So I'll be starting a fun project this summer.

For a long while now I've wanted to create a family photo album for myself.

And now thankfully with the pictures I acquired this past year dating back to my great-great grandparents I'll be able to do that.

My plan is to start with them, then my great grandparents, grandparents, my parents, and then myself and my sister.

I've see so many albums like that and with all the photos that my family is still lucky to have I want to make one for myself depicting my history and my families.

I even remember this old photo of my dad I saw ages ago in his military album that I want to get.

And with the way technology is where you can make a simple copy of a picture on a scanner, it's that much more important and easy that I do this.

I found some really good albums that contain like 300-500 slots for photos so that's more than perfect.

Wow, that sounds like an amazing project Keep us updated! I hope it all works out the way you'd like it too

Me too, Ron!!!

Ron_Beckett

Thanks. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on said project. I probably won't post the pictures but I'll try my best to describe how the process goes.

Bec =)

That sounds like a wonderful project, Ron! Let us know how it turns out.

Ron_Beckett

Will do!

I've all ready started to go through albums and pulling out the ones with pics I'll use.

All ready it's been an eye opener.

I discovered for my 6th birthday I had a blue trimmed Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers cake. And on that day I was wearing what was one of my favorite Lion King shirts. It was a white and purple baseball type jersey shirt with Simba on the left pocket.

I even discovered an album of when my parents got their master degrees (I was 5 or 6 at the time) and the building where they got theirs is the exact same building where I got my bachelor's degree a year ago!

~*~*~

Going through this stuff is fun!

I figured I'd start now so I can have time to go through and pic out pics that I want to use.

That's awesome Ron. I did something similar when I was working my family tree. It's a pretty awesome keepsake. Just be warned....you do one for yourself and suddenly the rest of the family will want you to do one for them

Ron_Beckett

Ha ha I'll keep that in mind

It's so cool going through all these photos of my younger self.

Bec =)

It's interesting how we forget all these things, but a picture brings it all back. Things we didn't even realize we could actually still remember. I get like that with my photo albums, remembering things from my childhood that I can't remember off the top of my head at the moment.

I'm sure it is a fun project, but it is a huge undertaking! Best of luck with it. I wouldn't have the patience for that.

Ron_Beckett

LOL yeah a huge undertaking in deed

I've all ready got 9 photos from my ancestors and my dad when he was young. I still need to find some of my parents.

But I've found several of me that I plan to go through and chose from, lots actually.

The hard part will be narrowing down all the others.

But something like this, I do have the patience for. I see it as fun.
