Everyone has them filed away in their closet, under their bed, or stored in the basement. They are there, you know they are there, but you just never find the time to do anything with them. You dread the thought of having to go through them; You hate the notion of having to spend hours doing it.

What is this dreaded evil that is taking up space in your house and in the back of your mind? It’s your family photos! Yes, they can make you scream louder then any horror screenplay by Stephen King. The picture taking was easy. Now organizing that picture taking and putting it in a place you can easily get to…that’s the hard part.

There’s no easy way to do this other then to sit down at a PC and scan your images onto your computer. Yes it takes time, but you also save your photos FOREVER! I have my 30th birthday coming up and had all those photos staring at me. They were mocking me, laughing at the mere thought of me having to get this done.

I took the time, scanned my photos into the PC, and now I have an extensive library of photos that the whole family can easily get to and enjoy. It was so easy that my mother, who can barely use the computer, hopped on to a photo greetings cards site and made one of our family photos into an awesome photo Christmas card.

The only tools you need for this task is a PC, a scanner, and previous pictures you have taken. If you have all that, then sit down and get the job done. It’s worth it! Put the TV on in the background (I like wrestling myself) but if you want to watch reruns of Who’s The Boss…go ahead!
