The holidays are over, and if you’re anything like me you’ve probably got dozens, if not hundreds, of digital photos stored on your computer right now. If you’re also like me, you probably worry from time to time about losing them. Backing them up to CDs can be time consuming and tedious with much of the software I’ve tried.
So I was thrilled when Picture Keeper sent me their little gadget to try. It’s a fantastically simple way to safeguard irreplaceable digital photos. You just plug the little USB device into your computer, and it does all the work for you. It finds all of the pictures stored on your computer and saves them safely to the device. The next time you plug it in, it only pulls in new photos so you never had to worry about duplicates! You can even schedule back up reminders on their site, which this busy mom definitely needs.
The Picture Keeper comes in two sizes, 4GB which holds 4,000 pictures and 8GB which holds 8,000 pictures. If you’re not sure which size you would need to store your photos, check out their tutorial.
Through January Picture Keeper is offering readers $15 off with the code DealForMoms. This makes the 4GB Picture Keeper only $25! I think that’s a price well worth the peace of mind that comes from knowing my photos are secure outside of my computer (assuming one of the kiddos doesn’t run off with the device, LOL).
Better yet, Picture Keeper has graciously given me an 8GB Picture Keeper to give away to one lucky Deal Seeking Mom Reader. I love it when companies let me share these fabulous products with you all!

I really need this. I’ve got a load of digital pictures on my computer and am running out of space. I’ve got some really old ancestral pictures that I especially would like to store on this.
Shawnna
We take PLENTY of pics at all family gatherings. I’ve also scanned some older ones to e-mail. This would make it a LOT easier to transfer to realtives’ computers who do not have high-speed

I have tons of great photos to back up. I recently lost 100’s of pretty important photos to a computer crash. Mostly digital copies of my wedding. At least I still have most of the physicals left to scan and save but there are definitely some I’ll miss. Thanks for this great contest!

I subscribe to your email, and would absolutely love to win this picture keeper!
I lost 5 months of pictures last year when a scan disc in my camera went bad. It was brand new, but something happened and everything from February until July when my son was 2 years old is gone. I was devistated and now make multiple copies of all pictures ASAP. I would love this item and I would surely give it alot of use!!

I would love to have this picture keeper. It sounds so much easier than copying to CD’s which is my present method. I have many pictures that are not backed up and I would hate to lose them.

The Picture Keeper is my genealogy storage solution! I have made some breakthroughs in my genealogy research this holiday season. This includes finding some new cousins and they have shared 100 yo pictures of MY family. I do not have originals, the originals have already degraded and it is important that some sort of digital copy be kept so these 100 year old memories won’t be lost. What a perfect way to insure an organized, dependable method for these family memories. They could even be stored in a fire safe box easily!

How wonderful!!!!
