I don’t make many of these little Bind It All books because they make me use an awful lot of brain power plus a lot of time to put together, this one over six hours, not including a box.
However this was for a very special friend of my sister and so it was a pleasure. A book usually starts off with a long list of things about the person …so that I have plenty of scope and themes to work on (though I don’t use everything) and, if I am lucky, a few pictures too.
I think of it as a bit like writing a story and gradually it all comes together.
….. and I try make it as funny as I can …. it can be a bit tricky, but as I have met Chris myself this was a doddle as she has a very similar sense of humour to me…… daft!
I’ll let the rest of the pictures tell the story …….
I tell you what, my brain really ached when I had finished!
Lovely.

I love your albums Helen, but know what you mean. I was asked to make a hen party album (can't remember if I sent you photos?) but I stressed so much about getting it right. They do take time, but the outcome is stunning. You should be pleased with yourself on that, it's amazing! I'd love to get something like that. x
