Summer To Do List

Wow!  I can't believe it is already June!  Sorry for the lack of postings this week but life seems to be so busy right now and I haven't been feeling that well.  I must say that I have been so jealous of all of you posting about hanging out by the pool and playing in the sun.  We have had so much rain this Spring that it just doesn't feel like summer is coming!  But, I know the sun will eventually arrive and we will be ready!!

The boys and I sat down the other day and came up with our "Summer To Do" list.  There have been lots of fun versions of this project around blogland over the past couple of weeks and I thought that it was such a fabulous idea.  My mini-book holder was looking for a new book, so I knew exactly how I wanted to do with mine!

I covered some chipboard pages from an old book with scrapbook paper for the front and back covers.  It measures slightly larger than 6 x 6.  The paper for the entire album is from the Springtime collection by Echo Park {they also have a great Summer line that would look great!}.

Inside I have a couple of pages with the kids' list of activities that they would like to do.  I also left a little extra room to add notes.  The inner pages are all 6 x 6.

Then I made some pages up to add some of my favorite pictures from these activities.

A lot of the embellishments were added with pop dots so I can still slide the pictures in underneath them.

I will probably end up adding a few extras once the pictures are added but this gives me a good start.

Now we just need the sunshine!

My boys {both big and small!} are heading out for a boys' camping weekend tomorrow so I should have time to finish up all some of my half completed projects this weekend {and get caught up on some much needed rest!}  See you soon!
