While I enjoy scrolling family photos and the ease of digital files, we still make photobooks and calendars from our pix...great write.

oh so sad and so true Lin - technology is moving on but I am not - I much prefer to see a photograph album - I also know of people who have had phones/ipads etc lost or stolen and they have no back up at all and their pictures are lost forever:-( hugs jan xx

It truly is sad, Jan. I print out my favorite ones, especially of my grandson. I've collect old picture frames for years and now I use them! It costs so little and is worth so much.

First of all I love senryus! But this hits my heart the most because I scrapbook. I have 32 scrapbooks since 1999. I'd much rather be able to flip pages of a book and remember special memories than watch a video. Videos may not always work or they get out dated. This way the memories last forever. well written, it hit home to me..:)-luloo

I knew you were a scrapbook lady, Luloo. Keeping those albums is a labor of love, and you're right. Those memories can be shared over and over again when family members get together. Thanks for liking this one.

It is a sad truth....I love going through old photo books...I do have some tucked away but not many.

So do I, Tim. I made childhood albums for my children and when they married, I put the books in their hands. What loving memories we see and smile at when those pages are turned. thanks, Tim.
