As most of you know we are moving next week... and in the process of packing I have discovered (again) what a pack rat I am!! I had stacks of magazines and bins full of my children's artwork and school papers and recipes galore. As much as I didn't want to pack all that stuff I also didn't want to just get rid of it! I wanted to keep the recipes in case I use them someday (hey, it could happen!). I knew there were good articles in those magazines... somewhere. And I am almost incapable of throwing away my children's lovely artwork... I'm a little on the sentimental side when it comes to those sorts of things!
And then, in the midst of my chaos, the Family Review Network introduced me to Scanalog! Scanalog is a magazine cataloguing system- all you have to do is scan your treasured magazine article, recipe, child's artwork into the Scanalog system on your computer and then you can tag it and organize it and voila! You can keep it forever, know where it is, be able to find it again, and all without the stacks and clutter and mess! Brilliant.
I found scanalog super easy to use. The user guide explained everything to me and even this technology challenged girl was able to figure it out :)
The program comes with several very handy categories that you can put your stuff into. You are also able to add subcategories of your own which is super handy. For example under the crafts category I could add "Aiden's artwork" or under the My Spirit category I could add "inspirational bible verses". It is wonderfully user friendly.
It is very easy to retrieve your stuff as well... no searching through random stacks of magazines for that one certain article you remember reading... somewhere! Now you just go into your scanalog and you can find it no problem. The scans are easy to read, you can look at them close up, you can print them out to share, the colours are bright, it is an all around wonderful program!

I would Scanalog to save my favorite recipes from magazines! Thank you and good luck on your move!
I am forever clipping recipes and decoration inspirations. These promptly go in a drawer...in no certain order. This would allow me to organize and declutter all in one step. I'd even gain a storage drawer back!
my old racing forms i use them for future reference
recipes, articles- and more that are folded back to look at and so disorganized

I have a family of 5 crammed into a 1200 sq. ft house, so closet space is tight..but I hate throwing away my oldest son's art work (he is in kindergarten)...so I would use it for that. I would also compile inspiring stories from magazines. Thanks!
I started to follow your blog, thanks. =)
I would scan and catalog recipes from magazines.
I would use this for my kids art work, my art work, recipes, and the mound of pictures and articles I have clipped out of magazines but never filed
I'd use this to clean out my files of all the bits and pieces on different items I've been saving (mostly on collectibles)
I could clear out a file drawyer by scanning my guarantees and directions.
I would use it to scan in exercise, stretching, and health articles.
My goodness, I'd love love to win this software. My magazine rack is overflowing and I'd love to get organized. It would get my creative juices flowing. Thanks so much for the giveaway!! --Michelle, blogattoday (&#$at] gmaildotcom
I would definitely use the Scanalog software. I have a son who has been drawing since birth. And, of course, I've saved everything so I can give it to him when he gets married (as if his new wife will want a stack of stuff sitting around.) This would let me scan all his drawings into one easily accessible place...Wonderful product.

important articles that i have cut out thanks for the giveaway
I would use it for my little one's creations and magazine clippings that I'd like to keep.
khmorgan_00 [at] yahoo [dot] com
I have a lot of magazines and ran out of storage space. It is time to cut out what I need and throw the rest out (so I can accumulate some more). It would also be nice to be able to have an index to the articles.
I would use the Scanalog to catalog all of my favorite room designs, recipes and knitting patterns. After 38 years of marriage, my husband has declared our home a fire hazard with my collection, and the kids..though they don't live here anymore, would like to just haul a dumpster to the house to get rid of my magazine clutter!
I'd mainly use it for receipes and mag. articles.

I'd scan recipes, magazine articles, or my favorite passages from books.
Oh my husband would be thrilled if I won this. He hates my piles of torn out articles. They start on the kitchen table and bathroom shelf, then they accumulate on the couch and dining room table. I have boxes and folders full of articles that I can never find when I need them. Not only will he be thrilled but so will I!

I'd use it to corrale the hundreds of recipes and health articles I have clipped and stashed all over the house. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com
What wouldn't I use it for? I have folders of crap everywhere. This would shock my grandkids - if I actually got organized and got rid of some clutter.
Christina - xristya@rock.com - For years I've clipped items from magazines and kept playbills from plays and musical concerts and art openings until my "folders" are overflowing! This would be a great way to organize everything and still keep memories of events I'd attended and loved and tips about all sorts of life-things!
I would use Scanalog to scan in all my favorite recipes from my cookbooks to keep them organized in one place. Thanks for the great giveaway!
This would serve a dual purpose: organization and donation. We have had some periodicals for so long we're not sure what article(s) inspired us to keep them! :)

I would use to scan and save recipes!
I love the food and wine section. My mom cuts out a lot of recipies for me. This would be nice for that and also to pass on to my Daughter.
JeannByrd@aol.com
I would use the parenting section to make a subcategory for each of my kids artwork
I'd be using this to organize job-search materials, as well as school-related items, misc documentation for esoteric electronic components, schematic diagrams, frequency charts -- Electrical Engineering stuff where a picture is only worth a thousand words if you can FIND IT easily.
Given my current focus on preparing for April 15th, my mind leans toward being able to capture all those hundreds of "itemizable" receipts so I can toggle through on-screen pages instead of digging through shoeboxes. And the ability to assign keywords to any given image, and then SORT through the entire collection based on keywords, THAT is awesomely useful. And think about it -- to be able to respond to an audit with "here's my CDRom of all my records." IRS, here we come!
My mother and I both have the habit of saving clippings and things get everywhere. So, this will be a good chance to get organized!!
strycker@slu.edu
I so need this for recipes! I have so many torn out of magazines and I have a stack of magazines with recipes in them that I would like to try. I would love to organize them and get rid of the paper. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
