in review

I put this together over the last few days. It is a simple 4x6 mini album with the highlight photos from 2007. I had a huge stack of piles that need to go into a photo album, but I couldn't find an album that I liked and was tired of staring at the stack. So I came up with this alternative. Very simple.. all photos are double sided and most are stamped with the date. It is bound with book rings so I can always add more. I am going to go ahead and add file folder labels on some of the photos with the place or events. And I still need to date the cover too. I have over 100 photos in the book. So you want a book like this too for your photos? Post a comment and I will draw a winner on Friday
for your own copy! Later : )

I love your book.. it looks so easy to do.. and you make my SAHM job look easy.. a 5 year and twins.. holy moly! I though a 2 year old and 4 month old were a handful! You go girl!

Thanks for the "inspiration" .. I think I might do something similar to yours.. I am VERY behind with my boys album!
