Looking back....

As part of the ole scanning project (the last part, thankfully!) I have been scanning all my old 12 inch albums that go back to 1992. I have a lot of pictures of our wedding and the two older kids when they were quite young.

The older two kids are not at the "tween" age where they are , let's say, challenging A LOT of the time. I keep thinking two things as I look through all these old albums. First of all, I think "Thank goodness I did this back then because I might not say they were cute then quite as much! I will not likely be redo-ing these pages." My second thought is "Thank goodness I do not have to re-do these pages!"

I have noticed, as I look at these older pages that I made a lot of decisions about these I may not make today. I cropped too many pictures round. I used too many stickers. Some of my vacation albums are a little embarrassing today. But I also see that I did a few very cool things back then. Not every page is a work of art and most are not totally great, but many of them have an element or two that is great that I will likely be copying in digital format even now.

If you have not gone through your older albums lately, DO IT! If nothing else, it will show you how far you may have come. Best case scenario, you may find a thing or two that your want to copy even now!!
