hello & welcome aboard my mom's name is geri as well!
as for photo organization, mine are digitally categorized
in monthly folders (each year), but all the old printed ones
are in photo boxes that have divided cards which works.
"a heart in love with beauty never grows old" (turkish proverb)
I agree with the photo boxes if you are trying to organize your photos. Once you start getting organized than you may (or may not) find something else that works better for your storage/organizing needs!
Good luck and I look forward to seeing your layouts!
Wish I could give you advice on organizing pictures - but mine are mainly digital. I have those seperated by child/year/sub category (eg. places - and then broken into zoo, park, etc) or family/year/sub category.

1) Rebel. Refuse to accept the idea that creativity is work.
2) Play. Think like a child.
3) Zone. Tune out negative vibes.
4) Feel. Open your heart, nurture your imagination.
Before digital, I used CM's Power Sort Boxes. I love that you can just take one little section out at a time & work on those photos. And I use them for my negatives. But now I upload onto the computer & they stay there until I print or order a batch to scrap.
