A few weeks ago, I saw THIS post on the r house blog. Immediately I thought of Josh's cousin Garrett who just left on his mission to serve in Fiji.
I ordered the mini album from Close to My Heart.
(I really need to get better at taking before pictures. And during pictures.)
I love how small and compact it is, so when Garrett goes through transfers he will be able to fit it in his bag. I haven't attached any pictures yet. I've made the tags, but they aren't attached either.
Here it is all folded up.
This is the front. On the first panel I will attach the labels that say "the Hanke family". Then the other seven panels will have family pictures. His family, each set of grandparents, and then aunts & uncles on the other four panels.
The back panels have a pocket where we will each write him a message.
I'm hoping to see his mom this weekend so I can give it to her, so I probably won't have pictures of it after the family pictures are attached.
Savannah! WOW! You are seriously the best cousin ever, I saw this and it made me start to cry. Garrett is so lucky to have cousins like you who think of him. Blessings are everywhere we look. This is such a great idea. You are awesome. Thanks!
