    I've got all the photo albums! Help and advice please.

    Hi Marlene, I'm rushing so I have to be brief but I'm thinking on this.  Your words made me shudder as right now I have tons of photos - my parents', grandparents', great-aunts', aunts' --  Mom alone has so many.   I'm sure I'm forgetting people and then there's my own!     You're right, so many interesting and cool photos, often without dates or identifying info.   I've taken photos of a few to scrap and scanned some but it's daunting.   And I often wonder who will want them later?

    You've got me thinking, I'll check back here with any thoughts and to see what others have to say.

    Yes perfect! Thanks for alerting me to this one. I need to see if I have it.

    I thought of it right away because it's my birthstone and I have it!  Amanda has mini collections for most, if not all birthstones, I have a few of them!   😊

    I can't believe I forgot my shadows on layouts no 2 & 3. I'll go back and fix that. :hit-head-with-hammer:

    OOOH!  I hate when that happens after I check and recheck a page and then notice something after I post it!

    I'm sorry. It was a good idea. I thought I replied. ❤️

    No, no - it's ok, you didn't have to reply!  Just wanted to be sure you saw it, I was amazed at the deluge of tater tot images I found on one try, who knew?  🤣  Someone mentioned tater tots yesterday and all I could think of was your "pocket tots".    Such an adorable story.  
    Down at the Jersey shore there's a little "restaurant bar" that has great food and instead of french fries they serve...    Tater tots!  I forgot about that until just now.😊

    @Tracy  This is what I said above --

    "what I normally do is search "tater tot" on the internet and extract the image to use or blend.   I found a few good ones when I searched, a few even had white backgrounds for easier extraction!"  

    I really did see a few good images with just one search on Yahoo.   And the white backgrounds make extraction even easier!   Who ever knew tater tots could be so famous in a search!

    Tator tots are always left out 🤣 The poor family relation 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I went with potatoes and focused on the story. And I'm sorry as it has kids as the focus, it wont be posted here. Short version of story: My brother in law went to dinner with co-workers. The co-workers daughter thought tots were gross. So my BIL ordered tots and made a big deal over how great they were. Another co-worker  reached around behind BIL and snuck a tot and then pretended to pull it out of his pocket.  The little girl was amazed. And now when they see her she will pull a tater tot out of her pocket and offer it up to them, and they have to eat it 🤣🤣🤣 And Pocket Tots was born LOL

    That's a great story Tracey and I can see why you'd want to scrap it and need tater tots!      I'm sorry we won't see your page but thanks for sharing the story here.  😄🤣

    I am in need of a tater tot LOL. I have a great story and photos to scrap but tater tots are needed. I am having trouble finding a tater tot. I see fries, burgers, pizza, and own a bunch of food kits, but help, where's the tater tot???? 🤣

    Haha, you made me laugh, Tracy!   I couldn't find a tater tot either.  😩    I'm wondering if you can use a collection that would work and then what I normally do is search "tater tot" on the internet and extract the image to use or blend.   I found a few good ones when I searched, a few even had white backgrounds for easier extraction!

    Hopefully someone else might have luck with the SG tater search!  :giggle_bear:

    Ahhh see, I learned how to ignore the house and read LOL And the youngest is a teen so I dont have to feed him other then dinner 🤣 So I have lots of time to sit and read. And I read in bed every night. I've always loved reading so from about 7 I learned to read over all else 🤪🤪🤪 Drove my mom nuts sometimes.

    Haha you made me laugh and I get it, really!  I was always the same, as a little girl I'd come home from the library and lay on my bed and read, read read until my Mom had to stop me!   Problem is now, besides chores I have other things like scrapping and crocheting to name a few - that I also like to do so everything fights for my time and unfortunately reading loses out!   Now, that is not the case in spring and summer because I love to be outside so that becomes #1 and I take my book and sit outside and read.  Once it's summer and I'm at the town pool I'll read almost a book a day!   But, for now when it's cold and I'm inside I get pulled by other things....    It's hard being a grownup.  🤣

    Well. Stayed up till 11:00pm to finish the book! Was so good.  I wont say anymore but hurry up discussion time LOL

    That's great!  I'd better get cracking on finishing the first one, but always seems there's something else I must do when I have time.
