WEEKLY DECLUTTER & ORGANIZE/Tackling a very messy cabinet and organizing over 2000 photos 😳

- Thanks so much for stopping by. I’m doing another weekly declutter and organize. I have a cabinet in my house that I’ve already decluttered and it filled right back up. I had no organize system in the cabinet and it looked terrible.
So I’m tackling it in this video!
This cabinet is where I store all my precious family photo albums with over 2000 pictures. The photo albums were big and bulky and taking up so much space 🤦♀️
I went on Amazon and order photo box organizers and decided to give those a try.
It worked out beautifully and even though this project took me forever I’m so happy with the finished cabinet and how organized it now looks.

I am 78 and have all my photos, my husband’s photos, some of my parents and grandparents! A lot of photos! My grandson told me no one wants paper photos, just digitize them. I started but didn’t finish . So now I have real photos, digital-photos, photos on my phone, so many photos. You have spurred me on to work on my stash! Good luck to us!
Gloria all the different ways to store makes it challenging!
Great job!! I have rationalized my thousands of pictures by proclaiming myself family historian. I bought a buffet and completely stuffed it with picture boxes sorted by kid. I do have a decluttering strategy. This method came about from trying to turn a negative into a positive. When we were moving, the moving company said that all of our things would not fit on one truck. They said that having a second truck would cost an ADDITIONAL $10,000. My "save every dollar" couponing self quickly processed that every item in my house has a weight and might require another truck. It became so much easier to let go of things. Now I just enter a space and think of how I can reduce the weight of my possessions. I don't want my children to be left with that burden--only the valuables, and of course, the buffet full of pictures. YOU ROCK, JODI!
UGH, photographs and organizing them gives me HUGE ANXIETY! They're all over the house & SO MANY of them!
My aunt was looking at photos of her daughters wedding.A man appears in almost every picture. Nobody on either side of the family knows who he is!I love you Jodi, so glad I found you , you brighten up my day!
Oh my gosh Elizabeth that’s a little creepy. How odd
Lmaooo wedding crasher haha
OMG!!!! Maybe he was someone's date?
With all the Walgreens free prints we get I usually try to print off as much as I can !! I usually put them in picture frames but recently have been trying to make a scrap book every like 4-5 years or so to keep them all & kind of tell a story with them. Brings a lot of good memories up looking at the old photos and movie tickets, plane tickets to like a random wristband from our prom years ago.
Morgane it does bring up so many wonderful memories ❤️
If you revisit the photos again in the future, consider 'curating' your collection. If you have multiples/ very similar photos, keep your favourite and then get your girls to pick through the others to add to their memory boxes, esp Grayson as she lives in a different house. That way if something ever happens to your collection, they're not all lost. I wish my family had done this; I have almost no photos prior to age 16, and none of my family from before I was born.
We just moved and my pictures are still in a box!
for children's crafts, especially your artsy child. your plastic containers are a great idea, but this is one for the future to keep those small. make a shutterfly book of their art, then throw away the actual art piece. the book can hold hundreds of pieces of art, versus a bin full of them. also could do it with your photos-i agree, I like to hold a picture. I like to do one for certain occasions - disney in one, wedding in another. they are nice since you can put notes about the event!
I'm a scrapbooker but have so many - this project is on my "List"! Mine are both one drive/dropbox/boxes/old albums - you name it!
I have all my photos in a photo box too, all neat and tidy 👍. Also I wanted to tell you a wedding day mishap, my husband and I married in 1989, we bought our house the year before but was not allowed to live together until we were married. A couple of days before our wedding we took all of our clothing to our new home ready for packing for our honeymoon, unfortunately my husband to be didn’t think of having clean underwear for the wedding day, therefore, he decided to go commando, unfortunately, the zipper of his suit trousers broke 😚luckily the photographer noticed as we stood at the alter. The video shows, him whispering to my husband and me laughing my head off. Great job as usual Jodi ❤️
Hi Jodi! I was the photo person in the family in my teens. I took the pictures, shot the videos, made the scrapbooks. Then I did the Konmari method and saw how many photo albums/scrapbooks I had and if it was stored digitally I threw them all away. I had a lot of anger with my family that I couldn't understand. I am older now (in my early 30s) and have healed a lot. I don't regret trashing everything. Only thing I have that are printed are my baby pictures (1989 baby) and early childhood, no backup of those.
