finally doing something with those 20 billion pics…

finally doing something with those 20 billion pics…

I have like 27,000 pictures on my hard drive.  Ay ay ay.  In 2009, I decided I would go back to do a photo book for each year beginning in 2007.  Over the course of a month I spent hours on a book which after a few mistakes I accidentally deleted.  I was a mess with anger.  Completely deflated.

Now, I’m sitting under the blanket of guilt I feel over having done a complete scrapbook for Ransom & barely a memory book for Rhys.  In addition to that, I want a beautiful photo book that displays the beautiful 10 yr. wedding anniversary trip Dave & I took last May. I absolutely adore the photo book I made of our summer in Vancouver.

Here’s the truth: I love scissors, tape & glue as much as the next scrapbooker, but I am seriously short on time to be doin’ all that. I’m all about the digital now and I have too many awesome pics to let waste away in the ruins of iphoto.
