Christmas 2005, shortly after becoming a Creative Memories Scrapbooking Consultant, I walked out of my mother's house with an old photo album containing deteriorating photos due to improper storage in a non-acid free photo album. I promised her that I would transfer all the pictures into a new album, decorate it, and turn it into a real heritage album.

I pulled out all the pictures to stop the deterioration and for several months now, they have been sitting in a box. This year, I resolve to finish the album in the hopes of returning it to her for Christmas of 2007. For those of you wondering, those are pictures of my parents when they were children.
