Busy Bee

I cannot believe it's been months since my last post... I have been quite busy with family-related events, so I am hoping to catch up a bit before Christmas comes.

I decided to make Jeff a decoration for his desk at work, because he had mentioned to me that he didnt have any recent pictures of our son. I made this for him a week before his birthday, and he loved it:

Thankful

I finally made time to use the "Triple Play" kit that I bought back in August. I bought two of them, but only had time to make 1. I decided to make some mini-albums for Jeff's parents and grandma, since we'll be seeing them on thanksgiving. I didnt have much time to make these as pretty as I would have liked, but I think they came out pretty good..
