...and another! This time, I finished a mini book! It's patriotic...

I made this book in Oregon... 
like ummm... three years ago?
We moved here (AZ) almost TWO YEARS ago!
Where, oh where, does the time go???
Well, I finally added the photos
most of which Kari most graciously supplied!
(her and I looked on her Walmart photo site...
picked out the BEST ones...
and she picked 'em up!)
The photos are from...
FOUR years ago!
So, friends... 
never, EVER give up!
This is one of those COOL books that open up and open up...
so you have several 'pages' that you can add photos!
The one above is the COVER.
Below is a closeup of that CUTE photo!
  The letter stickers are from various sticker 'sets' that I had on hand...
When you open the COVER...
this is what you see!
 Then, when you open the page above,
you go to TWO 'pages'...
I still have to add the names...
I didn't know how to spell a few of them...
and I'm picky about having things spelled correctly!

From the TWO,
it opens... BIG...
I don't have a photo of the whole book opened fully...
[sorry]
But here are bits and pieces...


The page above, opens AGAIN to the right...
to THIS (below)
...with pages on both sides..
The pages are like 'shutters' in-between the 'whole' ones!
Here (above) is the [shutter] pages to the right.
Below is a closeup of the photo 'goodies'
 I kept the embellies pretty FLAT.
Below is the photo behind the above [shutter] pages...
Then, we'll go back to the LEFT of the earlier center photo...

You wanna see a close-up of that BLUE mouth???
 Pretty funny, huh?
I LOVE my grandkids! LOL
Notice the [dirty] white stars?
I dropped the RED circle... it had VERY sticky glue on it.
Pre-glued... you know?
Well, it made a huge, terrible MESS right ON the photo!
So what to do???
I hand-cut the white starts!
ta-da!
Behind the [shutter] page you see to the RIGHT...

Next, is the last [shutter] page to the left of the one above...



 ...and last, but not least...
is the view behind the above extreme left [shutter] page!
 Pretty darn fun, huh?
Problem is...
now my daughter wants me to make ANOTHER one
like this...
to give to her friend HEATHER, 
that is in this book!
hmmmm...
thanks, you guys, for visiting!
love you all!
