So what does this mean? Well...here's how it works:
- First I have to cut all the articles down to size and scan any of them that are on the front and back page of the newspaper.
- Next I have to spray them down with acid-free spray to help preserve them and keep them from yellowing.
- Next I organize them so they are in order from Freshman to Senior year and by sport. This part definitely takes some time!
- The last part is actually putting them on the pages. This part is also time- consuming because I have to figure out the best way to get them all to fit in a visually pleasing way. Sometimes articles are really long or really wide and won't completely fit on the page. So I have to decide if I fold them over or cut them into pieces to fit...a long process sometimes!
But it will be one great keepsake when I'm done :) Her daughter is a super-star when it comes to sports...so these articles are very special to her. I'm glad I get to help her put them all together for her graduation :) And she will be able to look back years later and remember how awesome she was!
My goodness that looks like a ton of work! I can't imagine having to sort through someone else's stuff. It does look like she has a label on everything so that should help. Good luck, I am sure it will turn out super cute.
