Another week has flown by. I'm still working on organizing all my photos. I found more portraits for the family book and more old photos. I also found a comment on a message board that led me to start a free family tree on Ancestry.com. I can really get lost hours on that site. Being on the ancestry site made me think about all the old photos that I have and what I should do with them. I think I found a solution. :) I have an old photo album that I gave my mom years ago. It holds 200 4x6 photos. Since the old photos are not 4x6 I decided to do this:
UPDATE: Last week I did the coloring book for my great niece. She really liked painting the images with watercolor paints and pencils.
I had cut a bunch of scraps into squares and rectangles and she used them to decorate the covers for her book.
Have a great week!
