mo2 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Like, actual, real, paper photographs. So no disks, flash drives, etc. I have way too many photo albums and am looking for another solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I decorated boxes the size of large shoe boxes with pretty contact paper (the boxes were free, as my husband owns shipping stores), and then sorted the pictures by year and put them neatly in boxes. This took a LONG time (I have been married for 27 years). The first years I combined a few years together, but with each child there were more and more. . .

You can buy photo storage boxes, but shoe boxes work beautifully. They are easier to stack on a shelf, and hold far more prints than an album. My mom has a couple of lovely boxes that she keeps on coffee tables and such, and occasionally, when she has a number of people over, we open one up and pass the photos around the room. Great stories always come out of those occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always worried that the photos would stick together. Do they not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
