Over the weekend, I had to spend most of my time lying horizontal. Long story short, I think I developed a minor spinal fluid leak as a result of a nasty fall on my tailbone a couple of weeks ago and had to lay low in hopes of it healing. It worked by the way.
I wanted to do some digital scrapbooking and all I needed was my computer. No need to get up and down to get forgotten supplies or pictures. Before starting though, I decided to do a little cleaning and organizing of the photos that I have on my computer. I take lots of pictures and it really needs alot of organizing. I am the world's worst at keeping things organized and I don't mean just my photos!! Always have been and probably always will.
Even though scrapbooking is my most favorite hobby, I have really gotten behind. You can read about that post
here. I decided to start with 2009 for the digital scrapbooking only because that was the year my youngest grandchild was born. I've already got my traditional scrapbooking going for 2003 (about two thirds done) but it's upstairs in my sewing/craft room. There's no rhyme or reason as to why I do something. That's probably why I'm unorganized. Ahem...anyway.
As a side note, I keep my photos and digital scrapbooking supplies in an external hard drive. One: because they take up alot of memory on your computer. Two: In case my computer crashes, I don't lose my photos.
Once I did a little of that, I was ready and opened the My Memories Suite program, bought several on-sale kits from a few of my favorite digital scrapbooking sites...
KB and Friends; and
Just So Scrappy Too (they don't know me from Adam or Eve for that matter) and even some FREE ones. I love the type of graphics they offer and they are so inexpensive. Well worth the investment.
It took me a bit to get my mojo going, but once I got started it was so easy. Now only about 96,472 more photos to go...more or less. I lost count. No, I didn't really count but it might as well be that many. So I tackle it a few pages at a time and hope I get them done before the Lord calls me home!
Have a beautiful Autumn day today ~
