Organize: your albums & scrapbooks

In addition to the altered CD-lunchbox album, which is filled with mostly family before college photos, I have five scrapbooks: 4 from college-present and one for my little buddies (better known as my nieces and nephew).

I had been stacking them but aften emptying this decorative shoebox, I realized the books would fit well in it and with labeled tags tied to the spine, I can easily identify them. I call it a scrapbookcase.

I'm sure to serious scrapbookers, I'm compromising the quality and preservation of my photos, but I don't care, it's better than having photos in those sticky, magnetic albums of the 1980s! Besides, I know my friends love looking at my albums (and I love sharing) and this way they're easily accessible.
