a summer book.

Summer
It really couldn't feel less like summer around here. But I know it will. It will. It will. I cannot wait.

I started this book as a summer project similar to what I made in Fall 07. It is part of my plan to a) enjoy this summer because I seem to have waited for it forever and b) to PRINT MORE PHOTOS. I take a lot of pictures, but I never seem to get them printed. It is a goal of mine to print more. And now, between this book, the engagement book and my 24 to-do list, it seems like I will have a place to collect all my printed photos.

I am in the process of finishing kits for making your own little summer book if you are interested. The kits will include a mini file folder, a printed cover, journaling cards, pretty labels, and a few pretty papers. Fingers crossed they will be up tonight after the mail comes with my last print order. If not, they will be listed on Saturday. I will keep you posted.

    Your mini books are so inspiring. I’ve been trying to come up with gift ideas for friends graduating and this type of book is perfect!
