No, I don’t boycott my blog in the summer! I’ve been busy, busy, busy here in Texas. We arrived in Texas on 21 May. On the 23rd, Reino and I flew with my mom to visit my sister in Virginia. We drove with Brenda to Pennsylvania to visit my aunts and cousins. On the way there, we stopped in West Virginia to meet Leslie! We had a great time meeting her and Elizabeth.

While in Virginia, my niece Stephanie and I made a flip flop album. This was the first attempt for both of us and while we did have some difficult moments, we are both pleased with the results. I’m definitely going to make more of these.

Stephanie working on the flip flop album cover.

The completed cover. She will write the title of her album once she decides on the pictures.

The back of the closed album. We put the ribbon on it to tie it closed because this is a prototype :). We will do some things differently in later albums, but this one needed a little more support to keep it together.

These are the pages I made. The two green polka dot ones are for pictures.

Stephanie made these pages, including the cover.
