Lulu's Lines... memories are.......

Memories are................... wonderful to preserve but today is for living. I guess that's why i now spend more time putting my newest photos in web albums and less time on my Creative Memories scrapbooking projects. There are currently five CM photo albums in various stages of creation at our house...

• a 'current year' - that year being 2002...
• a 'heritage' album - old photos i was able to scrounge and/or scan for copies from my mother...
• a 'baby album' begun when AmyLou Mae was born three years ago (kitten pictures)...
• a 'backward' album begun with photos taken prior to the date i began my first CM album, currently back as far as Windy's wedding in June 1995...
• and a Christmas album with snippets from each Christmas since Patti taught me all about Creative Memories.

Since our first experiences with the digital camera i've spent way too much time organizing photos and getting them up to DotPhoto where i can have them printed. Unfortunately for Creative Memories, there are so many of them the thought of putting all those photos in scrapbooks frazzles me! Fortunately it keeps the husband 'off the streets' because he's busy putting photos on CD's and DVD's..... and now i'm putting a precious few into web galleries..... so i guess i could say 'Memories are for making; we'll save them for somebody else to sort out.'
