I’m sure all scrapbookers feel this at one time or another – There are so many pictures you’ll never catch up. When my grandmother died we uncovered boxes of prints, manilla envelopes with no date stuffed full, and even random photos stuck between unfinished scrapbook pages. I sorted through the pictures that were of me and my family and took them home with me to organize. I guessed my age, since the photos weren’t dated, and did my best to put them in chronological order. They may never see a scrapbook page, but seeing them sorted into boxes was comforting.

But these photos are all prints… And so I’ve started the [large] project of scanning these photos. This has been something I’ve worried about for years; losing hard copies of old pictures. Like my parents wedding photos, my brothers baby pictures, and Sturgis ’93.

Both Cheeto and I were very excited when the scanner arrived

So we set up a little station in the craft room

And started with the first print I saw

I won’t even count how many more there are to go….
