I got a new camera for Christmas, actually a Sony Handycam, HDR-SR11. I’ve had a couple of Handycams over the years, but not for several long years, and never one like this. The old ones were tape driven, and were problems for me over and over and I tore one apart and gave another one away, which that one worked for my sister in the Seattle area, but not for me in GA, it kept the dew lamp on here and wouldn’t function, even when inside our A\/C’d house all the time. For her it worked. Just plain worked, no more dew lamp.<\/p>\n
So I have a nice HDD sort of Handycam now, and it’s really good. I have a Memory Stick Pro 4 Gig card in for Photos, and put all the video on the HardDrive. I have to get better at shooting video so that I have to do less editing. I haven’t edited yet either, just looked at some things on my computer about it, I don’t relish working with the stuff since I seem to have little time on the computer with a toddler in the house again. (baby is getting bigger and older day by day, he’s no baby anymore! Well, hardly at all.)<\/p>\n
I also feel bad about all my photos from all the years past, I still haven’t gotten them into albums, they sit in boxes, by date, but in boxes. I want them all in album with text comments. Then all digitized and then all my digitals that I have now, and the ones I need to get done, to have good tags on my computer, and then the really worthwhile photos put into scrapbooks.<\/p>\n
I struggle with the scrapbooking aspect of it. I have had scrapbooking ability since early 1996, before my children were born, and here I am 13 years later and I haven’t one complete scrapbook. I started with CM, but I hate their albums. I have a few other albums now, the past couple of years, and have created pages for them, but nothing cohesive. I like full 12×12 pages, in protected sleeves, and move-able since they are complete. CM isn’t that at all.<\/p>\n
So next about it is space. I still don’t have really good space, or any space at all, to scrapbook. So it’s too hard to get anything done at all.<\/p>\n
Recently I have had new stamps added to my collection, wonderful clear stamps, and I can’t use them with no setup to work!<\/p>\n
I got a Cricut Expression last year for my birthday, I had a table it was on, but it’s not there now. It was sort of useful at first, but now it’s not. I need dedicated space for it to work for me. I like it and did use it on my bed to make some things at Christmas, but the card I wanted to make didn’t materialize, so I sent nothing out, but had some tags for presents, whoo hoo.<\/p>\n
So that’s what’s bugging me, so many “memory” things I need to get in order STILL and more added to it with video ability. Simplifying all this is what I need, starting with the place to do it, and the stuff to put it in. That is scrapbooking and desk space for my needs, and books to put everything in. And also, for sure, places for each scrapbooking supply to be useful.<\/p>\n
It’s not probable that this can occur to the extent I need it to while in the house we live in now, but I need to get SOMETHING carved out for me, SOMETHING!!!! Simpy something!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
