Just a little vent... I have pictures that I submitted twice for our dossier to Russia. They are photos of our family, our home's exterior and several interior shots of the house as well. The second time I had to do this, I said to myself... (after hunting down the photos from several locations)... "Jackie, you need to get all those photos together should you ever need them again."
I don't know if you are like me, but I have photos everywhere... on a flash drive from an old computer, on my current computer, at two different processing websites, and in shoe boxes and photo envelopes around my house. It's a little scary and there is no way I would consider scrapbooking just for the sheer dread of having to sort through all of those photos. Quite frankly if you are one of those organized picture people, then you can skip this post, or better yet come to my house and help me! lol!
So, after determining to put all the photos in an safe adoption place... guess what. I can't find them....... anywhere. How frustrating! I'm trying to put the children's photo albums together so I have it all done before we get the call. So much for advance planning.... now I have photos out everywhere and none of them are the ones I need! Anyone else do this kind of thing?

Ohhhhhhh dear!!! You're not that far from me - we might need to have an "organize your pictures day". :-) I'm so anal retentive about my pictures. I hope you find them!! When you had them printed last time, did you upload them to somewhere online? I think the fact that we get buried in adoptiong paperwork doesn't help any! :-)
How funny - Trust me -- you are not alone!! I suppose with children it may only get worse!!
I am just like this, too. When it comes to pics. But, it surprises me that you are like this when you seem to be so organized with everything else. It's so our of your nature. Still nuttin' but love for you, though! lol
I feel your pain!
