I have thousands of pictures that I will never have time to sort through, and dozens of old photo albums. Now what I do is to download all my photos to my computer, using a large SD card in my camera. This holds a year's worth of pictures. I replace my SD card every January 1st, mark it and save them in a box. I used to use Kodak until they moved everyone to Shutterfly.
I do not print pictures anymore. Quarterly, I make a picture book. It costs between $25-30 dollars. And they are simple, light weight, customized, and great conversation piece on my coffee table. They can travel well with me, being the bragging grandmother I am. I make 8x10 soft covered books, which is the cheapest way to make them. You can make them fancy and expensive if you like.
The books can be made for seasonal themes which I do. I also do these books for gifts when a grandchild makes their 1st communion, graduation and so on. You can become so creative with these books. The books I do for gifts, I do 5x7 and soft covers and personalize them. They only cost about $12-18 dollars. "No more prints and photo Albums" Yeah!
