Organizing Your Family Photos- Step Three

Well, you've made it. You have gathered, reviewed and purged that stack of photos you have been moving around for the past several years. Now comes the fun part - deciding what to do with them. Here are several suggestions for displaying or keeping your most cherished images. 1) Make an album for each child as a gift for a birthday, grauation or other momentous occasion. Scrapbooking and craft stores have a wonderful selection of albums and embellishments to create a real treasure. 2) Create a family collage of several generations of the family that can be passed down from one generation to the next. Be sure to attach a legend to the back of the frame with names, dates and relationships. Your family will appreciate it. 3)Enlarge your favorite image from a vacation and turn it into a work of art. 4)Do the same with family pictures, that you can use to frame and create wall art. 5)Gather your favorite vacation images and take them to a printer to create a calendar. The list of ideas is limited only by your imagination. If you have any other super ideas, let us know and we will post them on the blog. E-mail your ideas to Barb at sales@ttwss.com. If you do nothing else with the images you have saved, at least they will be in one place and available for easy access the next time you need them. I hope this helped make a seemingly daunting task a little bit easier.
