Way too many photos but never enough to scrap ?

I realised the other day I dont have photo albums anymore, I just print off what I need and work from there

Where can i get the proper boxes? TO PUT MY PHOTOS

Beaver I have cropper hopper ones and they have smaller plastic ones that go into a larger size one, great for putting themes. They are great (if you sort your piccies out ) but the only problem I have is that they only take 4x6 and I went throught a stage of getting 5x7.

Mine are in the cd size RUB boxes sorted by date order and then event. I cut up A4 card to make index cards and have labeled each event so I can just flip through the boxes. It took me three weeks to do them all as like the original op I had over 30 years of photos. I layed them all on the bedroom floor and did bits at a time. It was a massive task as many had no dates and had to be matched by counting cake candles, matching dresses or background furniture/wallpaper

This made me laugh as I too have many times had to count candles on the cakes to work out how old one of my 3 children was in the birthday photo

I once had to date a photo based on the framed photos that were in the background of it! well, aunty such and such was obviously already married cos that's her wedding photo on the mantle, so it must have been after X year... at least the candles aren't more guesswork...

At the moment most of my photo are digi stored on a mountain of cd's. The printed ones I have in two albums and in there developers wallets. I do want to print all the digi ones though and I do have films that need processing (I will do them this month). Once they all come back and I can buy my 'sam' box i will put them all in this box with the dividers telling me whats where. We always used to have a red one of these when we were growing up
