SCRAP BOOKING ----MEMORIES PHOTOS --

I have told you in recent posts of the book my husband wrote of his -Memoirs -,

" A SMALL BOY FROM ITALY "

As the book only had 200 photos in it ,and they were black and white,I decided to photocopy the
stories, but then add the 1000's of photos we have to it

By adding colour paper and sayings etc. l find it so personal, and l can't think of a word,

maybe colourful and alive !

So these 3 books will be packed (as l haven't finished yet ) and some of my 1000's of photos will be organized and safe. What a lot of time, as sometimes I can spend an hour on 1 page.

So these 3 unfinished book l gave him for Christmas, and he loved them.

Here are some of the finished pages.
