I wish... I still printed my photos and put them in albums (part 7)

My wish list is long and life is short.

At the beginning of January I discovered thirteen photo memory cards in a box. Inside them were hundreds and hundreds of photos from the last ten years of my life.

Over the past few weeks I have uploaded every photo onto an external hard drive and organised them in folders under year and event.

Just for fun, I shared some of the photos with you. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I'm glad they made you smile. 

Yesterday I opened an account with Photobox and created a photo book. I still need to add some text, but apart from that it's ready to print.

I hope you like it. If you don't, tough! I'm not doing it again; it takes aaaages.

Did you see this message on Photobox?:

Hi there, I've just created this Photo Book with my favourite photos and thought you might want to see it. 

If you like what you see, you can even order a copy of this Photo Book for yourself!

I didn't write that! So why is my name under it?! Scandalous. Fraudulous. That's not even a word. Anyway, don't buy it. It's going to be a present for my Mum. You can buy her something else.

Some of you have suggested that I continue this month's wish into next month. As touching and tempting as that is, my heart is set on a new wish for February. 

My wish list is long and life is short.

What I will do though is carry on sharing my photos and anecdotes somewhere else. 

I started a Facebook page today called Piccyback (get it?) for that purpose. But I made an error. I selected the 'Album' option when setting it up, thinking of a photographic album, only to discover afterwards that it meant music album. Great - Piccyback the band. Sounds like a tribute act to Nickelback.

So I scrapped that idea. Instead I went to tumblr, renowned for its photo-friendly themes, and started a retro-looking blog called Piccyback: historical photos - hysterical stories.

If you have enjoyed this month's wish, please follow the Piccyback blog or keep an eye out for links in my tweets. I've barely scratched the surface of my back catalogue of greatest photo hits.

Thanks. Join me soon for a new Wish of the month!

Do you have any funny photos and stories from your past that you'd like to share?
