Recently, my husband bought us a new scanner. It has the ability to quickly scan photos and papers at high quality, plus it organizes as it scans. Basically, this has saved me. Earlier in 2020 I bought a large inventory of recipes, but it was daunting to scan them. My previous method was on a traditional flat-bed scanner which would take 3 cards at a time. It was a tedious process that I sort of dreaded. With this new scanner, just last weekend I scanned a year’s worth of recipes. In an hour. The finishing process of naming and watermarking each file can now be broken down into small chunks to keep me moving rather than spending a full day scanning and finishing – and still not really making a dent in the volume. Sometimes having a hobby like this is almost a punishment lol. But now, WOW, I can add posts without much effort. Hopefully that means I will not miss a post for you. :-)
