Wonderful for all those old, old things.<br /><br />Brand : Hammacher Schlemmer<br />Called: The Slide and Negative To Digital Picture Converter.<br /><br />I guess the name of it pretty much says it all! LOL<br />I do believe back when we bought it that the cost was around $80. We had tons of our parents slides and negatives - so it was worth it.<br /><br />I looked and a newer model today is around $150. I well imagine that you could probably find a different brand that would be cheaper. H.S. is always pricey.<br /><br />I still have all the actual pictures, and I make gift scrapbooks from time to time for nieces and nephews. They love all the older pics. They could also be used in crafts<br />We have also made CD's of digital pictures for many family members.<br />Just some ideas.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-77981622334771124962017-03-07T11:15:00.402-05:002017-03-07T11:15:00.402-05:00Cheryl, you are truly an inspiration! what was tha...Cheryl, you are truly an inspiration! what was that gadget for the negatives to digital?

We do have just about everything (photos) on a digital format. Several years ago we even invested in a gadget that transforms negatives to pictures on the computer. Well worth the money spent! Everyone in the family knows that if they want pictures, where to go!!!! LOL<br /><br />We also have all our important documents saved to digital - even insurance cards, titles, license plates, etc. You just never know!<br /><br />It is awesome getting organized. Keep on truckin' away on it!<br />Have a good day.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-51873202687297674412017-03-06T10:34:20.651-05:002017-03-06T10:34:20.651-05:00My friend is also doing the 40 bags...she is havin...My friend is also doing the 40 bags...she is having fun with it, old photos and such...I am getting paperwork organized, found three of our vehicle titles! and got the knitting patterns into a notebook.

Of course, I have been trying to de-clutter for a long time. 31 years in the same place makes one complacent with way TOO much stuff!<br /><br />It seems I am often in the right place at the right time. I know people who do much better. I do try to save where I can.<br /><br />Keep plugging away of your resourcefulness!!!!<br />Have a lovely day!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-61792346933641303402017-03-06T08:14:02.964-05:002017-03-06T08:14:02.964-05:00Nancy, no I haven't tried it yet, but it is on...Nancy, no I haven't tried it yet, but it is on my list.

Yo...You saved money in so many ways this past week! You're so frugal and have an eye for finding some great bargains. I've been trying to be more financially resourceful this year as well. Sounds like a lot of people are spring cleaning and decluttering. I'm do the 40 Bags in 40 Days challenge. It's such a good feeling to get rid of things that are no longer wanted or needed.Harvest Moon by Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026575111937500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-33873118732880378482017-03-05T21:14:34.806-05:002017-03-05T21:14:34.806-05:00I am wondering if you tried the hour bread recipe ...I am wondering if you tried the hour bread recipe over on the Bluebirds site yet?
