One of my co-workers is retiring at the end of this month, and each of us is doing a scrapbook page with our picture and some thoughts/memories/well wishes. It is an 8x8 book and one of the girls got this super cool printer on Amazon
Jimmy loves fishing, hunting, the lake, and being outdoors. I wrote my memories on little tabs sticking out of the pocket where my picture is - I added flowers to each one because he would expect nothing less from me - lol - and to keep them from going too far into the pocket.
He has been at our company for 36 years - starting when he was 19. He is still young and plans to start his own business after a few months of fishing and hunting and not having to go to work.

How FABULOUS, Nancy, and how thoughtful of you all! Your page is so full of wonderful details and started with that wonderful plaid background (always a favorite with me!). Love the Adirondack chair, oars, the rope signage, the "cabin arrow"...it's all so marvelous and such perfect choices for retirement on the lake!

Oh, Nancy!!! This is fabulous and such a work of art (and heart)! I love your photo and think that printer is amazing. But your page will be the best and will truly touch his heart when he reads all the wonderful little notes you've added to this page. It's an amazing inspiration card, and what a beautiful arrangement with all the perfect elements that mean so much to him (and you) and how he is now going to enjoy some fun and then start his own business. Doesn't get much better than that! I love it sweet friend, and I love your heart!! Hugs and love! xoxo
