My sissy is coming with her four kids and all of their families, so I created 5 books for them. All are pretty simple, and ready to add photos of the weekend to. I foofed only a few pages in each book, with pockets, and other little touches. When you use this paper, its so cool, you don't want to do too much to it.
Its great as is.
The tag on the page in the photo is only glued down on 2 sides, so it is a pocket to slip ticket stubs or other mementos into.
Now, I am wishing I'd made one for myself too….
Today, I am doing last minute spot cleaning to be ready for everyone. The yard is cleaned up, floors are mopped, laundry is done.
The bonfire pit is being cleaned out and a fresh load of logs will be laid out and ready for the campers. Yep, we'll have a tent city in the yard, at least 4 or 5 tents will be set up for the party. Looks like the weather will hold too, we got lucky. Now, I just need to get to the grocery store and getting chopping and dicing and cooking to have the house filled with food and treats when they arrive.
I can't wait!
There are wonderful — love the pocket/tag! And everything looks beautiful. What a grand time you’ll have!
