Getting ready for the big day .......

..... No not a wedding or anything that big!!

As I anxiously await the arrival of my 1,014 Alaska Photos I have been trying to get things ready so when they do arrive I can begin Scrapbooking our trip. Last night I sat down with my bag full of treasures I picked up on our trip. You know the brochures you get in every port .... all the brochures they give you on the ship and train ..... and of course any other collectable/scrapbookable item I could find I put in a bag to bring home and I organized them. I just happened to have a plastic folder of sorts that I had picked up somewhere and probably used as a papersorter at one time for my scrapbooking paper and it happens to have 13 pockets. I went through all my treasures and put them in a pocket according to the day on our trip. We just happen to be gone for 13 days so it worked out well. So bascially anything I picked up in each port such as Skagway it is in day/pocket 5 so wh
en I do my Skagway pictures I have all my Skagway treasures sorted and ready to go. Hoping this will spead up the process ..... only my fellow scrapbookers have any idea how helpful this will be!!! and have any idea how long it will take to put a 2 week trip together using a lot of photos.


Next item on the agenda ........ get some journaling boxes complete and ready with some of the local history for each port and other special facts I want include in my album!!!

That kind of organization makes me sick...ok it makes me jealous. Have not scrapped a page in four years. Aaaagh, the thought of trying to catch up is what really makes me sick!

Good luck on the album! That is a lot of pics! But so worth doing as you already know!