Tah-dah! You did it. You want a picture job. After my parents died, I separated Dad's pics between their 3 girls and the 3 grandkids. It took a few months. Just pretty pics, household get togethers, and a Mom and Dad one, all have an album. Many slides were of both me and Cindy so I had to put them on 2 scan discs. All of us are happy that I took the time to do that
I have been accumulating photos, CDs, DVDs and the like for many decades- they are in one of 3 storage bins, divided only by Early years (mine!), Husband (also mine!), and Life Together. The storage objects are two Hatboxes (round with lids like the original hatboxes of years gone by) and one large clear tote. All are under air-conditioned space to control for heat and humidity. Other family members are holding 8 millimeter film and very old photos, including some sepia-print and daguerreotypes as their "stash" of family lore! We have spoken about this and think we will all chip in and send what we have to a Heritage service which sends a set-up box and guides you through what they need to make a collection of DVDs or thumb drives of the things we have kept. We will ask for duplicates and share them with the others in this round-robin arrangement. We will make gifts of some to our parents and great-aunts and uncles so that all in my Mom's generation get one of everything transcribed. Need to establish what areas each of us will cover to avoid duplication and to make sure the cost is not too exorbitant for any one family... Getting excited! Enjoyed this video- thank you!
Wow so very organized!! I love it ❤️❤️
I had my photos in a wicker box.in a very wet rainy state.now I’ll be getting these plastic bins
My photos are a mess! They’re in random boxes and old photo books. You’ve inspired me to fix it and to print more photos than I have been the last 10 years! ❤️
That’s awesome Kelly ❤️❤️❤️
I have a closet full of scrapbook supplies, scrapbooks and pictures. I am about 20 yrs behind. So I guess to answer your question: How do I store my photos? I would have to say my answer is...I store them in a closet in random bins, boxes and baggies. Lol
I have organized the closet but still need to organize the photos themselves so that I can possibly scrapbook them slowly.
I appreciate you! It’s a great day to have a great day!
I have a friend that I have been helping declutter. We’ve done the laundry room, daughter’s bedroom, living room and her closet. We don’t get rid of many things, mostly garbage and putting things where they belong, rearrange furniture and clean. We started because she was super overwhelmed and had surgery so she was unable to do anything about it. I’m still working on my home, but I’m to the point where she and her daughter came to my home and I wasn’t humiliated.
That’s so awesome! And so nice of you to help ❤️❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 I would so much rather do this at her house than mine. It’s exhausting, but I really enjoy it. We’re best friends and both of our husbands died within 2 months of each other in 2020. They were 50 and 52. So she knows I won’t push her to get rid of anything that’s her husband’s and I think it is helping us work through some of our grief.
I’m a scrapbooked so I have tons of pictures and supplies. This is giving me motivation to start organizing them! Have a great weekend !
Your photo boxes are far more organized than mine! I got into the scrapbooking craze in the early 2000's so I have albums for each of my two boys they go from birth to about 8th grade and then just a few pages for high school.
I too had braces grade 5-7 bit the day I got them mybsisters friend commented that I was one of the only people she knew who looked good in braces! God Bless you Brenda for getting me over being self conscious by your kind comment.
Awe! That was so sweet of her! It’s tough being a kid because we care so much and want to fit in.
Hi Jodi. I am from Michigan too. I have a dresser full of photos. I too love hard copy photos. I keep mine in a huge dresser. God Bess and Godspeed.
Yes there is nothing better than a printed photo!
Hey Jodi this is awesome! I too am a cricket and the micro-organizing can be exhausting. I did this with my parents pictures and it literally took me weeks. Pulling out pics from old albums, using some new albums and using the same photo boxes you have. I dated everything and tried to put them in chronological order haha! With my pictures, I have them stored in photo boxes like you or I used to scrapbook and still have those albums. When my boys were in elementary school, I made Shutterfly books for each school year that included art projects, awards and report cards. Now with everything being digital, I make a yearly Shutterfly book of our family with events that happen throughout the year. I love your decluttering series! You’re doing an awesome job!
