Good for you. I just spoke to my son last night about all my designs.
He is going to copy them (for back up) for me when I am on holiday next week.
I also used to print pictures, but now try to keep a picture in the design file.

Well done, please come and do mine, I have many years of designs, and I try once in a while to organize, but I haven't gotten very far.
You are smart to do this as I lost many designs to a computer thief and then again to a dying laptop. I was able to recover some designs from the dying laptop by paying a guy $80 to retrieve them for me. Again, smart of you.
I am actually doing almost the same thing.I didn't print the photos, but saved the color chart or pdf files, when available.I am putting them on CDs. I copy 2 of each CD, 1 ,I save for a back-up and the other I will use.First- I CHECK that they burned correctly, and then I delete them off my computor.My pc was getting sluggish, so I knew it was time, couldn't put it off any longer.It is helping the speed again but I am not nearly through.Go ahead and pat yourself and maybe b/4 too long I can too.Hugs_Toogie
GREAT job - how about some picture of all these together ... sitting on the shelve or table that you keep them on?
congrats. I know what a job that is. I have 10 3inch binders full and starting on another. Not to mention the ones I got when I first started in 2002 and didn't print out pictures. Trying to keep up with all the patterns is a real job. I'm sure I'll never use them all but they were all must haves. I'm sure you all know how that is. giggle giggle
well done i know what amighty effort this has been ....soozie
