And We're Off!

...and on to page one (and two) of my First Mini Album.

Like I said earlier this week, my hope is to bring you a new page every day this week.

Then at the end...perhaps a small surprise???

So check back, tell me how I'm doing and hopefully,

come the end of this week, myself, my scrapbook room and my mini will have survived.

Thanks for taking the time.

my mini album,

Good Things Come In {Little} Albums

I am tackling my first mini album.

The subject? My niece, nephew(s) and a family friend's Summer Lemonade Stands.

{Flat Scan}

It all started a few years back... my sister, Season, and I wanted to get the kids out of the house... and, more importantly, out of our hair. A week into summer and we're hearing the 'I'm SO BORED, there's nothing to do' whine...I'm sure you know it. So we suggested that they open a lemonade stand.  Now there is something you should know about Sea & I (mainly 'I')...we, I mean I, tend to go a little overboard.  We couldn't just have a 'normal' lemonade stand, you know the kind were you buy frozen lemonade and sit the kids out front at a small table.  No, no, that just wouldn't do. We picked a date, made up a 'menu' of baked goods, bought and/or made some 'lemony' decorations and signs and baked (a lot). The day came, the sun shone, we made sure the kids looked ridiculously cute, sent them outside at 10am and hoped for the best.  They had line-ups, sold out of items, had 3 papers come to take their picture and brought in over $400 (after start up costs-not joking).  After that first year we started to let them have two- one in July and the other in August.  They get to split the profits from one and the other has to go to a charity of their choice.

I am hoping to have the whole album completed by the end of this week- posting a new 'page' every day. 

I hope you'll come back and take a peek!
