I'm horrible at hoarding magazine articles, magazines, newspaper articles, computer files, pictures, you name it.

I do go through the computer files once in a while and trim them down.

With the magazine articles and newspaper articles, I file them in large binders. I call them my idea books. This way if I ever have an inclination to write about a particular topic, I already have sources available.

As for the pictures. I'm just lost. One thing that my husband did for me was set me up with a photo gallery on my web server. This way I can upload all the photos I want from my digital camera and store them in folders and file them with key words for searches later. That's made it so much easier. Now I just need to get a handle on the rest of my photos lying around the house.
