I am so right brained, I am forced to keep my space super organized or I wouldn't have ANY room to work. People comment on how neat my area is and say I'm so organized, but I have to point out that it's because I'm so NOT naturally organized that I have to keep it that way.

This is the MAIN reason I love this book! The author gives very practical and applicable advice towards organizing photos and then getting them scrapped. I have virtually all of my digital photos organized on my computer now, and my printed photos are nicely ordered in their photo box, each with its own section (I don't have a lot of printed photos, luckily, having come into scrapbooking with a digital camera in tow).

She doesn't just focus on organizing pictures, either. She gives practical advice and tips, describing the most commonly used page themes. If you step back for a second, you can really figure out what it is you're trying to accomplish before you start, which for some people may seem obvious, but for a right brained, distracted person like me, it has really been a life line in helping me get my family's memories scrapped.

I adore this book. It has really helped me!
