Graduation Album - The Final Book

This year I created my tenth and final graduation book for my nieces and nephews.  I started this when the oldest graduated A LONG TIME AGO.  I still remember his - it was huge.  I printed off tons and tons of photos from the course of his life; I made everyone create their own scrapbook page and write a letter to him on that page; I incorporated the words of a song throughout the pages.  Wow.  Each year the books got a little more defined until about number 7 when I changed them to instead reflect family.  I searched for photos with the graduate and family members through the years.  This, I felt, made it more personal.  I also had to resort to allowing the family to e-mail or message me their letters in order to make sure I received them all.




This years book is not quite done.  With it being the final book it has taken a little more prompting to get the family letters and I'm still waiting on a few.  I refuse to give the book as a gift without it being complete so I'll wait for those to arrive before I put the finishing touches on it and send it! 

I'm not sure what I'll do for my boys when they graduate -- I might have to get creative :-)
