Photo albums? I have a gazillion of them, though not nearly as many since the world has gone digital. So, most of mine have very old – not very good – photos. This is the latest in our Where Bloggers Live posts which come out once a month. They’re all really entertaining and interesting to read, so be sure and check out my friends (links at the bottom of the post).
I started photo albums when my kids were born – never kept them in high school – not enough $ for photos and not nearly enough time. So, I have a lot of albums, mostly family, some of various travels and mostly old. I keep thinking I’m going to get them nicely organized, but, that may never happen.
The above ones are mostly family and travel ones. Then there are a number of smaller ones.

- These contain cross stitch pictures

Yes, I had a “Head Shaving/Birthday Party” the day before I started chemo for breast cancer (back in 2007).

Daughter & #1 son & Frosty – they were all taking good care of me.

- grandkids stockings
I’ve cross stitched for 50+ years, so there have been many, many projects. These are all close family. I have 4 children(+ spouses) 8 grandchildren (+spouses), 2 great-grandchildren (soon to be 3 – I’m currently working on that one) and they ALL had to have stockings. Then there were the wedding samplers for all the grandchildren. SO, there are LOTS of pictures of all of those.
But, perhaps my favorite photo album, is the one I created after Chuck died. It was a very cathartic job and took me a couple of months to finish it. Lots of pictures from friends and lots of elegantly typed explanations. The front portion covers the time when he was on Hospice and his funeral. The latter portion is just family & friends pictures and comments. I still enjoy getting it out and going through it, especially on “occasions”. The album itself was a gift from a friend and was just already here. It has elephants on the front – imagine that.
