And typical for my life, that launched me onto a completely different project. I was looking for photos to use and the only high-res photo I could find was this little gem from our first Halloween together.
So that launched me into a photo scanning project. Now, three days and two boxes of photos later, I've scanned all of my prints until the middle of 2000. The exciting thing is that by the end of 2000 I had a digital camera. So only half a year of photos to go. Yipee! (I do have two albums of prints from my wedding but still, the end is in sight.)
It actually wasn't too bad. I used the continuous scan function on VueScan and I watched about 30 episodes of Arrested Development courtesy of Netflix.com (before I finally switched to Monarch of the Glen, which I'm watching right now, as a matter of fact). Honestly I would have kept going with the scanning but I was getting serious carpal tunnel in my wrist from switching out the photos...I'm not kidding. But on the up side, I got to finish my first layout for my Focus52 project. And I'm looking forward to fifty-one more layouts of the important...and unimportant things in my life.

Well lookit that!
Not only did you get a project done for the week, you got another HUGE project done for yourself! ha!
I'm just going to go ahead and take full credit for that. LOL
You can pay me back by coming to do mine, okay? There's a good 20 years worth ;)
oh my word!!!
I can't wait to hear about this. I don't even know what language you are speaking in some of this post, but I know it's going to inspire me to want to take on a new Heather-inspired challenge!
ps - love the photo too! I've been thinking about doing some retro blog posts to capture some random memories and maybe that will be a catalyst to scan some photos.
