It's the photos I can hold in my hand that mean the most to me. I am tempted to just stock the house with disposable cameras, because at least they will get developed onto paper.TKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409505008377005185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-13187485121723054482009-08-20T19:20:46.172-06:002009-08-20T19:20:46.172-06:00I love all your photos--I am currently "fight...I love all your photos--I am currently "fighting" with my husband because it's been almost three years since he has organized and printed our family photos and I am hell bent on making scrapbooks for our daughter who is an only child and only has one first cousin (who lives on the other side of the country).