Love the yearly Shutterfly book Amy ❤️
I never thought to take the pictures out of the photo albums, Genius idea. I just bought photo boxes from Michaels for all the loose photos. Then I put all the scrapbooks, memory books and photo albums in a big bin so that I could hide the clutter. A lot of the organization videos I have been watching tell you to put things in containers. I have found this to be such a game changer. Although now I am spending money on containers. LOL. Thanks for another great video.
Love it Rosa! Yes sometimes the bins work great ❤️
I'm baaaack! Lol. I pulled all of my pictures out of my books several years ago. I was going to make scrapbooks. Needless to say, that hasn't happened yet. So mine are all in random boxes in a tote!
Digital.... I'm still figuring that out. I don't have a computer. All I have is my phone. So I'm just trying to delete unnecessary things 1st. I'll figure out the organization later. I'm not technically savvy.
And I don't really have home decor. I have framed pictures. Like everywhere!
Pictures are my weakness! I am a cricket and a scrapbooker, so I could get lost in photos for days. I use a program called Historian 4 through a company called Forever. I really like it because it basically allows you to categorize your photos in lots of ways. It can be overwhelming to set up, but I am appreciating this system as I am preparing to make a graduation album for my oldest daughter. For physical photos, I use Creative Memories photo boxes.
After watching this made me realize that I have pictures all over the house as well. This is making me want to get them all together and organize them
I went thru all my photos last year and removed blurry ones, doubles, and random people. All kinds of photos that I did not find I loved. I also would pick favs of bdays and holidays. Instead of keeping a picture of them opening every single gift, I would choose just a couple. After I was done, I let my daughter go through them and keep some she wanted. I literally cut my pics almost in half. I still need to move them over to something like yours. Mine are in the old show box style photo boxes. It was so so much work. Honestly, I did not finish it 100%. It was backbreaking. You did a great job. And congrats on 9000!!!!
I took my photo albums apart like you just did ten years ago and put them in cardboard photo boxes and gave one box for each of my kids. I kept some for me. Recently I got two large photo albums and made one my favorite pictures of old family pictures and my childhood. The other is my adult life and raising my boys. I had to stop. I didn't realize how much my divorce and my mom's death ( she lived with us ) still upset me. So I have it half done. I probably won't finish it and keep the pictures in a decorative box. My kids will keep them or pitch them when I'm gone. I understand how much work that was. It's cumbersome and emotional happy and sad memories.
Exactly JoAnn! It was physically and mentally exhausting
I always thought I needed to put photos in albums, but now probably just need to take mine out also and organize them in boxes all in one place. Love your videos on both channels, your outlook on everything is so encouraging. Thanks for sharing your home & life with us all.
Michelle me too. And photo albums are so big and bulky. This really helped condense space ❤️
i love you, jodi! you’re my favorite cleaning mom ever!!!!
Awe thank you Ana ❤️
Hi! I agree I love my pictures! I store some from my dad and grandmother in suitcases that belonged to my grandmother that she used to travel with .
From one cricket to another! I give you credit for taking on that project. I haven’t taken mine on yet. My father in law was a professional photographer…enough said. Wish me luck!
Labels on top so you don’t have to FIND the right box…also those boxes are great to organize seed packets for the garden!
I totally agree Jodi! I prefer to physically be able to touch pictures. Read real books too lol. I know they will love those memory boxes!
The Cricket 🦗struggle is real!
I've learned to adopt the "Progress not Perfection" mentality & realize that "Good enough is good enough" (Steph from The Secret Slob ❤)
U are progressing so well & I'm so excited for u!🙌
👍👏👏👏 acc. to mari kondo cathegory " photos " is the one hardest declutter journey. You did an amazing job 👏
Great job Jodi. I’m afraid my photos are in boxes and albums in a big cupboard under the stairs, I have also got all my parents from when the passed and I could not get rid of them, I did go all through them a could of years ago and got rid of photos, of people feet , noses, you understand photos kids took and scenery that I have no idea where they was taken. I keep promising myself I will sort one day. Xxx
I agree with you about printing out pictures is not the same when it's digital even if you're having a family party you can't even pass the pictures around for everyone to see them. I always tell the young kids now please print out the pictures
Yes!!! Digital is great but so unlikely to ever be seen again 🤦♀️
Hi Jodi, I've been watching for days of your declutter/organization videos, My photos have been a challenge and i have been living in my place for over 30 years, my 2 girls are grown and I've remarried 6 years ago between me and my husband we have 13 grandchildren, I have my girls school photos of each year on the walls of my living room and seeing Walgreen's is always having free 8x10 I have them all of the grandbabies and I am also bad with décor so I have wall to wall photos on my living room walls and now starting to go up the stairs. Everyday i see how the grandbabies growing thru the years
We have 3 huge albums and a memory card full, they are always kept in a bag near the 'important documents' so if there is fire or anything else and we need to run we can take those 2 bags and run. The bags are fire proof too.
