Hi There!!! Do you believe it? I have time to do a post! My mama is doing well. We were able to get her placed in a rehab facility only 8 miles from my home, and she is working on getting her strength back so she can come home with me for a while before she goes back to her home. Thank you so much for your prayers and good thoughts on her/our behalf!!!
I finished this mini album a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had the time or opportunity to take the pictures or get them posted. It is another mini album that I made using Graphic 45's 'Olde Curiosity Shoppe' collection. I have found that I really enjoy designing the structure, or 'bones' of mini albums, and when I had the inspiration for this one, it seemed a good idea at the time, but as work progressed on it, it became more and more of a chore to complete. But I persevered and am so glad that I did because it turned out really beautiful!
There are a lot of pictures, but I want to show you each page, so let's do them first ...

I love this album!
LOVE your album! It turned out AWESOME!!!
I think I will try to re-create it, but, wondering what that inside photo area measures.
Did you use 8 1/2 x 11 or 12 x 12 cardstock, also.
Thanks for sharing!
