A month ago I announced on this blog that I was going to devote two hours a month to organizing my photos. As of 11:30 p.m. September 30th, I kept my promise! Nothing like waiting to the last minute. ; )
Granted, I hardly made a dent in what needs to be done, but it was a start. It will be a long time before I start getting the pictures in albums. You would not believe the mess I have. Nothing is in any semblance of order. The box I went through tonight had mostly pictures from Ryne's first year, and I spent all my time trying to group the pictures by event and put them in chronological order. I'm surprised at how much I've already forgotten! All the more reason to keep my promise for the upcoming months -- my memory is not going to get better.
Since I'm going to be updating my progress every month, I thought I'd liven up the post a bit by posting a few favorite pictures I came across tonight. And since I'm totally loving this season, I narrowed it down to some of my favorite old fall photos.
Something really annoying about that year was that the auto-date-thingy got messed up and I kept forgetting to turn it off. So for the entire year of 2000 (I think) the photos had some random date on them.
Speaking of random, it's clearly time for me to go to bed. ; ) If my challenge inspired you to do any organizing of your own in September, leave a comment and tell me what treasures you found. Or maybe you can share them in a post too!
Happy Organizing!
The baby backpack... brilliant!! You *must* dig that out of your attic every fall for your pumpkin patch expeditions-- that really is a fantastic idea!!
ReplyDeleteAs for digging through old photos-- I was doing that very thing the other night and was amazed at the memories it brought to mind. Heart-warming and a bit nostalgic... but wonderful nonetheless! I can't promise any great organizational efforts on this end, but perhaps I'll dig out a few fall favorites to share-- that might be sorta fun! Thanks for the inspiration, and have a great weekend!!
Those are such sweet pix of the kids, and I love the one of you and them together. The pumpkin carrier is hysterical! I'm not sure when I'll ever have time to blog again (it's taking me about a month to get one post together, working on it in bits and pieces), but I did organize some old pictures this week to share with my English students. I'm so glad we have cameras and can capture so much of our lives. I love walking down memory lane! Thanks for sharing your sweet memories!! :)
