September Mini Book :)

I was super excited to receive this mini book in the kit. I've been stalking it because I love Jenni Bowlin, I love the shaped, I love the lined papers inside, and I love the cute small size!! I did use some of the papers inside for journaling and title blocks in some layouts, but I used the rest of it for a mini book---perfect for Grandparent's Day!!

I used small photos for this mini book, ack! I can't remember this size and I don't have it with me...sorry! This book was put together in less than 1 hour. I adhered the photos directly on the inside pages. Then I just dressed them up with flowers from my stash. I also had the kids write something on the opposite page...even our sweet 21 month old Joey :) I always give my parents something handmade--album, canvas, set of cards, etc... My mom is not a crafty type. It doesn't even seem she is very interested in what I do and the things I give her. True, she does display them in her home, but she never really talks about them...oh well..LOL! BUT---I was getting a receipt in her purse the other day and I saw the mini book in there!! My heart leaped with joy. She really appreciated this one and although it was a simple gift, I felt like it was the best one I've given. THANKS for everything Mom and Dad!!