And the memory card has yearly files with sorted monthly photos. And they have a back up on google too.
It took months and months for all this to be so sorted.
But now its done. 🥰🥰🥰
WOW! great job, you can always revisit this when that can be the focus.
Ok. I haven't even watched the video yet. Lol. This is just after your intro. My motivation is my mental health. When we live in clutter, it causes stress and anxiety. Even depression. Which I'm being treated for all 3. So I need my home to be my haven. I can't relax in a healthy way with all the messes.
Have you ever gotten really stressed out because you couldn't find something? My trigger for all of this, was over a thermometer!
I fell again over the weekend. It's just my clumsiness. I'm fine. But...that lead me to declutter my PHONE! I'm still working on it! It's unbelievable what we accumulate on our phones.
My photos are literally EVERYWHERE. I'm in the process of gathering them all into one space. I'm tossing blurry ones, duplicate ones, and ones that make no sense. Another great video, Jodi! ❤❤
That’s awesome Jodi. I have such a hard time throwing photos away 🤦♀️
I did toss about 100 zoo pictures of random animals 😂
O...M..G...have spent all afternoon sorting out photos. Have also found 6 - yes 6 - films that have not been developed, goodness knows what's on them so that will be a nice surprise when they come back. Who would have thought sorting photos was such a big job!
Gillian right?? It’s a way bigger job than it looks like it would be 😂
Great job 👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing your memories with us. I have 15 big I mean big totes of nothing but pictures of my children and grandchildren. Yes digital is nice but for me its about holding the picture and remembering that exact moment it happened. Have a blessed day❤❤
I use photo albums and large binders with photo sheets in them. I like this option so that I can flip threw my photos
Jodi, your funny about the motivation part, love it. Ain’t that nice when your kids ask for help about these things. I use to be motivated like this when I was younger but..I’m older now and have lower back problems so..it’s hard to sit to long and or stand to long and I had always like getting down on the floor to do things when it come needing to be on the floor. But..no longer can do. I envy you getting cleaning etc.
Since my kids are born, I make a picture album online every year (2020, 2021,ect.) and order it for me AND for each of my kids, so when they move out, they will have a album of every year. It sounds like a lot of work, but one year is not so overwhelming and I have the most important photos physical as well, not only digital!
That’s a great idea Julia ❤️
Organizing photos are the worst….but great when it’s all done 😊❤️great job
Yes and yes Francine! So happy to have that one done ❤️
I bought some of those boxes you use for your cash stuffing and now all our photos look nice on the shelf and are organized enough for me. And I got to look through them all as I rehomed them. A win-win-win! :)
All my photos are online and this video makes me realise how badly I would love to have printed versions of them and albums. Amazing job on the organisation! 💜
There just is nothing like a printed photo! But they do take up space
Without motivation, your doing a great job...
You always cheer me up Jodie and I love hearing about your project however big or small they are🤗I'm a professional photographer and save the images in project folders, year folders as well as keyword them. Obviously this is a TON of work if you just start out and have to go back and keyword everything but if you constantly do this when you drop your images in your computer it's very easy to find things later😊Looking forward to your next project!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Most of my photos are electronic but I do store some in photo books but this video had opened my eyes to better ways! I store my kids photos by their age!
❤️❤️❤️
I love photos' albums, even if they're bulky 😪
Looks great. I have a lot of pictures of my oldest as well. I only have a few of my youngest. I have an album for each of our children & store the rest in boxes. We were almost late for our own wedding. My father in law broke his foot while hunting and had a cast put on. My dad threw the whole rice bag at us, instead of taking it out of the little bags. We ( my husband & myself) joke & say he was aiming for my husband to knock him out.😅
I suggest putting the label on the spine of the photo boxes so you can more easily identify them? I'd also be tempted to dispose of duplicates... Maybe later, it'll be time consuming. Also, when my mother passed I scanned all her photo's and saved them to 'google photos' and shared the link with my siblings.
