Being expats we tend to move about and live in different houses so I thought I would make a mini book to document the ones we have lived in over the past 10 years. I sometimes get confused about which master bedroom was in which house and I think my memory won't improve with age, so this will keep me straight!! ;)
I chose the lyrics from the Beatles song 'There are places I remember' as the first page.
I used different sized pages and pockets with tags to take the extra photos.
This is really lovely.... so tell me, how many homes in total so far for the past 10 years ?
ReplyDeleteAnnette - it's gorgeous and such a great reminder! I love the clasp on the front of the book!!!!! Now have you dug those informal wedding piccies out yet? LOL Hope you are having a great day

As usual its beautiful and such a good idea too. I think my life is boring sometimes, my kids told me the other day that we couldn't sell our house now that they are all grown up and on their own, because then they wouldn't have 'home' to come home to any more. They were all born in and raised in our house. Just imagine all the junk. LOL My mom used to say she refuses to move out of her house, the second wife can pack all the junk when she is gone - Thats my excuse too, I don't even want to think about packing what I have accumalated over 30 years!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Annette, and love the tags inside pockets..like going through different rooms!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. My parents moved about loads (dad was Navy) This would be a great project for them....... will just need to find all the photos ;) you've used some fab PP there what is it please?
