I am a scrapbooker, so I take TONS of pictures. I always get them all printed, but I rarely put them all in a scrapbook. I am ashamed to admit how far behind I am on my scraping, so obviously I have to store my mounds of photos until they get put in an album. I also have to store all the photos that I don't use (I NEVER throw a photo away). Creative Memories sells a great solution to this problem: the Power Sort Box. This box holds an amazing 2,400 photos (up to 5 x 7). It comes with 12 separate compartments and dividers that you can write on (use a pencil and you can even erase). I use this large box to store all of my photos that did not go into one of my scrapbooks. Here is what Creative Memories has to say about their product:
The Power™ Sort Box helps you organize your photos. Sort by theme, year,
friend or family member – it’s your choice! Power™ Sort is the solution to years
of scattered family memories. It allows you to get them organized, so that
eventually you can share them all safely in a Creative Memories album.
They also sell all Power Sort Mini Box. I use this box to hold all the photos I am currently working on putting into a scrapbook. It comes with three compartments and six dividers.
A cheaper way to organize your photos: Ziplock bags. Put your photos in them and label the outside with the event and the date. Store the bags in old labeled shoeboxes.
Another great idea is to have a "photo give away" box. Put leftover photos in here that you don't care to part with. When someone has a birthday or other special occasion, pull out a photo and stick it in their card/gift. People always love to get photographs.
