Am I the only one who is taking forever to do her album?

How long did you take to pick out your pics for your albums?

I feel like such a total slacker. I've had my proofs back since August, and its now November ... and I still have not even begun to select my pics for our album (nor have our mom's selected pics for their albums!)

Don't get me wrong -- I really WANT my album! I loved my proofs. But I just feel like I cannot focus on picking the BEST ones out and trying to telling a story with them, etc.. I am really bad at that and don't know where to begin.

Meanwhile, my video will be delayed until I have my proofs selected and have songs to provide them with.. and I'm dying to see my video already

Is anyone else taking this long, or am I just lazy? (ok I know I'm lazy, just hoping that I'm not the ONLY one)

We also got married in April and I still have not finish selecting all my pics. At this rate, I will never get an album back.

I am waiting for DH to have the time to sit down with me. I am going to give him until Thanksgiving and then I will tell him that I am doing it on my own.

I'll have to be the odd one out, we picked and ordered within 3 weeks!

I still haven't even ordered my Thank you pic yet (I have to email Nicole with the number)! I gave my MIL the proofs so she can pick her pics for the album bc I didn't feel like dealing with them. I went over there yesterday and she had all the proofs in like 30 different piles all over her dining room table. That made me feel even more overwhelmed!

Hi there 'DATE TWIN' don't feel bad we just went this w/e and did our album! We were there for 5 hours and spent more $$! But what was great is when we left we got to take home our video which I have watched 3 times already! I am sure what ever you pick will be beautiful. What took us the longest was having his 'PARENTS' pick there pica. Now I have to wait about 6 months to see the album all together! Enjoy!

I haven't picked mine yet. But that's more because I don't like my proofs. I only have to pick 30 or so, and I don't think I'll find 30 that I like.

I am in exactly the same boat -- not happy with any of my proofs. We finally picked the thank you yesterday - More like the lesser of all the evils!

I had mom make a list of what she liked of the proofs, and had my sis did the same. I will have DH do that, and then I will, and whatever comes in 4 lists will go into the album...and we'll take it from there. We only got about 250 proofs too, and get 30 in the album. My photog. sucked.

It took me 9+ months to put my album together! I will probably get it in February.

We finally just picked out our pics the other day but that's only because our photographer gave us a deadline otherwise they would probably be sitting on my coffee table still. Also we finally picked up our thank-you cards but they have now taken a spot on the coffee table waiting to be filled out. I am a procrastinating queen!
