Sometimes you need a strong dose of motivation, or even just a little bit of support. That’s why we created Save Your Photos and Your Sanity™, a step-by-step plan for organizing and protecting your entire photo collection in as little as 10 days . . . without losing your mind! We knew there were so many people out there like us that were overwhelmed with the “seemingly monumental” (o.k. make that “monumental”) task of organizing their photographs. It’s just too big of a job to go it alone. We all need support, encouragement, and even just the sense that we’re not alone in our struggle. So getting back to that confession thing . . . We needed Save Your Photos and Your Sanity™ as much as you do! We poured ourselves into creating the most comprehensive and fun program possible, and just like you, we try to follow that advice! We tell you this not so that you’ll wonder whether or not we’re really qualified to help you, but so that you’ll realize that in our imperfection, we are perfectly qualified to help you. What could we truly offer you if organizing photographs came easily to us? How could we possibly relate to your needs if we could organize photographs as easily as we could breathe? We understand you, because we are “you”. We’re real people who, until recently, felt overwhelmed by the task of organizing our massive photo collections. We found some answers because we needed answers. We dedicated two years to uncovering every tip, every secret, every possible method for simplifying the process of organizing and preserving our precious photographs and memories. And after writing Save Your Photos and Your Sanity™ and following our own helpful advice ;-), we can proudly report that our not-so-perfect photo collections are finally organized! Not perfectly organized, but very reasonably organized, and we were able to accomplish this, once and for all, by following the guidelines outlined in the book. Our photo collections may not be “perfect” but they are safely organized in a way that makes sense to us. Finally, we are enjoying the peace of mind that comes from knowing that we’ve protected our family’s most prized possessions. We’re thrilled to share what we’ve learned so that you too can get your photos organized once and for all, and so that you can enjoy this same peace of mind. Save Your Photos and Your Sanity™ is more than a book, it’s more like a step-by-step course, and it’s delivered electronically right to your computer so you can get started right away! Save Your Photos…and Your Sanity™ 104 pages — in e-book format — delivered to your computer by Christine Sutton and Tracey DuBois With Save Your Photos and Your Sanity™ you’ll be able to: Learn why your procrastination–and even your attempts at organizing–may be destroying your precious photographs! It goes without saying that your inaction may be destroying your precious photographs, but would you believe that your attempts at organizing might actually be accelerating the deterioration of your photographs? Here are some typical organizing steps that may actually do more harm that good:
Standard Photo Envelopes Contain Acid This photograph was stored in a standard photograph envelope, which was provided by the film developing company. Many photo enthusiasts rely on these envelopes to keep their photographs safe. This is a big mistake! This photograph has been discolored and damaged by the acid in the film envelope. The clear line of distinction indicates the placement of the photograph against the paper inside the envelope. Know the secrets to organizing photographs — quickly and easily! Many people feel so overwhelmed by trying to organize their photos that they simply give up. For some people it gets so bad, that they actually stop taking pictures because they don’t want to add to the mess! You’ll never have to worry about this happening to you, once you understand:
The scientific lingo and terminology of photo preservation get tossed around pretty casually. It may be casual to the “experts” using the terms, but it’s certainly not casual to the people trying to make sense out of them. There’s so much to sort out, and there’s so much to do, that it’s hard to even know where to begin. And making a mistake can cause you your precious photographs! You’ll know exactly what to do, and you’ll be able to enjoy peace of mind knowing that your precious photographs will be safe, once you learn:
