For two days we were in Washington D.C., then Hershey Pennsylvania, Gettysburg, Antietam, Harpers Ferry and places in-between. I had some down days so I would sew and sew. Then I got the bright idea to send my photos of our trip to Costco pick them up and put them in a photo book since I had a ‘down’ day.
It was so much fun to come home with a full photo book. Now all I have to do is journal, which I do by typing up the captions and slipping them into the book. I wondered if this was being too organized, to have my trip photos all together even before I got home. HUM…I decided it is O.K. I shared this with a friend and she said she has several trip pictures that she has not taken out of the photo shop covers.
As I organizer homes and offices I encourage people to do what makes them the happiest when it comes to organizing their photos. If they love to scrapbook, and have the time and money, then by all means do it. The majority of those I work with are happy with the idea of slipping photos into a book, writing what and who the pictures are about, embellishing with stickers, play bills, ticket stubs etc. and being done and able to enjoy looking at the memories and not worrying about when they will find time to get to yet another project.
