I have way too many pictures. Since picture taking is so easier these days than when I was a kid, my collection is only growing. I've tried several times to get them sorted online but I never really get them exactly how I want them. Too many to deal with. But I'm not giving up. I actually love this kind of problem.
Today I took my photo boxes out of the closet and looked them over to see if I needed to do any more sorting. I've already got them pretty well sorted by subject and people but I know I could probably toss a heck of a lot of them but any time I try, I start to get a stomach ache. haha I've got one black box with oversized pictures in it and I need to write on the backs of them to identify (as best I can) when and where they were taken, I've also got this one album that I kick myself every time I open it and realize the BAD way I put photos in the book. I thought I was so clever at the time as I took a yellow sheet of paper (had a ton of it from the mill) and I pasted pictures on both sides of the paper and inserted in a plastic sleeve. I've tried to remove the photos from the yellow paper but I'm not having much success. I'm going to have to read up on the best way to remove them. I don't really want to spend all my time over a kettle of hot water and steam them. I may have to scan them onto my hard drive and just keep them that way. That idea doesn't excite me too much as it's a big ole fat album. We'll see.
Well, I just googled this subject and discovered that I can use dental floss to remove those pasted pictures from the album. It's a slow process but it is working and for that I am glad. Will try to do a few every day so I don't get bored.
