Okay, so I love to scrapbook. But I haven't in a looooooong time. I have so many pictures and have become so overwhelmed with what to do. I've toyed around with making a book on snapfish or walmart or one of those sites, but I have over 400 photos just for 2009. The book would cost about $250 to print out and that's just one copy. I don't know about you, but I don't have $250 laying around. And what about all the little videos I've taken with the camera? Just 30 second blips of life in our house. I was beginning to dread looking at any of my pictures. Figuring out what to do with them was just one more thing on my to do list, and it felt more like a chore then a fun craft/project.
Then today it dawned on me. Why can't I make a video? I could make a simple video using as many pictures I want, and add in the short clips of video we took too. I'm so excited to be working on this project now! I've even gotten started already. I've broken it down into months, so I won't get too overwhelmed working on it. I'm using Picasa, although I'm sure there are better programs out there, Picasa is free. I like free. And it's fairly easy. I really like easy.
So, if you have a ton of pictures and you are dreading printing them out, shoving them into albums, or making a scrapbook, why not make a video?
