Made a paper bag book for a family Thanksgiving Day reunion using old photos of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins & me!
Family at the reunion bring little items to bid on in a silent auction to collect money to maintain the family gravesites. Since I don't live in the same state as the family, I made this early & sent it as my contribution to the auction. I made a few pages using just digital scrapbooking (FUN!), but the rest I used SU stamps and embellishments. I have lots of pull outs and a page in which a fold-out opens to show 3 more photos. My little tag at the end shows me at 2 years old.

What a treasure! I can't imagine letting this labor of love go after all you put into it. It will be the hit of the auction. Please let us know what it brings.
Turns out there was a bit of a snow storm in PA on Thanksgiving so apparently some relatives decided not to venture out to the reunion. A few of my aunts were there and they spent the time identifying everyone in the pics. My mother bought a bunch of tickets and dropped them into the bidding bag and ended up winning the mini-album. She gave it to my niece who had been admiring it the night before. So it's still in the immediate family!
