Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all!












Last night I finished the 2007 mini-book I had been working on. It was a mini-book that was a year in review. I tried to pick one or two things per month for the pics and then journaled on the library card. I included people we lost last year, with pics of them and put the date on the library card. I included the little things we did -went to the State Fair, went camping, etc.
I used a Grungeboard hinge thingy and a BG Magnet as a clasp on the cover to hold it shut and make sure the library cards don't slip out.


















You get the idea...
Frank and I each wrote how we felt about turning 40. Just stuff like that so next year when we open the book we can all say "Oh yeah-I remember that" kinda like when CNN does the Year in Pics Thing for the year or something.

I loved the pictures of your latest projects, you have really been putting out some beautiful stuff! Also, I have tried my best to figure out how to get that music thing on my blog, you're gonna have to teach me. I'm starting to fall into the group of those who are too lazy to update their blogs, LOL!
