pffft there has to be a better way!!! I'm sitting at my parents house going through boxes and boxes of childhood photos - over 30 years worth of seven children's photos ... and I want copies of everything but the SCANNING STINKS!! I hate it!! It's so time consuming and BORING!! Bah!
Sorry, just had to get that out lol.

LOL!!! Well, on the bright side now we know we aren't suffering alone!

Cut down on the actual scanning time by scanning multiple photos together and split them up later.
I really feel for you (as I sit here looking at the last three albums from my mom that still need to be scanned....)

There's a website...wish I could remember where - that will scan your photos for you. shoeboxprints, maybe? Nope - that's not it. Ah, shoeboxreprints.com . Maybe it's something you want to look into?

I guess I must be in the same boat cause I've been putting off scanning a bunch of stuff. So now I know I have company.

I have not been putting it off as much as my scanner has died... but my mom just bought me a new all in one for my b-day... so I guess i dont have a good reason for not doing it now.
