Before the age of digital photography we all used - film, remember that? Once the kids came along and I became a parent, the stacks of pictures floating around my house turned into mountains.Over the years I have tried so many methods of organizing these mountains of photographs. No matter what I try I still come across an occasional pack of pictures in the original envelope along with negatives (whatever should I do with those?) My filing system was as prehistoric as the film: cardboard photo boxes overflowing with memorabilia.

Recently I came across this wonderful photo box that I just wanted to share. Use the following link to get one of your own:
Cropper Hopper Photo Supply Case 4”x6” Prints.

It is made of plastic and includes 12 individual plastic 4×6 photo protectors (Think paper photo envelopes in plastic form) These protectors each hold about 70 pictures which means that the box holds about 800 photos. Also, there is space to slide negatives into the front of each protector. There are labels included for the top of each protector - I have labeled each packet by year (i.e. 2000 vol.1, 2000 vol. 2 etc.) This makes it easy to add “found” pictures somewhere in the middle by just adding another protector that year’s set.

Anyway, I have tackled my photo mountains! And, hopefully, I have given you some ideas on tackling yours.
