My lovely sister-in-law Sue, has been with my brother Ian for 20 years, next month it is her 60th birthday so I am making her an album to mark the occasion, it is also my little brother Fraser's 40th bithday this month, so I am also going to make him. All us siblings, our mum and our children and Carrie my grand-daughter are having a family holiday the first week of June, half-term week in a big Georgian house which sleeps 18, there are up to 14 of us on various nights. on the Tuesday we will have a 40th party for my brother and on the Thursday, we will celebrate Sue's 60th. I will present them with their albums on these evenings.
These are the first 4 pages of Sue's album, (16 more to be made by 30th May!) apart from this first page, the pages uploaded are not in the order they will appear in the album, just in the order I have made them so far.
This is the title page of a 12" x 12" album I am making for sue, it has a Japanese theme as she has spent time travelling in Japan and had planned to live there for a year teaching English before my dad's failing health, so she never went back to live there.
