Before I started blogging, I spent a lot of time making DVDs of our photos. Here are some of them on the top shelf of our CD/DVD cabinet. All together I made 22 of them. Actually it was more, because I updated most of them - sometimes more than twice. After I would finish one, I would run across some more pictures that should have been included, so I would have to update it.
Making the labels and covers to put on the holders is almost as much fun as making DVDs, but not quite.
When people come to see us, I don’t bore them with home movies (we never had any of those). I bore them with DVDs.
Here is the front of the one about Carmel & Monterey. That’s a picture of me probably about 25 years ago. We spent our honeymoon in Carmel and those pictures are on the DVD as well as pictures from the many trips we have made back there over the years.
WOW...what a great idea...and collection!
ReplyDeleteBTW, is that your kitchen on your banner? It's GORGEOUS!
Wow, great way to save precious photos…
ReplyDeleteand so organized …

I like the idea of the DVD's. We are transferring all of the old 8mm of my Hub's to Dvd. I am assuming you scanned your pics and then burned them to DVD? Did you put any music to them?

What a great way to preserve your memories!
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte! Now, that was a lot of work... how wonderful to have all your photos organized like that. We've been to Carmel once, and oh how I'd love to go back for another visit! Someday...

What a lovely place (Monterey) to have preserved in your DVD library.
ReplyDeleteI find blogging takes the place of a lot of scrapbooking ...I really need to print out some pictures of my new grandson, so I can carry them in an album! I'm behind!
Thats' a great dvd cover. And then...I also wanted to add my heart took a leap of joy seeing the quail on your shelf. I so enjoyed watching them in our yard in Tucson! We even had nests and families there.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, hope you can drop by my show n tell if you haven't already.
Charlotte,
ReplyDeleteMy husband is in the process of doing the same thing. There is a program that he uses where he can add music to them as well. He makes various montages/themes with them.
Have a lovely weekend.

What a neat thing to do with photos!
ReplyDeleteThat is awsome. Wish I was smart enough to do that. this is something you will treasure forever.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was that organized
ReplyDeletewith my photos!
Charlotte, thanks for stopping by my blog. I have looked on yours several times and laughed that we are so close to each other. I also was a pastor's wife for 20 years. I enjoy reading your blog. Yes, anything that can remind us of the water is a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteI should do that too, I have so many hundreds of digital photos. It's cool that you made them all covers too!
ReplyDeleteI love your white hair so much that the darker hair is a surprise. I remember dark, thick, long hair. Now I just wish I had hair. Well, I have almost enough to cover my head. All three of my children are going to have the same problem.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you rock with your picture collection. I have a dresser drawer full, both of mine and my moms. Guess I will just pass them on. Connie

That's awesome. My husband's aunt loves to do that. Someday, I'd like to compile all of our pics that way. For now, i'm lucky to just get them uploaded and saved to a cd. Future goals?! Hope your having a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat organizational idea. Now, if I ship you my HUGE box of photo and old memories, would you just do that little favor for me?
