Special Collections and how to organize them

special collections

Special collections.

We all have them. What do we do with them?

Check out this video on special collections and how to organize them.

 —

What collection do you have?

Did you start it or did someone else start it for you. Do you wish you did not have that collection?

Collections that were once important and special in our lives may not have the same purpose later on in life. It is okay to pass those collections on. Just ask yourself the question “what is the purpose of keeping this collection?”

Please share your best collection story.

I have a few. One of my clients had hundreds of salt and pepper shakers. They were EVERYWHERE in her kitchen. Can you imagine the work in keeping them dusted?

Good thing I know how to sell my clients “special collections.” Do you have one you would like to sell?

Contact me for more details.

Organizing your Photos

Would you like to get a handle on organizing your photos once and for all?

Have you got photos all over the house?

Do you know who is in the photos?

Do you know when the photo was taken?

Do you know where the photos was taken?

Are some in boxes,some in frames and some on your computer?

Check out this short video on organizing your photos.

I’ll bet you’ll get excited about some of the tips.

I know of people who take hundreds of digital pictures and then print them.

Do you feel this is double duty? Please leave your comments in the box below.

I think it is better to either have hard copies and not have copies on your computer or have copies on your computer and not hard copies.

The key question to ask yourself is ” who gets pleasure from seeing my photos?” Sad to say but most people take less than 7 minutes looking at their travel pictures. Who will want all your pictures when you are gone?

So, be mindful of the number of pictures you take.

Take time after a vacation or family event organizing your photos. If you do not take the time right away you probably will not do it. You will then end up with boxes of photos or a memory card that is full to the brim.

Still feeling overwhelmed with the volume of photos you have?

Get in contact with me for your FREE 20 minute session. I’ll help you with getting started or even come on over and give you a helping hand.
