Old Photos

Looking for something that will please your whole family? Scan the family photos to disc.

This season I chose to start with my two children's childhood. As soon as I scanned the photos, they were put in separate boxes for each daughter. The rule was this - if only one child was in the photo it was given to that child. If both were in the picture, I kept it. If there were doubles, they each got one. Group scenes were divided equally.

One of my daughters is scanning a friend's childhood slides. Great memories. I hope I get a copy of them too. She also did all her paternal grandparents' photos and we got copies.

The next group I'm going to do are my parents' childhoods.

It's nice to know the photos are going to go to good homes and they're stored in several places for posterity.

There's still time left before the holidays - but you can do it at any time. They'll love it.
