Just some uses I've found for my new favorite organizing tool...$1 photo albums!

I pick them up when I see them, because they seem to be there one minute, but nowhere to be found when they are on my shopping list! I see them (in the US) at the dollar bins at Michael's, Joann's, and sometimes Target.

I printed the kids' poems they study for recitations. I've printed them on 4x6 cards and slipped them in the book, with the current memorization in the front...that way they can flip through and review past poems.

Another one, I am slipping receipts from Christmas Shopping in. That way, when I have returns (I already have a couple from some shoes I bought the kids that are too small...whoops)...I just slip the book in my purse and voila, I have the receipt (still readable LOL).

I am now printing up photos of the house that I took when the house had "everything in its place." Yes, it happens every once in a while. I'm putting the photos in the album for a visual right/brain cue for myself and the kids as a goal for each of the rooms.

I'm sure I'll find lots more uses...I'm thinking of scanning my current knitting patterns and shrinking them to fit to take along in my knitting bag.

And of course, don't overlook the most obvious use...photos of the kids to be sent to relatives.
