Great layouts every one!

Judi...you are bringing back great memories of Bronner's...and Frankenmuth in general. Always so much fun to go there on a Sunday for a chicken dinner and to shop the area stores.

Julie, those are beautiful layouts and pictures.

I got the 2011 LOs done for my 'Christmas Book'. I do 2-4 pages for each Christmas in a dedicated book. It was the first book I ever did (1996) and I have kept doing it. It is such a fun way to watch the kids grow up and see the changes in the family.

Very cute LOs Judi. Looks like everyone had a fun time,

[Paula]

Nice layout!! I like how you placed the photos to make the outfit pop!

[Laurie]

Great layout...and what a great idea to have just a Christmas book.

In Sept. 1996 a gal that worked for me invited me to a CM party and she told me to bring Ginny, who was a senior in college. I felt sort of obligated, so I told
Ginny not to get too excited, I didn't want to spend a bunch of money. famous last words! I started trying to sort years of pictures-overwhelming. Finally as I sorted it occurred to me that I could pull out a few pictures of each Christmas and do a book of just them. I got it done-to date- by Christmas and took it to the big family Christmas party at my in-laws. Throughout the day I noticed everyone singles-to whole family groups at a time looking through that book and reminiscing. At the end of the evening my father-in-law handed me a roll of film. He said he had noticed that some years I didn't have pictures of everyone, so he had made sure he got everyone in the roll of pics he took that day. Thousands of pictures and thousands of dollars later here we are.

I love them!!

A Disney holiday sounds wonderful, Julie. I've never tried it, but your LOs make it look tempting.

Judi, your Christmas LOs are adorable. What a great idea to keep them together in one album. I may just run with that idea. I have so many Christmas photos of the grands and they need a home. And I could join in the challenge, too!

I did it! I'm pretty surprised. I don't have this years Christmas photos, but found that I had not done these from 2009! Cosmo Cricket papers and a sketch from Double Time class I took at Big Picture with Jennifer.