Omg , I went through all my old ugly albums about 2 years ago and took everything out and tried organizing them, threw out so many duplicates and bad memories. Then I started putting the remaining ones back in new pretty albums and I gave up. And now I’ve had piles of photos sitting on a bookshelf for 2 years. And my mom got irritated that I ruined all her albums. Lol 🤷🏻♀️
Oh no Kavita 😂
Yes photos are so darn time consuming!
I unfortunately really only have digital pictures, except for what’s hung on our wall! You’re doing great!!!!
Organizing my photos gives me anxiety! 🙀
I have started and gathered most and put all in same place but that’s about it. Kudos! I have scary wedding story, Myself and bridesmaids held candles going down the isle in a candle holder with flowers draping down from it. When after the wedding (months later ??) I was packing up my wedding dress and vail and there was a burn hole in the vail! Eeeks I was lucky the whole vail didn’t go up in flames. 🙀
Oh my gosh that’s scary!! So glad it didn’t catch on fire!
You have inspired me to get on my photo album project. I’ve been wanting to purge duplicate pics and sort family photos. I had braces too. You have beautiful teeth and a wonderful smile. I wish i could print my digital pictures. How else can we easily reminisce and share with friends and family. While i watched you sort your pics i went on Amazon and ordered those photo boxes and labels!! Thanks for the inspiration.
My stepmom made be printed picture book of all my childhood photos for my high school graduation!
That’s wonderful ❤️
I love your "memory boxes" for your girls, and I'm going to share it with my daughters so they can do it for their kids. Great idea, thank you.
Thank you Janey ❤️❤️
Must of my pictures are Digital. I do have a lot of old photos of my parents and grandparents that are stored in a box . After watching this I’m going to order a photo boxes to put them in.
All my photos are in a huge bin! I love printing out photos!!
My whole house bothers me ! That's why I love watching ur videos...hoping it will inspire me to get to it¡!!!!!
Jodi, I am an avid planner and the past 5 years I have been printing my picures and adding them to my journal so i can look back at my entries and see the pictures corresponding to that day. I kills 2 birds with one stone for me since I frequently flip through my old journals!
Love that Katherine ❤️
thank you for the real real, i store on a cloud, you are inspiring me to print them out
BOY can I relate to THIS video!! I JUST reorganized my Wedding Photos. (Married 35 years) I had some in albums that were not acid free!! I gathered all photos together and actually treated myself to a beautiful new album (Mr & Mrs on cover) and put them all in one place.! Along with Honeymoon photos AND Bridal Shower photos!! What a job!!! I love the photo boxes you are using...but I find having them in nice albums I tend to look at them more often. So I guess I use the boxes as a holding area until I get them in a album. Great decluttering and organizing video and as always you make me laugh!!!
Oh that’s awesome Heather! The albums sounds beautiful ❤️
Hi Jodi. I alway love looking at pictures. My aunt adopted me. She keep a army footlocker full of pictures. Her husband pass away. When I think I was 2. She would get her pictures out and just cry.
Awe!! Yes looking back on pictures is a true gift ❤️
This was a great video to post! I would would watch you declutter/organize/clean anything! You have such a great personality! I store my photos in those little plastic boxes as well and I love it. It’s easy to just stick them in there whenever you find or print more photos.
Thank you so much Megan ❤️
U agree w u 100%….nothing like the actual photo in ur hands!! My most prized possessions are my photos & albums!! A few things that helped me when organizing the 1000s upon 1000s…throwing out duplicates or triplicates…getting rid of very fuzzy or unclear pix… getting rid of random landscape pix that don’t have much meaning! I was able to cut a good amt & saved a ton of space!!🥰
That’s awesome Pina ❤️❤️
You could get a 👞 box to put the little photo books in and it would look better and keep them safe
I'm a cricket too! When I saw the photo organizer I thought that's what I need! I currently am using one photo box with dividers and some albums. I've been loving your organizing videos.
