Ten thousand may be an exaggeration but at least it gives you an idea of the scoope of work that Carolyn has undertaken. It is currently her MAJOR project. As you know she always has several projects going at any one time.
Throughout the years when our kids were growing up we would take pictures, look at them with oohs and ahs, and then file them away. My idea of filing was to stick them onto a shelf in the family room. Fortunately, Carolyn had a better way - manila envelopes. This kept the pictures in rough categories but made it a little difficult to see them.
For this project, Carolyn is making photo albums of 3-ring binders for each of the kids, our vacations, organizations she's been involved with such as AEYC (state, regional, and local). She's also making her own album pages using cardstock and plastic sleeves. There's nothing fancy. She just wants them sorted and available for viewing.
It is indeed a daunting project when she looks to see how many more manila envelopes she has to organize. On the other hand, it is very satisfying to see the completed albums and visualize the prospect of sending them home with the kids after Thanksgiving.

Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteGreat project to be doing. It's an easy one to get behind in but your family will be grateful for your efforts.
I love the manila folder idea. We are looking at a gizmo at Costco that scans slides & negatives to an SD disk, without using a computer. And we still have the e-mail you sent about the scanner you used to scan all your negs/slides. One of these days I'll get to it! 8^)
