Organizing from Dropbox to Lightroom to Bliss
I like to organize things. In fact, I spend way more time organizing things than I really should. When I first started my pocket scrapping project, I would spend hours uploading, sorting, moving and tagging my photos. This took up the majority of the time I spent at my computer. I knew that if I was to keep up the project, I would need to find a way to make this whole process a lot easier.First, I got Lightroom all set up.

My hard drive, on the other hand, is truly a work of art, hehe. It makes me twitchy when things are not where they belong. And again, the peanut gallery named my husband comments on that as well, saying "it seems all you do is move stuff around on your computer". HA. Well yes, I do that alot. But it makes me happy to have a small sliver of life that is completely within my control. With a demanding "real" … [Read more...]
