Except the pictures. I never did get around to putting them on the wall. So most of them were in a corner of our living room until yesterday, when a cleaning frenzy hit me 1 1/2 hours before company were due for dinner. It was rather stupid, but I ended up sifting through them all.
I have 8 x10 family photos of us for just ages. Some of them are downright embarrassing. And most of the little photos in the frames on our tables are old, too. Those ones are downright cute, and I still love them. But I don't have a lot of pictures of my girls from the last 4 years out around my house. I would like to.
So here's my question: what do you do with the old photos? Do you keep them, and just keep adding more? Or do you eventually weed them out? And if you stop displaying some 8 x 10s, what in the world do you do with them? Throw them out? Keep them? I do have wallets of everything.
Along the same vein, here are some great pictures I took with my new camera on Friday. I already have these up and framed and on my wall. Here's a sampling, from a day at my brother-in-law's pool:
I have a really hard time letting go of pictures... really hard. I'm getting better, scanning in some of the hard copies that have actual people in them (Why, when I went on trips, did I take a million pictures of a tree or a deer and then feel the need to move them to another state and back!?). Anyway... the 8x10s... you could scan them and save them into your computer or onto a disk, or you could just keep them behind the new pictures in the frame... works really well!
I totally would have done what you did, going through something that I've been putting off forever at the most inconvenient time!
Good luck!
