Homemade: Family photo album

It is so sad not have my family around me. Besides MamaD, I am a loner out in this vast desert wilderness. HubbyM's and my family are spread across the country and globe, from the isles of the South Pacific to those of the Orient. But I don't want that to stop Olive from knowing them.

To help her recognize the faces of those who love her most, I put together this little photo album for Olive.


All I did was purchase this cheap photo album from WalMart and made a new cover. 


Then I cropped and printed photos of family members, using file folder stickers to label each photo.

M, i've been meaning to do that for mayumi for the past 2 years. maybe you can just make two copis of yours as special easter presents for your two nieces? it is beautiful! i love the photos of mom and dad.

Yeah - I was kinda hoping you could make one for me - maybe for Lucy's birthday? This is actually really good to have something similar to this for a 72 hour kit for identification purposes in case a family member gets lost or separated and you can also have contact information printed on the back of the picture...
