So I’ve been trying to work on this book for Shannon’s niece for graduation.  His sister gave me a disc with about 150 photos of her and her best friend through the years, but most of them are recent. (thanks to digital photography).  Since they were on a disc there’s not a lot of info about the stories behind the photos.  The where, why and when stuff.  So I decided to take a different approach on the book and make it a quote book.  I surfed the main quote sites for stuff on friendship.  The old tried and true and incrediablly boring quotes by Aristole and Shakesphere and others that have been dead for centuries.  Actually there are a lot of great quotes out there but not really suitable for 17 yr old girls.  I decided to do another search yesterday and found quite the unexpected spot for great, age appropriate quotes - MySpace avatars and dohickeys that the kids put on their pages.  Now it’s really funny cuz one holiday Adrienne and I were looking at her Facebook page and talking about the different ones.  So I think that may help me some with the more current photos.  Now I’m still having issues with the design aspect of the pages, but hopefully that too will pass.  Here’s a few of the pages I did already.

 I loved Mary Fran’s Tattered Frannies and thought it was perfect for these photos.

 The majority of this page is from Birgit Kerr’s Well Worn, the film strip is by Joanne Brisbois and the background paper is Bren Boone.  The photos had a cooper treatment on them to begin with so I thought that this would be a great way to showcase them.

This was the first page I did and will be the last page in the book.  The photo speaks volumes about high school friendships.  Remember how you all swore that you’d be friends until the end of time……

Thanks to everyone for your comments yesterday about my new pet snakes.  We’re still trying to decide if we want to go with the cheaper treatment that most likely won’t be too effective in getting rid of them or the more expensive way.  There’s about a $60 difference in price so it’s a big decision.  And the posion oak is begining to get to me, it really itches.  I didn’t want to have to go see the Dr. for it but I just may have to.

Off to work.  Just a reminder, I can’t leave comments at work for blogger and some wordpress blogs.  I do make every attempt to read them and then when I get home go back and leave a message.  Just wanted you to know so you don’t think I’m ignoring you.  Have a great day all!

Here’s another group of papers that I’ve been playing around with that I thought I would go ahead and share.  It’s I got da blues.
