Christmas in July

     I really just like saying that, this post has nothing to do with Christmas. Unless you want to know how many days you have to make the perfect gift, in that case it's 170. 
     I have set a goal to make more time for myself to craft. We all have that one thing that we do that helps us to relax and ponder on the important things in our lives. That one thing that helps us sort out our thoughts and prioritize life again. Creating is that thing for me. 
     I love to have all my supplies in front of me all sorted out each in their own little stack and then after I have cut, trimmed, chalked, glued, pulled up then re-glued, I have my finished product that is actually something useful. Something I can use and appreciate for more than five-seconds. I used to like to vacuum, I would get a certain satisfaction from seeing all the nice clean lines in the carpet, then I had children. Those nice lines don't even last long enough for me to have the vacuum cleaner put away anymore before they are gone.  One of the things I have learned during my crafting and pondering time is, that the time with my children in the house, messing it up as fast as it is cleaned, seems to have gone by as fast as those vacuum lines on the carpet.
    Which in turn means, I need to craft more albums so I can have somewhere to put the pictures that document their younger days. See, I knew I could work this back around to a reason why I should have even more crafting time! 
     Thanks for sticking around long enough to read my wondering thoughts. Now here is a mini album I hope you enjoy even more. :) ~ Ericka 








This mini can hold 16- 4x4 photos on the water fall page and can hold an additional four more photos on the pull out tags. It ties together on the side with matching ribbon from the tags.
