you can do it the "old fashioned" scrapbook way, or just collect it in a binder.

Exactly. Tape things into a spiral notebook and use the lines in any remaining spaces (or on the facing page) to write down why you like it or when you got or some story related to it. That's may favorite, and it only costs the price of a notebook, a roll of tape, and a writing implement.

Or you could use a three-ring notebook and paper. Then some of the larger items could be folded and put into pocket folders.

If you have a filing cabinet, you could make some file folders to store things. Or you could find a box with a lid to store things in. Or label some large envelopes, put things in the envelopes, and store the envelopes on a bookshelf, between books.

You can scrapbook fairly cheap by using construction paper and sheet protectors in a binder. Use a sheet of construction paper for the background. Then use scrap pieces for a 3-D effect behind the picture or memory item. You can use acid free pens or markers for journaling. It will add a special touch too versus buying stickers.

i have so many pictures and love to save everything. i use a binder that has sticky pages , and clear report covers , you can find them at wallmart. i put things that are too bulky or multiple sheets in 1 page, old 8x10 pics too.
