After a successful endeavor with my summer scrapbook I think I caught the bug! I really enjoyed making this one and I feel like I'm picking up a style. I have to say that I love framing almost every photo with paper. I've stuck some in there without a paper frame and I like how they look in certain places. For the most part, though, I really like the look of a border around the pictures.
One thing I was disappointed in, though, was the quality of my photos. I thought these ones were a little lower quality than my summer pictures. I'm not sure why. And I've got about 500 extra! We can thank Walmart for that one (insert eye roll).
After I finished up my Summer 2017 *LINK* scrapbook, I went to the Walmart photo site to order my next set of prints. I debated between just fall or fall and winter combined, but settled on getting both. If it turned out to be too many then I could just save them for the next album.
Anyway, I ordered the pictures and waited for the message that they had arrived. Well, two weeks went by and I never got the message. I had signed up to receive a text but the text never came. The next time I was at Walmart shopping I stopped by the photo department and asked about my photos. As fate would have it, the pictures had arrived on inventory day. So the system recorded them as arriving at the store but not arriving in the photo department.
The woman who helped me was kind and courteous and she called the main Walmart photo center. They cancelled my credit card payment and asked me to re-order online. Easy, right? Well, no. When I reordered I wasn't sure how many pictures were in the original order. I assumed the site would save my exact order so I simply clicked "reorder".
For some strange reason the order had been saved with doubles of every picture. It also included the pictures that I had originally discarded. I'm not sure what happened. My husband said I should have asked for a refund. But I was the one who ordered them. I should have reviewed it more thoroughly. So I paid double for pictures I didn't want that didn't come on time. Go figure.
In addition to that all the pictures arrived out of order!
After organizing my stash, I started in on a project that I grew to love. All-in-all it took me a few months to complete, working on it sporadically. It gave my hands and shoulder-blade-crochet-knot a break for a bit.
I'm going to order prints for Spring and Summer 2018 once fall rolls around. In the meantime I may scrapbook some old photos I found or start in on my new yarn stash. We shall see!
