Forty-Seven.  Nope, not my age next month on birthday (although some days I feel like it), but the number of picture albums I have uploaded on my Facebook page.  Many of those albums have dozens, if not hundreds, of pictures.  Then there are the thousands of pictures stored on my computer’s hard drive that I was too lazy to share, not to mention those still waiting to be retrieved from my memory card. I think that qualifies me as a hoarder!

Like many of you, I am the family photographer, and the more pictures I take, the more addicted I become.  It’s literally almost a sickness!  I can’t help it; I love photography and am always pulling out one of my cameras!

However, I had a huge problem…what on earth was I going to do with all of those pictures I’ve taken?   My walls are full of framed prints and my bookshelves are bursting at the seams with albums and scrapbooks!  Other than stop taking pictures, which was not a viable option for me, I needed to find a practical solution!

Then I discovered Collage.com, a truly user-friendly site that allowed me to upload my favorite pictures in minutes and design a wonderful custom collage.  There are multiple sizes available and there are hundreds of designs and patterns, from family oriented or romantic, or even custom words, to help you make a lasting, beautiful piece of art that your family will treasure for years to come!

My 20×30 print features dozens of pictures of my entire family.  I chose the word “LOVE” because that’s what I feel when I look at all those smiling, beautiful faces!  Framing and mating options are available, but I chose to purchase my own frame separately (I thought theirs were a bit pricey, so I picked up a relatively inexpensive poster frame). Overall, I think it turned out fantastic!

I’ve used other photo printing sites, I’ve even designed a few collages, but none of them offer the wide variety of options, are as user friendly, or have such speedy upload times.  I uploaded from my Facebook albums and I was surprised at how quick and easy it was. Shipping took a bit longer than I expected, about 10 days (from the time I placed the order), but in the end it was worth the wait.

I’m already thinking about designs for my next collage.  I plan on making at least one more for my home, but I also want to stop being a hoarder and share some of the great photos I have collected over the years with my loved ones. Collage.com has beautiful shapes and patterns available that are perfect for gift giving, such as weddings or anniversaries.

I always take so many pictures when I travel, or of everyday things.  On my trip to Kissimmee last week, I took well over a thousand pictures – in just four days.  It’s nice to have a new way to display my favorites!
