Hard to believe that Picasa is free

In an earlier post, I promised you I would tell you more about Picasa—a Google program that you can download for free. I can’t take credit for discovering Picasa on my own—a friend told me about it—but I like it so much that I want to encourage you to use it, too.

So what exactly does it do? It gives you an easy way to share, search, and edit your photos. I actually don’t use it for sharing, but it basically allows you to create on-line web albums. You can make the albums private and share only with friends and family or you can make them public for everyone to view.

Preserving photos and paperwork for an eternity

I recently saw a posting on craigslist for someone looking for help creating photo albums. It sounded like she felt she really needed help because of the quantity of albums that would need to be created. This reminded me of a project I undertook for myself over this past year.

First a little background. I am an extremely organized person, so I have all of my paperwork filed in a couple of file cabinets—one larger one for most things and a small one just for school stuff. When I was a young girl I asked my mother if I could create scrap book photo albums of the boxes of photos that she had and she said yes. So basically, everything is very organized.
