In person, this one's a little shimmery as</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some SU Shimmer Spray on the bubbles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the next two pages, since they</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were similar in "theme" to pages</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from Charlie's album, I decided to show</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Charlie's page and then Sam's similar theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, the photography for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Charlie's book wasn't good - I decided</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I should photo them all at the end</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and just did a quick down and dirty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to have them on file and didn't bother</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to take them out of the album :(</div>

I went a little bonkers on the </div>
<div align="center">
Christmas section of Sam's album</div>
<div align="center">
as I had a fun snowman themed</div>
<div align="center">
paper pad from Recollections</div>
<div align="center">
that needed little embellishment.</div>
<div align="center">
Mostly, I used the second of each of</div>
<div align="center">
the pages to cut out and 3-D the bigger </div>
<div align="center">
pieces. Only one Halloween page.</div>
<div align="center">
I added lots of micro-fine glitter to</div>
<div align="center">
the Christmas/Winter pages too!</div>

I'm wa-a-a-ay overdue.</div>
<div align="center">
I created a huge scrapbook album</div>
<div align="center">
for our grandson, Charlie after he turned one</div>
<div align="center">
that showcased his first year.</div>
<div align="center">
Sam will be two in August and I'm past</div>
<div align="center">
due in getting his album done.</div>
<div align="center">
It's a large project and hoping to</div>
<div align="center">
finish to give him when we go for </div>
<div align="center">
his birthday in August.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Trying to keep things on the simple side</div>
<div align="center">
as it's for a small child and while the scrapbook </div>
<div align="center">
pages with all the beautiful embellies are fabulous,</div>
<div align="center">
I feel that many are just art and are detracting</div>
<div align="center">
from the actual photo(s). Charlie really enjoys</div>
<div align="center">
pulling his out and looking at pictures of himself.</div>
<div align="center">
Hoping that Sam will be the same.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Anyway - here are a few of the pages</div>
<div align="center">
that I've finished so far. The papers & embellies,</div>
<div align="center">
etc. come from many different places so will not</div>
<div align="center">
detail each page.</div>
<div align="center">

Spent a few days in NYC (Brooklyn) over</div>
<div align="center">
Memorial Day for Charlie's 4th birthday.</div>
<div align="center">
Doesn't seem possible that he's already FOUR!</div>
<div align="center">
One of our days we went into the city</div>
<div align="center">
and took a fabulous walking tour</div>
<div align="center">
of the lower east side. </div>
<div align="center">
The other 6 people on our tour</div>
<div align="center">
didn't show, so we had our</div>
<div align="center">
own personalized tour with Dante.</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
We started out at Yonah Schimmel's</div>
<div align="center">
for knishes - they were delicious!</div>

They are similar to bagels, but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sweeter and have finely diced</div>

I totally forgot to post a couple</div>
<div align="center">
of photos from our fabulous</div>
<div align="center">
Panama Canal cruise!!!</div>
<div align="center">
For those who may be interested,</div>
<div align="center">
it was a fabulous cruise and I'd </div>
<div align="center">
recommend it highly.</div>
<div align="center">
We did the "in and out" version</div>
<div align="center">
and had planned on a shore excursion</div>
<div align="center">
on a smaller boat to take us thru to the</div>
<div align="center">
other side and get a different</div>
<div align="center">
perspective on going thru the canal,</div>
<div align="center">
but due to a mechanical problem with a ship</div>
<div align="center">
the day before, our tour boat's time slot</div>
<div align="center">
was bumped back and they had to cancel the tour.</div>
<div align="center">
Needless to say, we were totally bummed,</div>
<div align="center">
BUT - we did get thru the canal on one side</div>
<div align="center">
and it's amazing!!!!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We began our cruise in Ft. Lauderdale and</div>
<div align="center">
our first stop was Jamaica. Have to say</div>
<div align="center">
I didn't care for Jamaica years ago </div>
<div align="center">
when I went and this trip didn't change my opinion.</div>
<div align="center">
We stopped in Ocho Rios and climbed</div>
<div align="center">
Dunn's River Falls which was very cool,</div>
<div align="center">
but there are too many other beautiful </div>
<div align="center">
islands that I prefer to visit.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Ocho Rios, Jamaica</div>

<div align="center">
Lemon Grove, Ca.... wish I could</div>
