Grandma's FAMILY book

I betcha...that most of you look at your photos and then look at your stash to see what can be used to create your album....

Well this album was done opposite...I had this paper, and (probably soon to retire)....so, I wanted to make a scrapbook...had the book and the cardstock...and decorative papers.

I then had to look at all the photos I take to see what I could do with the papers....

LOL

backwards, right???

Well.......I thought it would be nice to get a little jump on my Christmas gifts...

My mom doesn't have a book yet of all the kids. I have been taking photos of my nephews for a time..and so, now I thought, it would be good to get the boys all together in 1 album. I made my mom an album with photos from our trip to Orlando, but this time, I would just do it of the family....

I had taken pictures of the boys at various event, and my brother's step son..which is part of the family...they will soon be getting a sister, since they're trying to adopt from China.

I like the albums in the magazines, although they look cluttered sometimes, they have a sense of scattered controlled chaos...which is often times, how my nephews are...controlled chaos...

Each boy has their own individuality..and they shine in their own way...

I have these pages almost done, and the rest will be done this coming weekend. I want to have it done before I leave for Convention, but I thought I would share what I had completed already,...



My sister in law...

we went to eat breakfast, and so I snapped a couple of shots of her...did I get my brother...her husband??? NO!..so I have to still get some of him......
