Putting pages in albums...WWYD?

I've let go of needing my albums to be chronological. I used to be so rigid about doing things in order. Yesterday I was looking through a couple of albums and for the most part they are chronological but I found that layouts that were from years past were like a pleasant blast from the past. I liked seeing pictures from a few years ago and then one from 15 years ago.
You said that it's not important that they're in perfect order so I wouldn't make it a stressful and tedious sorting project. I would put on a movie and give some attention to sorting them but not too much.

This reminds me that I have quite a pile of homeless layouts and it's growing. I need to buy some albums.

I guess I wouldn't get too worked up about it either. Put them in albums and be done. Enjoy them however they are! If it's something that really needs to be in order, I would put it in it's own album.

here's what I would do... my opinion only, of course. If you switched from 8.5x11 to 12x12 at some point, is there any overlap where you were doing both types? if so, I'd put them all in 12x12 albums, sorting 'mostly' chronologically, and mix the page sizes together in mainly chronological order. If there is NO overlap between sizes, then I'd leave what's already done alone, and start new albums.

I scrap whatever / whenever I want, and put them in my albums *mostly* in chronological order, like within the same month/season. (and FYI, I use D-ring albums.)
If I find another layout that needs to go somewhere in between pages I've already put into my albums, then I just add page protectors in between, add the layout, and then there's just a couple half pages that won't have a back/front with them. That doesn't bother me. If it did bother me, I'd probably just add a piece of patterned paper to cover up the back of the layout pages next to it.

I don't separate my albums by year (i.e., our 2017 album, our 2016 album, etc.) but the layouts inside my albums are (mostly) in chronological order.  My albums are separated by topic:  Places we Go:  Southwest; Home & Family, etc. and the layouts in each of them are chronological, more or less.  I have done a couple big shuffling / organizing projects, and it's been a good way for me to see what topics I still need to scrap. 

I don't scrap chronologically either. My albums are split by subject - because it makes it easier when I want to pull them out for family gatherings, etc. Within the "kiddo's" (grandkid) album, the pages are, for the most part in order, but pages get added where ever then fall within the album. KWIM?

I think you'll do what makes you most happy about the 200, but I might suggest converting to 3-ring if you don't use them already. It takes all of this stress away but easily enough being able to insert pages. I don't scrap chrono either, but it does give me joy to see the progression over time of a chronological album.

I switched from 8.5x11 to 12x12 in 2000 too. For the most part I remember when I scrap older pictures, but not always.

I also don’t scrap chronologically either and many albums are a hot mess. I’m all three ring binders though, so I’m planning to get them resorted one of these days.

Me too! I don’t scrap chronologically but my albums are kept chronologically. 3 ring binders work best for me, but I agree that you should definitely do what makes you happy.

You're not kelleem anymore! What a difference a capital letter makes!  I put my pages in albums as chronologically as possible as soon as I finish them.

Do you have your layouts in page protectors?  Find some 3 ring albums and put them in.  I would come up with come kind of order or at least theme or year.
