FWF & organizing....still

Hi everyone! It's FRIDAY again!
I was all set to make a card for FWF until I realized I'm watching my great niece today. She'll be here till some time tomorrow. That is if the snow doesn't cancel everything. Anyway, she loves to paint birdhouses but I forgot to get one. So, I did the next best thing. I made her a bunch of coloring pages using my Unity stamps. I stamped them all with StazOn so she can watercolor them if she wants.
When she's done coloring the images I'll add a cover and back in the color of her choice and put the pages onto rings.I think she'll have fun with this.
This second photo is what I've been working on for weeks now. The boxes are full pictures that I'm trying to get together and sort through. Most of them are done. The book with the pictures of my niece is another organizing project. I collected all the school & portrait pics I could find of each of my family members. I inherited lots of pics from my Mom. They are all put together in this binder. I mounted them all on white card-stock and put them in page protectors. No patterned paper, embellies. Nothing but photos. I might eventually add some patterned papers. It would use up LOTS of scraps. But it's ok for now. The other open album and the closed one are the school books for my kids. I thought my son's was almost done until I found more pics in those boxes. 
Don't forget to check out the Unity blog for the FWF, new releases, and a SALE!
