I keep wanting to finally put the kids photos in albums but am having a hard time figuring out how to do it. I started a scrapbook for Jacob and only go a few pages in before I stopped, so now I just have 2 photo boxes with their pics in them, waiting for somewhere to go. I bought 2 albums thinking I was going to make one for each, but what do I do with the pics of them together and family photos??

What do you do with your printed photos????

I *finally* got most of them printed, but they are sitting in boxes. I too need to get them into albums. I like what my mom did - she basically has them in albums in chronological order for my brother and I. I think I have my own book because I'm older, but when Kyle came along she started putting them together because most were pics with everyone in them.

I just don't print them anymore. Why would I? I share them with people through snapfish and myspace. And if someone comes to my house I have a huge computer moniter so you don't even need your glasses.

I've started a new plan...ok, I've thought about starting it but I really think I'll do it :)

In the beginning of every year, I'm going to print out my fav. images of the last year and fill up one (and ONLY ONE) album. MY mom has like 3-4 albums for every year and it just gets to be too too much.

I LOVE printed images and albums....there's something about touching the real images that you just don't get on the computer...at least for me ;)

We have a houseboat at lake shasta (family boat), so for Christmas every year I make an album on snapfish for my IL's to keep up at the boat. Then everyone can see how things change from year to year and see their fav moms.

I agree and there is something about digging out the albums while someone has one laying across their laps and people looking over your shoulder when you explain what is going on the in pic or someone comments on the goofy clothes, etc :)

I have oodles of pre-digital pics that still need to get into albums and about 8 albums I think?

I have so many kids and between our business and school I don't need pics piling up reminding me that I need to scrapbook. I do have some albums, but I am just not at that place in life anymore.

i have a huge trunk I got at a army surplus store in Hollywood that is now home to my printed photos and albums. It has officially hit its max though. Everything else is on my HD. I wouls love to make photo books though. My last client showed me her photo books she made for the family (she makes them every year) and they are gorgeous. She works on them all year long and has them printed for xmas.

I got a nice album engraved with Ava's name and DOB when she was born. It can hold 300 photos and I haven't filled it up yet. http://www.exposuresonline.com/ExposuresOnline/Shopping/ProductDetail.aspx?CID=Albums+%26+Scrapbooks&SCID=Memo+Albums&CollectionID=L0BUGGY&SiteNum=0&sortBy=Rank%20ASC

I print my favorites ever 6 months or so and have them printed. I plan on doing the same for Ethan and one for both kids.

I have a ton framed that I need to get on the wall... Hopefully this weekend I can get DH to help with that.

Otherwise I have a big box of stuff to scrap book for Logan's book.... I think I need a scrap book party to get off my tush and do it.
