SUNSHINE ALBUMS FOR CHILDREN

I read this on Ali Edward's blog last week...
called Sunshine Albums for Children.
Here's a bit of info: "The Sunshine Albums Project is a wonderful opportunity
to create an album for a child who is in the hospital facing illness.
Many of the children in hospitals are there for cancer treatment.
The albums are a way for the children and their families
to document their journeys to wellness.
What they are looking for are photo and journal ready mini books
no smaller than 4x4 and no larger than 8x8.
You can read more about it and how to donate on Deb's blog."

Each year I try to find a project that will help someone else or
put a smile inside a person who needs one.
(Last year it was knitting bandages for lepers).

~~~~~~~

So I decided to embrace this album project
and spread the word to others.

~~~~~~~

This is my Before picture of my first album.
Work table cleared...
album & supplies ready to be transformed.

I chose a pink & white checked 6X6 album
and
K & Company paper and embellishments.

This album is for a girl and it will be cheery,
happy, and with a bit of bling!

All of these materials I had at home...
nothing had to be purchased
~~~~~~~~

I'll share the finished album in a few days.

Off to begin!!

Join me...