They worked out better than I expected them to ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Jodi, love all your videos…on both channels! I store my photos like you did 😂 in cabinets, in albums, in every room.
Hi Jodi, well done! My mother gifts us (every Christmas) one photo album that is printed from a website- you create your own photo album with digital pictures and scanned pictures. It’s a lot of work but we have beautiful albums that we can go through when we want of each year of our life. She scanned a lot of pictures but you can also have a company do that for you. I love your videos !!
We use a French website because we are French but there are plenty like pixum or Shutterfly
Oh that’s so wonderful Fanny ❤️
What a beautiful gift!
I fiNELY GOT my pictures together, after 50 years. I got boxes like you have
Awesome Marcia ❤️
Beautiful wedding dress💐
Thank you 🥰
I'm a cricket, but I try to dial back the micro-organization so that my family can put things back the right way more easily! 😆
I store my photos digitally, but I got myself a digital picture frame that cycles through a selection of favourites. I do want to go get a large print of my son or our family sometime. I do revisit digital pictures, probably more than physical prints, because I like to keep a few favourites on my phone, too, and that changes every time I upload my photos from my phone to my compute.
Yes that’s a great idea because it’s definitely harder for a non cricket to understand our organizing 😂
Digital picture frame is such a great idea ❤️❤️
I still have photo albums, the ones on the phone stay there or once in awhile I will do a slide show. Your humor makes my day. I am watching this at 5:17 am, couldn't sleep. I love your photo boxes you purchased.
Thank you Sheree! I’m sure my loud voice and laugh did not help with not being able to sleep 😂
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 not even the case sweetie! I did get a nap in later in the day.
under my bed in small storage bins after i gave the kids their own pictures & memory and bins - !
I have photos everywhere lol. In albums, boxs, frames stored in plastic containers. Love your photo box idea.
Yes photos get out of control so fast!
My pictures are in frames, boxes, albums, digital form.... 🥴. I love love love pictures. When you were talking about the catagories, I thought but what about the picture with Donna and Viv?... Can't go in Donna's box, can't go in viv's.
Congratulations, Jodi! You're gonna have to stop growing this channel, cause you'll go broke doing giveaways. 😉
My husband is an identical twin so some guests at our wedding congratulated my husband's twin brother instead of him. Lol!
Oh my gosh Debbie 😂😂😂
I have started to organize my photos into photo boxes. I get stuck too with wanting perfect categories. I want the dates to be right too, but my mom didn't always get them developed right away so the dates don't always match. It is definitely a work in progress. 😊
Jody I really enjoy watching your videos. They do motivate me and I have started some big projects. We are trying to get ready for a giant garage sale. We are trying to get out of at least 1 storage unit!! Both of my parents and my grandparents have passed and I inherited a great deal of furniture and household items... One suggestion is to put your label on the top of the picture boxes, I have the same boxes that you just put your pictures in and I put my label on just like you did. I found that I spent more time trying to find the container that I had put the picture that I wanted. So I changed the label to the top that is facing you when you look into the box. This change was less frustrating for me.
I so much more prefer a physical picture! I love them. I have so many as well but I definitely prefer them. It's true, nothing like holding it and seeing them when going through things. I absolutely love pictures and having them to look at. I store mine still in the photo albums and just keep them in albums and I also have shoe boxes of them labeled but I never even knew about those photo boxes but I don't think I could do that. It's amazing how you did all those. I just have to keep them the way they are. Seeing a lot of photos sometimes is very overwhelming emotionally for me so I don't really like to see too many of them unless I'm looking for one to show the kids or something like that. Otherwise, I just keep them in those albums and boxes. I have no reason to go back to them because I go through my children's pictures probably the most but not really those from my younger days, etc. I get too sad seeing my parents and one sister all who are not with me any longer. And all those albums, shoe boxes are in totes in the basement. LOL, I definitely have more of my daughter than son too because being a new mom...as you talked about. But I also have a lot of video tapes that I need to get put on a DVD or put somehow digital although that scares me. I don't know if I want to go totally digital with pictures. I'm mostly scared of them getting lost. And I have all my digital ones backed up in two places because I'm that scared they'll disappear. But I do love a physical picture the most. Thanks for sharing all that though. It had to be immensely intense to do for sure. I could only imagine. But good for you, you did it and now it's finished! Hope you have a fantastic rest of your week! :)
Nancy yes going through photos is so time consuming and emotionally draining for sure!
