It feels good to be up and out of bed, but hard to get back into the swing of things, a week is a long time to lay around and watch TV and doze. My main problem now is tendinitis from too much remote control action!
Since I have not done one interesting thing all week, I’m showing something from before I got sick. Here is a page from the album I did about my mom and her mother. This is her dad, Adelbert. I love the name and am considering it for my next puppy. 
Grandma’s photo album that she started as a young girl is my basis for this album. I tried to use it as it was, but discovered, the more I worked with it, the more it crumbled. So, I had to reinforce all the pages. I took each page out, and glued varies craft and vintage papers to the old stuff, front and back. Then, with gel medium, I attached black ribbon along the binding edges to make them really strong before I punched holes in them to string the book back 
together with the original black shoe lace that Grandma used.
Older pictures and neutral colors are used in the front of the book, and as it goes along, the pictures become newer and the backgrounds brighter. But I still kept the colors muted, never too modern. Here are my sisters and I, and then a photo of my mom with me. (I am the one with the wings)