This is just the tip of the iceberg! There’s so much more, we couldn’t possibly list it all here. And this is why we’re offering you our private collection of hundreds of tips and secrets on a completely risk free basis. Here’s what one happy customer had to say… Hi Chris, I am happy to report that I finally downloaded “Save Your Sanity and Your Photos” a few days ago, printed it out, and read it in its entirety (not bad for someone who hates to read! 😉 Anyway, it was good, informative, light reading. Some information reiterated what I already knew, and I learned a lot I didn’t know. I guess what makes me the most anxious is that I have “been here” before! You know, the point where you are determined to get your mammoth photo project underway. Something has always managed to get in the way, or fall through the cracks, and was put on the backburner. AGAIN! (Freud, where are you?!) I could really relate to the “Top 5 reasons people put off photo organization!” Especially the perfectionist and emotional factors. I will NOT let anything stand in my way this time. (My husband laughs at me when I say that!) I have established my “working area” and cleared out all the clutter to make it neat and approachable. I am not sure which “method” I will use yet. Probably a combination of the 3. The reason that I got stuck initially (when I stopped organizing photos into albums), which is the same reason that has prevented me from proceeding with this formidable project for the last 9 years, is deciding “HOW” I want to organize my photos. When my first child was born, it was easy. I made a “first year” photo album for him. Nothing fancy. No journal or scrapbooking. But it looks nice. I took the best of his first year photos and assembled them nicely into an album. Then came baby #2. I started his “first year” album and…guess what…that’s right, I got stuck and stopped! Being the perfectionist that I am, I didn’t know whether to put photos of just him in his “first year” album, or he and his brother (which I felt cheated son #2), or a combo of the 2. Then I battled with the decision on whether I wanted to have separate theme albums, such as “birthday album” for each child; christmas album; vacation album; etc. So this became my BRICK WALL! My oldest is now 10, middle is 9, and my daughter is 5. And to complicate things, I now have a combination of traditional photos and digital photos. And yes, digital photos that are just that… DIGITAL (another reason I could relate to your ebook!). Oh, have I mentioned that I have a closet full of photo albums, photo frames, frame samples, and scrapbooking supplies that remain in boxes!!! (My husband thinks I am OCD in regards to the “picture thing” LOL) Over the years I have purchased an array of products, in search of the “perfect” ones, only to end up with a bunch of stuff I have AVOIDED!! I am sure you have read my story a thousand times. But I tell you what…this is the first time I have ever written down all this…and now that I have…I feel a huge RELIEF!!! I am so thankful to have stumbled upon your website, and know that this is IT. You and Tracey have given me the inspiration, motivation, and tools to get moving with this project that has been hanging over my head for years!! Thank you so much, and I look forward to more interaction with you guys!! Warmly, If you’re thinking that this e-book is going to be some dreadfully boring read, stuffed with scientific ramblings on photo preservation and the finer points of creating meticulous organizational systems, then you can relax! Overcome the boredom – and actually have fun while organizing your pictures! “Your humour throughout the book is much appreciated as it does not feel such a lonely task now. . . . Glad to not be alone.” — Donna Believe me, we understand that the process of organizing photographs can feel overwhelming, and the whole topic of photo safety can be rather dry. That’s why we use every technique we can think of to liven up the process. We do whatever it takes – stories, exercises, and plenty of humor – to make the process not just manageable but enjoyable! And, as far as meticulous organizational systems, if that’s what you’re looking for, then you should probably not count on us. We’re not interested in creating perfect photo libraries that must be rigidly maintained. Our goal is to help you arrange your photographs in a way that works for you! The bottom line is making sure that you can get back to the photos when you want to, and ensuring that you’ll be able to enjoy your precious photographs for years and years to come. Arrange and display your photographs in a way that makes sense to you, so that you can truly enjoy them. There are lot of different options for organizing and displaying photographs. So many options, in fact, that it’s hard to know which methods are available, let alone which method to choose! You’ll be able to decide exactly which method is best for you, once we teach you:
Make sure that you’ll always have the memories that give your photos their meaning. Your photographs will hold more meaning, for you and your loved ones, if you’ve captured the memories that go along with the photographs. (Believe us, we know from experience after Tracey inherited a box of photographs with absolutely no documentation. Sadly, the photos are practically meaningless.) You’ll feel the joy of knowing that your loved ones will always have the stories behind your family photos, once you discover:
