I was wondering if you leave them up and just add more or if you swap them out for more recent ones. I have so many pictures of my kids up it looks like I just pasted my photo album on the wall. I love my kids baby picture but there are just to many now. Oh how to choose. Am I the only one who doesnt like taking them down ?

Hi, I've only really got photos in my bedroom apart from one of my old cat and two of my daughter - which are recent! I like getting the old photos now and again and it does remind me of how she's grown up!

You know I havent put any in my room yet, that would clear up a lot of space.

I have thought about scrspbooking but I have so many other projects that I havent been able to finish, perhaps when my kid are a little older.

I do both. I swap out their school & holiday (Santa, Easter bunny) pictures. I have some pictures that I don't change. Like my oldest childs Kindergarten graduation picture, father daughter dance.

I have a small house so I change the photos every year. When new photos are taken I put them in the frames. I keep all the pictures of course, I just can't have them all on the walls.

I have always "added to" but was actually thinking of changing my system as I've now added 5 grandchildren and put the most resent up and move the older pictures to an album. Right now one whole wall of my dinningroom is covered in pictures.

All of my walls and shelfs have pics all over them and it is getting realy hard to see them all but I like them there so I have a hard time taking them down, what to do, what to do ? Guess I will have to decide soon :-(

I have not yet been faced with this particular delimma. I guess when it happens I will have to swap pictures out since we do not have all the space in the world. It is going to be a hard decision to make about which pictures can stay and which will be added to albums or scrapbooks!
