Easter – The Life, Designs & Crafts of Marie Haigh

Drowning in Pictures

April 17, 2016 Marie HaighLeave a comment

After we got home from visiting family on Easter, I pulled all the pictures off my camera. All 600 of them. On my computer is a folder labeled 1st for Sorting. As always, I just transferred the pictures off my memory stick and was about to walk away and tackle the many household chores when I noticed that the pictures in the album totaled close to 2,000.

So, I sat right back down and started the long task of sifting out the gems and deleting the rest.

I tackled Easter first.

Then, I started at the earliest picture in the folder. I was shocked to see it was from Christmas!

Goodness.

I need to sort through pictures more often.

Or take fewer pictures.

How does everybody else do it? I feel like I used to have a handle on it when I was only taking pictures of Elly. But with 3 kids, I take many more pictures and have considerable less time on my hands.

On a less whiny note, I did finish sorting all the Christmas pictures.

Next to tackle Elly’s birthday pictures.

I don’t know about you, but here in the Haigh household we dye eggs year-round.

Although, we used to only use the Paas kit, I have since learned that normal food dye works just fine. My egg dyeing recipe now consists of a few drops of food dye, 2 tbsp of vinegar and about a cup of cold water. Easy.

The trouble is in limiting Elly to only dyeing 2 or 3 eggs at a time. Otherwise, all of our eggs would be hard-boiled, dyed and sporting smiley faces.
