I was flipping through the kids' Halloween albums for one last time before I put them away when I realized I was missing a photo of my son in his costume from 2005! So, I had to search for my photo, as we have had several computers between then and now, and my husband just labels the folders things like "old computer pics" and "old, old computer pics".... Once I found what I was looking for, I printed it out and added it to the ring of vintage Halloween post cards.
I also noted as I was flipping through that I needed to relabel some of the photos. For whatever strange reason, my Dymo Caption Maker drops the letter "r", so if I tried to print out the word "years", the "r" would not show up. I tried scratching the "r" in with my paper-piercer; using a pen, and then tracing over it with a white gel pen; etc. While I thought it looked "okay" while trying to add that mischievous letter "r" to the labels, a second glance today made me realize it didn't look so hot. So, I instead of "3 years" or "10 years", I printed out "age 3" and "age 10" for a better look.
(Oh, and note to self...labels remove more easily from photos with a glossy finish than from photos with a matte finish.)
I am a perfectionist, I guess....who else would take this many days to add 2 photos to 2 albums?!
