SB: I just finished a gift book

[chessie]

And I had so much fun putting it together. My cousin came to visit me last month from out of state. We usually get together about once a year. I emailed him and told him I would get the kids together and we would all go out to the rainforest cafe for dinner. When I met him at my mom's house he was warring a safari shirt and a safari hat. ( He gets into things.) When I saw him, I knew I would definitely be scrapping the event, but I wasn't quite sure how. I took more then a roll of film throughout the evening. I had every one posing for some really fun shots. He also sent me his doubles. It turned out to be a 40 pages 6X8 book. I turned it so that it flipped up rather then open the regular way. The storyline was my cousin leading a safari to save the rainforest. While I was writing the story, using the pictures as my inspiration, there were times I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. I think I will have the album cover embossed with the story title and the date and maybe my name on the back. I wish I could be there it see his face when he opens it. I just know he will get a really big kick out of it.
