Just wanted to share an update on my years long photo album project.
Yesterday my son brought my granddaughters over and we were able to look at a few of the albums. I was able to show the girls various years in their lives because we were in the albums already, although I do want to change all of the albums to non-magnetic, as I have learned that they will destroy the backs of the pictures over time.
Ivam switching to an album that holds 12 x 12 plastic sheets in a 3 ring binder. Then, I put the photos onto cardstock using paper corners. Then, I slip the 12 x 12 cardstock into the 12 x 12 plastic sheets. It's great because I can make notes on the cardstock, and I can also switch in new pages when I find another box of pictures somewhere (a surprisingly common occurrence. ) I was able to add pictures from my parents' house that I had sent them thirty years ago into my new albums.
My son was actually impressed for the first time. He actually wants to scan every album page, as he has definitely inherited the "archiving gene." He gets it!!!
And my 4 year old granddaughter was able to select a photo of herself for a silver frame she found--she definitely has the collector gene, and go home with a picture of her sister and herself a a great frame for their room. It was super easy to find the right album and just pull it out for her.
