<< My job is finding all of those "stray pictures" and pictures still in the envelopes and putting them all in our photo albums! >> Christy - Of course the best way to handle this is to put them in albums right away - DUH - but I never seem to get that done immediately. My solution is to keep a plastic box in a cabinet and as I bring home developed pictures I put the envelope in behind the last one. I try to date the top and make a note of what's in there - Christmas, vacation, whatever. That way when I'm ready to put them in the album they're all together and in order. It doesn't take too long to get them in the albums if they're in order. Last time I put mine in albums (umm, that was about 18 months ago...) I had 2 boxes full - about 4 or 5 years worth of pictures. It took me two afternoons to get them in the albums, which I did while I was on the bed one weekend with an injury. Of course this won't help when they're all scattered around - just a suggestion to keep up with them in the future. Perhaps while you're gathering them you could get a plastic box to file them in order before putting them in albums. (a cardboard shoe box would also work for now.) Somehow getting them "contained" makes it easier to deal with and if you have to stop you know just where you left off. Good luck. Thanks for reminding me that I have to put that on my to-do list again.
