I've been preparing for Chad's graduation. I finally got his senior pictures ordered and I'm now working on the previous 18 years. We've been digital since 2000, so I only have the first 9 years of his life to digitize - which amounts to about 100 rolls of 35mm film (at least I have all my negatives organized - "Thank you Creative Memories!"). Each 24 exposure takes me about an hour to scan and get saved to my harddisk. So, that is looooots of hours of scanning - and I'm only about a third done at this point. Then I still have to organize and get them scrapped! Thank goodness for digital scrapbooking. It will make this process a lot faster. Again "Thank you Creative Memories!"!! I use their Memory Manager to organize and Storybook Creator Plus to scrap them. The photo on this post was made with SBC+ ... don't ya love it? I may tweak it yet before the final version to print, but I think my first stab at it is pretty awesome.
I also made out our 'have to do before graduation day' list. HA! We should've started on it years ago! Oh yeah ... we did! We just don't have anything FINISHED on the list! Follow-thru to completion is not a strong suit in this house.
I'm going to try to get the living room painted today. It's still too cold out to do much outside - namely work on finishing painting the house. Maybe Terry will work on the family room floor and/or stairs. That we started last labor day. We were on a roll and got the floor itsself done, but then we needed to wait for the trim to come in, which was about a month later, and we lost our momentum on that. Ahhh ... the joys of home ownership ... always something to do.
Well ... I'm going to finish up a roll of scanning and then paint the living room. I'll take some before and after pics. Let me know what ya think!
