birthday album...

In my attempt to have this baby soon, I have been completing all sorts of projects...yesterday I finished E's 4th birthday album....
I constructed the album a month or so ago at the Hyden Retreat...it was based on Sharon's "House Album" class...but looks nothing like it....lol...so on Tuesday I printed off all the photos and made a few acetate pages to add variety ( thanks to Alli) and then yesterday I proceeded to put it all together. It really did not take all that long in the end. If you click on the image you shoudl be able to see it larger....

I cannot for the life of me remember what papers I used...when I do I shall edit this post! They are really nice!It is a great album as there are no scraps! Sharon bound hers but I just used rings. E took it to school for news today!

We are happy in this house that it is MANGO SEASON...Ben, E and I all love mangoes....hopefully my father in law will be sending some down from Broome soon! We would all eat several everyday if we could!

Ben has been busy painting and such at the old house in the mornings and fixing retic and pool heating here in the afternoons! He is only home for about 10 more days so I hope this baby does not hang on too long! E and I are nearly over our coughs and colds...maybe she is waiting for that!

Onto another project this afternoon...Christmas Stockings I think.....

I am now hoping not to have the baby until tomorrow afternoon...lol...E has the end of year assembly at school tomorrow morning so I would love to go! I hope your week is ending well - Lissy

I really love how your album turned out Lissy (and they are WeRMemory Keepers papers, but I don't know which line).
That mango looks nice and juicy!

The Album looks fantastic and yes nothing like mine - I love to see the way people take an idea and make it their own.
I hope you made it to the School concert this morning!
OK My money is on 6.45pm tomorrow night - anyone else about to place a bet?
