I’m currently in the process of putting my pictures in photo albums. I love this part because it makes me relive the experience. Although I was in Greece a month ago, it feels like a lifetime away. Time is beginning to feel that way quite a bit. It’s like once time is gone, that is it. There is no getting it back. My mortality is in the forefront of my mind, and I can’t help but keep pondering that the time of innocence is over.
I actually put the pictures in the albums once. There are three. I got towards the end of the last one, and I realized I still had more pictures to go. For a minute, I thought I had done a miscalculation. I have more pictures than space, so I took some pictures out that would not be included in the album. Other pictures would be “doubled up” in the same spot. I went back and behold I had missed pages in the previous two albums. Note to self; next time around check this before moving on to the next album.
Anyway, I initially just moved some pictures forward, but then the order of the trip starting getting mixed up and it would mess up my commentary. So, last night, I painstakingly removed all the pictures. Tonight or sometime in the near future, I need to put them back in the correct order. Luckily, I can sort them by location. I then have to separate the pictures that didn’t make the album. The final step is my running commentary so I can remember just what exactly everything is!
I know I say this a lot, but if only money wasn’t an issue!

Have you ever considered doing it all on-line? I make our family album each year on blurb, but I know there are lots of other places that make albums. I love blurb because I can put my pictures from my computer into a book, I can have the pictures large or small...at the click of a button, I can have one or dozens of pictures all on one page, I can add a caption anywhere and if blurb doesn't have a template I like, I can alter theirs to be exactly how I want it. If I want to change anything, it's just a click away! I never develop pictures anymore! When I am done designing my book, I just click how many copies I want and they print it in a hard or soft bound coffee table quality book! It saves me a ton of time and money in the long run, especially since I like to have a copy for each kid and sometimes even the grandparents want a copy.
