You are not alone my friend!!! A few months ago I realized that my at least 3 foot stack of layouts sitting on a corner of my table was in danger of falling over. To avoid that disaster I had my DH set up a table in our unfinished house. I took all of my layouts over (it’s just a few feet from the cabin we’re in now) and I sorted them by grandchild, my daughter, DH’s family, etc. Then the weather got chilly and we ended up having to go down to Kentucky for DH to have surgery. That was totally unplanned!
When I first started sorting I was looking at all the layouts and the 2 or 3 empty albums I had and knew I’d have to spend money on albums. I ordered some from Amazon because it’s free shipping to even Alaska if you’re a prime member. That could be one option for you.
Of course while we were in Kentucky I got to spend an afternoon at HL. They didn’t have a huge selection but I think know I have what I need. Now the weather is getting chilly again and that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Steve wants to work in the room where the table is so I need to get over there, turn on a space heater or get a fire going in the wood stove downstairs and get to work. Lol!!!
So I totally understand where you’re at! Maybe we could encourage each other??!!
I am with you 1000%. I have about 15 albums full that are by year… 7 full vacation albums and stacks upon stacks of layouts that need a home. Then I have 12 x 12 iris cases that are labeled by year…they are all full too. I need to break down and buy albums. I just rather spend the $$ on pretty supplies!
Wish I could help. I have not finished any albums yet and I have one for every year since 2000, plus, 3-Girl Scouts, 4-Marching Band, 5-Disney albums, Camping, 4-school year albums and there are more.
