Photo albums galore, what to do?


Posted: Nov 7, 2009

I have some pictures on discs but any other thoughts on how to preserve these rather than letting them yellow away in photo albums. Some of these are really, really old and I would love to preserve. Any and all information appreciated.

This is what I did - just me

I literally have hundreds and hundreds. Husbands great great grandparents wedding, photo's probably from a time when the camera was first invented. My favorite pic is grandma at age 2 looking up and at her grandfather laughing. Absolutely love it. Pictures are very very precious to me...okay, sorry, didn't mean to get off in that.

What I did was this. I made collages with the pics, copied them onto a special type of fabric, and turned them into a quilt. I've been thinking of making pillows and quilted wall hangings too. I bet they'd make excellent holiday/birthday gifts. Otherwise I do have a lot of framed photos around my house.

Pagan Priest Wins Right To Wear Goat Horns In License Photo,Dec 17, 2016
It doesn’t matter how many articles of clothing Phelan Moonsong puts on before walking out the door each day: If he’s not wearing his favorite pair of goat horns, the Pagan priest might as well be naked. Unless the 56-year-old Millinocket, Maine, man is sleeping or bathing, his beloved horns are rarely far from his scalp. It’s been that way since he first laid eyes on the horns at a Pagan men’s group gathering in 2009. A friend whose goat had recently died offered the horns to gr ...
