Finally, I got the album photographed and uploaded. Yeah for me.
I'll caption tomorrow so you know what you are looking at.
Thank you for stopping by.

| Cover of accordion book. I painted the kraft paper pages with 2 coats of acrylic. |
 |
| Page 1.Waiting for the bus, the preppy look. |
 |
| Page 2. Today DJ has spiked hair and new sneakers. |
 |
| Page 4. Upper right, coming home the first day. I was waiting on the porch to hear all about it. |
 |
| Page 5 and 4 show his desk (that was his Dad's many years ago) and all the work he brought home through the year. |
 |
| Page 6 and 7 show some of DJ's projects. His Dad and I helped him with the turkey- made in part with corrugated cardboard. |
 |
| Dad and DJ at my house working on the 100th day of school idea. Dad worked, DJ had ideas- lots of ideas, most not related to 100 anything. |
 |
| Page 8 and 9. DJ's class went to a local state park with a small zoo. His Dad was a helping parent. |
 |
| These pages are about his classroom last year. I volunteered on Thursday mornings, cutting pasting, listening to the kids read, helping with printing skills. |
 |
| Many of these pictures are from the last day of school. The kids were so eager to play with everything one more time. Shortly after I left, they boarded the buses for home. |
 |
Last page of book. I created a pocket to hold extra snaps. Hope he looks through the book now and again. I had fun creating it using primary colors, stickers, rubber stamps and paper collected over the years.
Thanks for stopping by to see the finished project. |

It looks so colorful and cute! Congrats on finishing it. I hope I get to see it close up the next time I visit. It will definitely be something he will treasure and revisit over and over. He is a lucky little boy! Alison
Thank you for such a wonderful book. I'll make sure to pull it out the day he graduates from high school and we can have a good cry!
