You were reading my mind. I was thinking about doing that very thing.

Julie and Kim, all I can say is "Wow!" Such wonderful pages. I need to study these. I'll try to get mine done next week. I'm going away for a long weekend. Julie, thanks for posting this.

Here's my first try with this template. For me, the hard part was deciding on what pictures to use.

Julie and Carol: Thanks for the wonderful words. They did have a great time. I miss my DW when she's gone on her trips; however, I'm happy for her, her family and her friends.

So often I look at a template such as this and think, "Such little thumbnails, I would never use something like that." Then I have to remind myself, this is a 'page'; it is something that is going to be printed --- not something for a web posting.

We have a big deal construction project going on at my church. I have been going over every other day or so to 'chronicle the activity'. My images all have an explanation of what is depicted; there is a slideshow up on the website so anybody interested can see what's happening inside the closed off space.

I thought this template could be used as a sort of 'story board' to show progress to date starting with day-1...

(I couldn't think of any appropriate journaling)

Rusty, we think alike. I increased the size of each photo and reduced the number by 8 imagines [from 20 to 12]. I like your page and the work that's being done at your church.
