Hello lovely desk hoppers and crafty people everywhere!
Today's desk hopping exploits are overseen as always by the Queen of all desks, the lovely Julia, so pop over and check in, link up and show off!
Okay my desk -
Piles of old photo wallets taken from Keagan's photo box all ready to be photographed. Those of you who attended the WOYWW crop last year will remember my baby smash book I was starting to create for Keagan. Well I've already made the pages in the book for pregnancy up to 1st wk home so now I need to take pics for the next few months. I'm literally taking photos of the photos so that I have a digital copy. I tried scanning but the quality wasn't as good.
Such a precious photo of my mum's mum (my Nan), she passed away in 2000 when Keagan was 18 mths old, she adored him and loved to chase him around to grab a cuddle whenever she could.
This is the photo of the photo, pretty darned good. Now I can crop it and focus on the 2 important people and of course with the digital age I can tweak it so I have a fab photo. But all the originals will stay in the photo box for Keagan when he's older.
The other side of the desk. Usual things present and that huge photo box! The light is fairly bright despite it being cloudy.
Right so that's me. I'm off to make a coffee. I confess I've not long got up so I'm just starting to get sorted for the day!
Will be back to visit as many of you as I can later. I've got photos to take and an article to write today!
Take care Zo xx
Super photo and lovely memories too. BJ#67

That's amazing that scanning doesn't work better than taking a picture. I mean, it would seem to me that scanning would have worked better, so that shows what I know, lol So nice to have pictures and great memnories showcased in his smash book. Thanks for visiting my desk today, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥

Oh, Zo, I do love that picture of your Nan with baby Keagan! Priceless! Thanks for sharing the tip about taking photos of the photos, rather than scanning. OMG, that scanning take forever longer, too.

Aaah, Zo, what a precious photo of your Gran. I know just what you mean about taking photos of photos rather than scanning, I get better results that way too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for calling by - belated Happy WOYWW and a Happy Easter my little friend :) Hugs, Di xx #51
Hi Zo, great photo of the photo! My DH spent a lot of time doing the same with his parents old photos, works great with digital cameras. Love your smash book, sounds like a long way still to go but lots of fun and memories along the way - that's what I love about scrapbooking, you get to relive all those memories :-)

You did a marvelous job on that!! Awesome!! I don't think I'd have the patience to tackle that huge box of photos, lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Blimming late this week Zoe, but no less pleased to see ya! Love what you're doing for Keagan...I know the pleasure is in the fdoing for us, but it will be so valuable! What impresses me most is that you're doing it chronologically...I've tried that. OMG I was bored witless. Why is that?!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of Keagan and Gran.
ReplyDeleteYou've got plenty time to complete his album.
I like the idea of copying the I'm late coming roundotos and giving him the originals when old enough to appreciate the history.
I'm late coming round this week.
