Keeper of the camera can be overwhelming at times

The world of digital can be overwhelming at times. Are you that person in the family that always has your camera? Do people look to you to take pictures and distribute them? Do people assume you can take photos, videos, organize them AND email/mail them out? Well, something eventually has to go. Blogs, facebook, scrapbooks, home videos, the list goes on and on. I refuse to say to Peanut, "well Mommy was too busy to make a scrapbook for you, only Pickle has one." I'm lucky enough that both of my kids were born in the digital days. No negatives for these babies. But.....I have a fear of loosing my photos. I have decided in case of tornado, hurricane, flood, fire or any other natural catastrophe I will put all my photos on an external hard drive and mail it to my in-laws in case something were to happen. I was going to give the hard drive to a friend on the block but what if our whole street is hit by the abominable (?) snowman or something. I'm a little bit of a freak like that. I would DIE if I lost my photos.

So, I'm starting a new thing called digital scrap booking. An amazing company by the name of Heritage Makers has perfected digital photo albums. It's a company that backs up every album you order so if anything happens to the album you can reorder another album. Anything including tears, rips, pooped on, peed on, puked on, or anything else for that matter. So why Heritage Makers vs. the other companies? Well, it's like a scrap booking store, they have every chochsky imaginable. Their albums are tied at the binding as well. It's defiantly more pricey but worth every penny for my kids. But if you are my family please please please be happy when you get the less expensive version from shutterfly or snapfish. Or simply make your own :).