Digital is great and easy but I find no one, including me 😂, ever sees the photos I store digitally 🤷♀️
🦗I am also a cricket! I am so proud of you, I need to do my photos still, I am going to try to not over organize. 😀
Thank you Leslie ❤️
Been watching your videos from the beginning but finally subscribed this week lol I don't know why I waited. I keep all my photos in the entertainment center under my television.
Thanks for subscribing 🤗
My photos are a hot mess! This video gives me hope. Thx!
Tons of photo albums ! That's how mine are. Also , I know I shouldn't, but the digital photos are on memory cards. I keep them like negatives.
Ps fantastic job !!! I would have been so stressed taking them out of the books just based on the organization factor ! Like you say you need them a certain way. I think i might be reorganizing over and over.
Sue yes! That was my biggest challenge. Continually moving them around. I finally had to say enough Jodi 😂😂😂
Wedding mean wedding. Don’t separate the reception from the ceremony, or the before the ceremony. I could have spent weeks trying to organize them.
I had gone through all of the photo albums a few years ago and I gave away a lot to family members that wanted them,my two nieces wanted pictures I had of them when they were small because their Mother ,my sister in law got mad at them( not the girl's fault at all ) and she wouldn't give them any of their pictures of their childhood so I gave them what I had and I asked other family members to give the girls the pictures that they may have had when they were even younger since I wasn't in the picture ( no punn intended) with my husband. And then I asked other family members if they wanted any that I had of their kids and others that I had taken way back when. like I said before I really had a lot of pictures to get rid of. I have one son ,who is 27 and we went through the ones of him and he picked out what he wanted to keep and he put them in his fire safe. Funny story about my wedding was three things first when we went to light our joining of one heart candle the breeze coming through the windows of the church kept blowing out the candle and I was thinking maybe this was a sign we wouldn't be together very long? But we have been together for almost 37 years. And the second thing was Our pastor got sick that morning and he was swaying back and forth we thought he was gonna pass out in the middle of the ceremony but he made it through and had to leave right after and we found out later he was at the ER and found out he had the flu and in the middle of August to boot ,thank Goodness no one caught the flu from him.and the last was there was this lady in all of our church pictures and no one knew who she was at the time,and after my brother in law was looking at our wedding photos he said " Holy crap when was she there? " and we asked him who she was and he said it was his ex mother in law and that she must have found out that his son ,her grandson was our ring bearer and she wanted to be there to take pictures ,and she wasn't invited and Me and my husband were so upset and my brother in law called her and said you have enough nerve coming to a wedding you weren't even invited to and didn't even know the bride and groom" .she said she was sorry but she wanted pictures of her grandson in his tux. He told her that she was in so many of our wedding pictures and that we were very upset to have pictures of someone that they didn't know and wasn't even invited. Crazy right??? Hugs from one Dunn to another Dunn! 💓
Oh my gosh Roberta that is so funny!! I can’t believe she just showed up uninvited 😂😂
We use Snapfish for our digital photos. We also have a memory box for paper photos.
Congrats Grandma.🥰
I use the app smug mug for our digital photos. We don’t have many printed photos, but what I do have I store in a plastic tub.
I loved the boxes you bought for all your pictures. I take sooo many pictures and at first it was very hard for me to go digital but now I love it. I use Shutterfly to keep my pictures organized and easy to share. But you are right there is something about having the physical picture. My plan is to digitize all my old pictures. That will be a huge undertaking but I’ll get it done slowly.
Yes that will definitely take some time but if you like the digital storage Angi it will be worth it ❤️
Looks wonderful!
Loved those photo boxes Jodi. Of course I am also a cricket and before anything gets organized in my home it is a horrible mess for months or years 🙃.
After watching this video I know I need to tackle my photos too. Congrats on 9000 subs.
Thank you so much Donna 🤗
I’m a cricket as well. I can’t bring myself to put my photos in boxes . I think I like the printed books. So I’ve got all matching albums for my older prints and now I don’t print them anymore I make books online and there so much slimmer and easier to store.
