Since Dad got sick, Mom’s been going through a downsizing mode. She is seriously getting rid of just about everything.
She asked me if I could do something with the family pictures because she had never had time to put them into albums. “Sure” I said. It sounded like a good idea. I’ll just scan them in and upload them to the family website.
Box after box after box has been ariving in the mail.
It’s great fun to sit there and go through photo after photo. but somehow, when I add the additional step of placing the photo onto the scanner, it turns into a chore.
I know it’s such a cool thing to have all these photos – many families dont have this many. And really, on the surface it sounds like such a cool project – and I’m looking forward to having the photos scanned in. It’s the actual scanning them in part that’s got me bogged down.
Maybe I need to move the computer and scanner into the living room so I can watch mythbusters while I’m scanning them in. a pouty me with mom
I mentioned in an earlier post that I had come up with (what I think is) a brilliant idea for Bebe’s birthday – a book celebrating Bebe and the number four.
So I’ve been calling around to get people to submit photos for this project. My dad apparently had a great deal of fun coming up with somthing to submit for the book – he submitted the following:
For this picture, the caption will say: “Grandpa has four hands.”
His next submission for the project was this:
I still haven’t figured out what the caption will be…
Bebe turns four next month and I just came up with a brilliant idea for her birthday present – but I’ve got to get going on it right away or I’ll never get it done in time.
Through Qoop.com (anyone used them? comments?) i can create a bound picture book – so I thought I would make a book for her dedicated to the things she loves and the number 4. Show a picture of her Dad’s Jeep with the text “Daddy’s JEEP has four wheels” and show a picture of Grandma Candy with four of her glass birds, and Uncle Timmy with four of his guitars, four ponies, four doggies, four flowers etc, etc – maybe six words max on each page…
I’m really kind of excited about doing this. Now I’m off to hunt down pictures…
