Curiosity and temptation :)

I don't think anyone would argue the "pros" of digital photography, especially from a scrapbookers perspective. I know since I went digital back in 2005, I have taken many many more photos than I would have if I were still shooting on film. The photo quality is better (not as good as if I had a digital SLR of course ...but we won't go there LOL) and I love the instant gratification of printing and editing my photos at home.

However, I have today discovered a "con" :)

As you may know, I am attempting to get more up-to -date with my Christmas photos, and have been scrapping them chronologically for my Christmas albums. Up till now it hasn't been too bad...there has been a limited number of photos from each year, and they have been printed and filed in year order, all ready to put on a scrapbook page.

Enter 2005. The year I went digital. The year I started taking photos by the hundred of each and every Christmas activity, and printing not a single one of them. Overwhelming much?

I thought I had pretty much covered the essentials of Christmas 2005, until I went back through my digital files. Here I found photos that, at the time, I deemed unworthy of printing...but now melt my heart :) Look at Merryn's chubby little arms! OMG how adorable! I remember this so well...her circling the Christmas tree, reaching out to touch, and me saying "Noooooooo"...and her touching anyway :)

And thus begins the impossible task of trying to scrapbook every Christmas moment...and me giving up of the notion of ever being "up-to-date" with my Christmas albums.

Up-to-date is overrated, I think :)
