*This is a guest post*

As the holidays get closer I have been busy shopping, wrapping, cleaning and organizing.  I am on a mission to remove the unnecessary clutter from our house.  A lot of this clutter is made up of old toys, old clothing and even old home movies (not to mention my awesome collection of 80’s movies on VHS).

While cleaning out my desk I stumbled across at least 10 camcorder tapes of the kids from Christmas’ past.  I would love to convert my 8mm film to dvd so that the kids have all of these memories in a useful format when they get older.

I have been looking online for different companies that offer video conversion and for a reasonable cost and I was actually surprised by what I found and that I could do this and I wouldn’t go broke doing it!

Once I stumbled on this service, I learned that they offered other formats of video conversion as well and got really excited!  I also have a lot of home videos on VHS that I would love to convert as well!

Knowing that I can convert these memories and bring them back to life makes me giddy!

To think I can embarrass Zack down the road showing footage of his first birthday, the Libby putting on a show, and then there are the memories of our first Christmas with the Alex.  I even found a tape labeled Zack’s first Christmas!

I am going to continue to round up all of our home movies and get ready to ship them out so they can all be converted at once.  I hope the kids will enjoy this gift when they receive it somewhere down the road!  Either way I know just having them will mean A LOT to me!

Do you have old home movies that you would like to convert?