How to choose the right supplies – which ones will be safe and which ones will be the best match for your personal style. If you’ve strolled down the craft aisles of your local department store lately, then you know that there are seemingly endless possibilities of supplies. When it comes to organizing photos and recording memories, there is a dizzying array of supplies to choose from. And with the unprecedented explosion of the scrapbooking market, there are unfortunately, some unscrupulous companies jumping on the bandwagon. So how can you tell which products to trust? And how do you even begin to know which types of supplies will be best for you? You’ll feel much more confident in choosing supplies, once we teach you:
Your photographs tell only part of the story. What about all of those precious keepsakes, like certificates, diplomas, baby hair, hospital tags, report cards, and artwork? The list goes on and on —and so does the confusion about how to care for these precious items! As you’ve been reading about all of the helpful ideas you’re going to gain from the Save Your Photos and Your Sanity™ e-book, you’re probably wondering if you’ll really be able to implement the ideas. You may even have some doubts about whether or not you’ll be able to keep up with your newly organized photo collections. You’ll have no doubts about your ability to implement and maintain your new photo organizing system, once you discover:

Here’s what some of our customers “Save Your Photos and Your Sanity is a must-read if you’re a photo saver, a scrapper or if you just don’t know what to do with the years of accumulated pictures that haunt your basement and closets.” This “Reader Shout Out” is excerpted from Maria Gracia’s Get Organized Now newsletter: “A few months ago, you suggested the resource, ‘Save Your Photos and Your Sanity’ in your newsletter. At the time, my photos were totally out of control, and when I saw your recommendation, I just had to have it. I’m very happy to say that because of this resource, my piles and boxes of photos that have been accumulating for the past 10 years, are completely and beautifully organized. What wonderful memories, and now I can easily share them with my relatives and friends when they visit! Plus, they’ll be completely organized for my grandkids later on.” –Jerry Dear Chris and Tracey, . . . I finally pushed myself to sort my photos… this is after years of procrastinating and searching for every excuse under the sun to not get started. It was perfectionism at its worst. I had read tons of stuff, asked for tips in chat rooms and purchased boxes & stuff to get it done. Your web site was my final stop…. You guy’s got me to do it ! I got your book & printed a copy , put each page in a sheet protector ( you see this allowed me to procrastinate for another week 🙂 It was the female touch in your book that clicked with me. Because I had so many photos I had to use really big plastic boxes… I am now in the final phase of identifying stray negatives and a bunch of “stray” photos. . . . I have been riding high on the sense of accomplishment with that enormous weight lifted from my shoulders Love you guys & thanks, Joanne PS The feeling is as good as losing weight! Hello Ladies, I did get all of my photos sorted and marked and in envelopes a short time after I received your e-book, which, believe me was no small task!!! That was the most important and biggest job, and I am sooooooo happy about that. I would NEVER have been able to get accomplished as well without your e-book!!! If that is all I ever do, It is very much worth it. I am so grateful that I found your website. I have bought scrapbooking supplies since then started a scrapbook…Thank you again for your help, and it is really nice that you follow up with the e-mails, They help to keep me from just completely forgetting about it and they remind me that I really do want to get back to the task! I do save your monthly tips so I have them available for when I need a reminder of your good ideas. Sincerely, Dear Chris and Tracey- I organized my photos! I thought your book was great. It was exactly what I was looking for. A step-by-step process to get me going. I used the 10-day plan and stretched my “10 days” into a few months and probably more than 10 days. I had one particularly difficult group of photos from a big trip to Africa in 2001 — a lot of them looked the same, they were all mixed up, I wanted to capture many of the negatives for enlargements later, and I didn’t want to part with any of them.:-) But they are organized. Next steps will be to enlarge and frame some of my favorites and do some scrapbooking for past (and future!) vacations. It was an amazingly satisfying project that I could not have done without your book, girls… You guys are great — I’d be excited to read more of your work and more tips. Thanks!
