Organizing my History

I have a few (ok, several) boxes full of unorganized memorabilia, cards, letters, photos, ticket stubs, travel brochures, etc.  I usually just toss anything that has meaning for me into a box thinking that some day I will organize it all.  To this day I haven't, and living in two rooms with most of our stuff in storage makes one want to consolidate and get rid of things!  (At least for me it does).  I think a blog is a useful tool in that I can catalogue all of these items and (to my recent discovery), can choose a publish date in the past.  So, I can go through and photograph the MOST important items, and transcribe the words of the cards, letters, allowing me to get rid of the paper clutter.  Paperless scrapbooking!  Hopefully this will be a success for me.  I imagine it will be a work in progress because there is a LOT to catch up on!  Wish me luck, I'll be doing this between feedings and naps if Evie and Jane will cooperate!
