Organization, Organization, Organization!

Let's get your photos organized, shall we?

• Gather up your photos.
  
  
• Put your photos in a central location. Put them in a photo box or album.
  
  
• Start with your current memories, since they are freshest in your mind, and then work backwards.
  
  
• Or start with your current memories, and keep going as you take more photos.
  
  
• Or start with the past memories, then work forward, enjoying your trip down memory lane. What fun!
  
  
• Begin sorting them by picking out the best ones or the most usable ones. Remember, you can cut out part of the photos and don't be afraid to do it either.
  
  
• There are many ways to sort your photos. Here are just some:
  
  
  • chronological order (time periods)
  • people
  • places
  • events
  • holidays
  • pets
  • family
  • graduation
  • weddings
  • birthdays
  • awards
  • picnics
  • children
  • time eras
  • school functions
  • concerts
  • seasons
  • vacations
  • tourist spots
  • day trips
  • friends
  • babies
  • You name it.
  
  
  
• After you sort them into the different categories, you can store the photos in page protectors until you get around to scrapping them.
  
  
• Once you have your photos organized, then the fun shall begin.
