I know the feeling....I have so much to do and I have done so much research over the years! The internet has helped so much, I guess that is why I was so excited to see your new kit because now I can make the pages look like the ged forms that I have bought in the past. I am thrilled and can't wait for your add on!

Then I get to start on our own pre-digital photos.

Sharon Lyn no viruses here I have a wonderful antivirus checker called Lynnette who does a clean sweep for me once a week

I've been working hard designing all weekend trying to get in front of challenges ready to head off on holiday to Fiji...so looking forward to some warm or hot weather over there.

We did have a minor disaster averted when I discovered the ceiling in our walk-in-wardrobe had dropped an inch and had leaked water on to all my clothes hanging beneath it, the builder came around an hour later and fixed the roof tile that had moved and gor the built up water out of the ceiling...now I have loads of clothes and shoes, sooo many shoes, cluttering up the spare bedroom until the ceiling is fixed while we're away.

**Erica** · 07-15-2012, 01:20 AM

Julia, when can you start on mine

**Lauren** · 07-15-2012, 01:33 AM

**Lauren** · 07-15-2012, 01:34 AM

Hi there everyone, this thread is a great idea!! We have had the granddaughters for the weekend, so, even though I noticed this thread earlier, I didnt have time to post. I'm here now (on page 2

).
Of course you will have to make Hannah a new album to take home, Ma...she is probably expecting one

I have so many of my mothers family to scan (boxes actually) but nothing on my parents. Both my parents died in the nineties and the steps refused to give us kids anything! so we have to rely on the aunts! I think I have maybe five pics of my mom and three of my dad. Really sad!
