· spring cleaning most of my house
February 2010
· organize photos
· organize all of my electronic/ digital photo files into folders and erased any duplicates
· learn the ins and outs of my camera
· Put all my photos in organized stacks according to event or like themes.
· Scrap as many pages as I can.
· My plan of attack is: if the photo is digital I will make a file folder and print the ones I want to scrap. The “hard” print photos, my plan is to scan them and add additional folders. Once a Scrapbook is completed, I will copy all of the files with the coordinating photos. This CD will be the Master Photo file for that particular photo book, which will be scrapped into the last page of the album. Last, as I upload the photos to a CD or thumb drive I will delete the old computer files, clearing up space on my computer
