organise my photos

All those photos sitting on my phone memory for like 3 upgrades has finally been set free. I sent all the ones I promised to send and never did, downloaded the ones I wanted to keep and print. Filed all those pics on my computer and put onto discs, and stored them. The digital world makes taking and keeping photos so easy but put then on discs or printing them to put in albums has become that much harder because they are so accessible.

Glad it’s done and i was able to de-clutter stuff at the same time.

There is a really beautiful picture of me on the beach with my aunts and my mother on one of the Tobago Cays island.

I adore this picture because I don’t like photos of myself at all, I always think I look like a lost cast member of a horror movie. However, in this picture I look really beautiful, stunning despite the loss of hair due to chemo and I think I know why – joy. At that precise moment and infact for that entire trip I was delerious with happiness. All those bodily hang ups that women are prone to didn’t mean a jot to me; I had come back from the brink of death, was able to travel to be with my mother and aunts, all of them amazing women with fantastic stories.

What i always wanted to do was give my mother and aunts a canvas print of that picture. Finally, I achieved the goal as I got the news from the shipping company that their prints had arrived. I eagerly awaited their calls and tonight I got them, all of them at once on mum’s phone, all gushing, remembering and trying to out do each other with expressions of how much their gift meant to them but the bottom line is they were all happy and they love their gifts’ and I got a chance to smile my self silly. :-)

about this for a while. But managed this week to finally print some extremely old pics of my parents, when they where teenagers. I took them from my parents, with the promise to return them as soon as i got the copy, that was two years ago.
I look at these old black and whites, my mother 19 my father just turned 21 and they look so innocent and I often look at those pictures and wonder what they were thinking of at the time, what did they want for their futures and did they know that part of their future was each other.
They are now sitting in a silver box frame and now I have to find them a home.

Totally silly but I really like them, they just brighten up my day. Found these magnetic picture frames at my local supermarket and I have some really pretty postcardsof beautiful places in England that had no home and have been sitting in a box forever, so it was a real joy to put them on the fridge door this morning and I feel wonderful everytime I go into the kitchen.

I have no idea why I never thought of putting them on the fridge door before….

Got those pic in the pic folder on disc. Then printed the ones I wanted. Finished putting pics in one photo album. Plan to get another photo album for my holiday snaps. I am totally chuffed that I finally got one album done.
