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!

We have all our digital photos on our computer, and I do worry about what would happen if our computer went down. I would love to know they were backed up. We have pictures of all our vacations over the years, pictures of the kids growing up, their birthdays, school events, first day of school each year, Halloween, Christmas, etc. This is a wonderful giveaway! Thank you!

If I won this, I would most want to protect my scans of old family paper pics, as they continue to fade over time. Thanks!

I have (almost) lost so many pics off of now dead computers. I did manage to pull hard drives out and get most of them back, but what a pain. And if the hard drive is what goes, you are out of luck. So now I am backing up everything on an external hard drive, but then I have to go searching to sort pictures from documents and music, etc.
So what was the question again? Oh, yeah. The kids mostly. And my parents. They won’t be around forever – we have so few pictures of Hubby’s family and grandparents and all. I’d hate to lose them.

I’d love to back up pictures of my nine month old baby boy. Just a couple of months ago our laptop crashed with my favourite fall picture of him on it… Fortunately we recovered it, but it scared me! It would be nice to not worry about it or about the process of going in and saving each photo album.
Andreah
I would store all six years from birth until now of my children’s photos.

I would most want to preserve my photos of my husband and daughter. I love their daddy-daughter moments caught on film. I have one where she is all of week old and he is sitting on the couch reading to her some German children’s book.

Hey, doll!
I would add my future wedding photos for sure (June 7, 2009!) as well as my mother’s wedding photos.
