Now, I'm digitizing everything! I'm scanning the paper copies onto my computer into similar folders and GETTING RID OF THE PAPER!!
Yipee!!!
I am a bit late on this message. But I too keep LOTS of pictures and patterns on my computer. It is so easy to find as I label and the computer list is in alpabetical order.
