Och Jean there's no end to my talents. You know looking into family history can lead to all sorts of interests- history, geography, prestidigitation :!:

What? You mean you don't know all the numbers off by heart yet??
You clearly need more practice! :lol:
Long number , wee number on the back and expiry date are etched on my brain - never have to look at the dashed thing! (& I'm not usually very good with numbers either...... :roll: )

Mind you, you get some credit for that big word Mallog (not SP credit tho') Best wishes

Och Lesley :lol:

There was me thinking that I was the only one who could remember all the numbers :shock:

I got fed up with sneaking the card into the pocket and then returning it at a later date.

Instead I wrote it all down on a piece of paper which I hid under the scanner :oops:

Then because I used it so much I threw away the piece of paper and the numbers are now etched in my head :wink:

Hi All,
Addicted isn't a word I would use - obsessed is a better one :lol:
Do you think it is an age thing? I hit my fifties and became obsessed with where I came from but my 24 year old son doesn't give a monkeys about his rellies :shock:

Hi David:
Thank you, Yes I make sure I get archival quality sleeves, I've been a big fan of creative memories for a few years now!! Ive lost so many great photos to both those horrid old static photo albums and a nasty house fire. The photos and documents Ive managed to collect are too precious!!

Regards,
Karen
Make it a great day!

Hi Karen,

I've also been using Creative Memories for years now. I was happy when they finally came out with a 14 inch album that was long enough to hold all of my Scottish birth, death and marriage certificates. Most of the American albums are only 8.5 X 11 inches.
