to keep as a record. The pictures either end up in a
family photo album, hidden away in the photo envelope
they come in or "who knows where". Quite a LONG while
ago, I bought me a nice "Stitch-Crafting Journal" to
keep my pictures in and to record information about
that particular item. Have I started it?? No!
Decided NOW was the time to hunt up as many
pictures as I could, track down photo envelopes, etc.,
and take pictures, if necessary. So for the last while
I've been trying to identify pictures, the year I made
that particular item and if I kept it or gave it to
someone.
Still don't have all the pictures of everything I've
made; bu,t I'm making great progress. Today, I spent
a good portion of the day working on them and
tonight they are now organized into years.
After going through all the pictures today, I have
almost decided to put them in a nice photo album
I have. To the side of the picture space are lines
where I can write a brief explanation and date.
Although I love the journal, after going back and
looking at it again, decided it is just too labor
intensive and I really don't have all the information
it asks for nor the time to spend on it.
Think as I begin new projects, I'll make notes
and then can begin recording in the journal.
But, for now, I believe the photo album is the way
to go as I really want to get this project put to
rest.
That's just a little too organized for me!! Somewhere in my storage is a photo album of my finished projects through the years, but now they are all just in a "my crafts' folder on my computer. Or should be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to do....
ReplyDeleteI really need to get my photos organized. I have boxes and there are a lot I will probably toss. It so needs to be done; I am inspired by your getting your completed.
ReplyDeleteBlessings for the good example today!
Good on you - I wish I had photos of some of the things I've made in the past - keep meaning to start documenting my older things (before blogging) but haven't got here yet!
ReplyDeleteThat will be such a lovely keepsake Nola.
