Okay, let's start with this one... What do you really do with the photos of other people's kids? Do you save them, or do you get rid of them?

I save all photos people send me of their kids. How many photos are you receiving Dee?

I save them. But my photos are not organized at all so they are just in a box with all my other photos. If I were organized with my photos, I might have a little discarding going on. It's hard to throw away pictures of kids, though.

They all get saved. Online pics have their own folder, pictures people give me or mail get hung up on the fridge or on the backboard for the dartboard (we rarely play these days and when we do everything hanging up there comes down, lol!) When I get a new pic the old one gets put in a photo album or in my picture box until I do a scrapbook. My step dad used to tape them on the inside lid of his tool box at work. When we had kids their pictures got hung up too. After he died, that was actually one of the things that bought both my sis and I to tears, we'd picked up his stuff from work, were going through it all, opened his toolbox and found he still had pics of us from when we were little kids up until we were grown. I learned from him, when I worked I hung all pics up in my locker at work, my kids, neices, nephews, and friends kids.

During my single days, I would not keep photos that my friends sent of their kids. After I settled down, I kept them in a box. Now that I am married, my husband has a great system...he uses a trading card binder for saving photos and it works great! I am considering scanning all of our photos except the super meaningful ones, and not keeping the paper photo any longer. Does anyone else do that?

I save them. I have all the photos of my friends when they were kids. I also have pics of my mother's friends. I look at the pics and they remind me of my childhood. I would never ever throw away a real paper photo that I liked.

My fridge is plastered with pics of friends' kids. I don't have any of my own, so I like seeing theirs.

I save every one also. And, oddly enough, I always remember to whom each one belongs and how old s/he is. Sometimes my memory can be amazing. Now where did I put my coffee mug?

We keep them all. We're pathetically sentimental.

All my photos end up in the boxes with all my old papers, when I clean the boxes out some get tossed others go into another box for further review at a later date, eventually they get so dirty and nasty from sitting around and getting moved around they end up getting tossed. I do have a few that I keep but for the most part the majority get tossed eventually.

I wish I was pathetically sentimental! I don't save much... I guess it comes from years of having to move every 6 months.... I do save most photo's, but cards get tossed.... I have the best of intentions... to get organized, so that I can save things... it just doesn't happen!

Save pictures in a box (gotta tackle that thing one of these days and organise it - yeah, right!), emailed pics on the computer in a folder, but cards get turfed regularly after varying times of holding on to them.

Pretty much what Jagger said! I still have Justin's baby pictures that need to go in his baby book (he is six now). I need to get organized ....

If someone sends or gives me a wallet size picture it goes in my wallet, if it's an updated one, the old one goes in a photobox. I don't have them organized but they are in a special place. The pictures that come as Christmas cards go in the same box. I don't get many in e-mails, those that I do have I save to a disk and those disks are in the photobox too. I told you it was disorganized. LOL!

I save all the photos I get either to scrapbook or put on my fridge. The whole front and one side of my fridge is family and friends pictures. People come over to visit and love to stand there and look at all the pictures. They are reminders everyday to me how lucky I am to have all the wonderful family and friends in my life.

I have pics of other peoples kids at my desk at work mainly. Other pics are in boxes at home or in photo albums. I never throw out photos unless it's a bad one taken of me, then the negative gets burned lol.

My friend gives me pics of her daughter. I save all of them in a little box. She commented to me that she was glad I kept them incase something ever happened to their house ex: fire, (We pray that never happens). It would be terrible to lose all your pics.

I save them. Also, the pics the kids made in art class, some of them are amazing (even for a 2nd grader!! *g) (the art teacher does studies on VanGogh and they did a great sunflower pic...) They are just the right size to tape on the inside of my kitchen cabinet doors - so they may get some outside time, but then when I need a change, they move inside, I absolutely love seeing my 19yr olds work from his elementary days...

I save them but the question is where? They are in a couple of different places along with thousands of other pictures. Ugh...I feel lazy about it, they need to be in albums or at least organized picture boxes, don't they? My sister is very organized with pics so we call her the picture keeper and when I'm 80, I'll go to her house to look at pictures!
