Super cute projects! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute projects! I adore October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker collection - so fun and vintage and delicious! For Christmas last year, i made little accordian recipe books for my BIL and SIL with some of my favorite recipes and I wish i had had this collection then! I have been planning to make some more recipes books with family favorites that have been handed down - especially my husband's grandmother's recipes that are not really recipes but are in her head. She will soon be 101 and I want to get them on paper before she forgets them :) So I really appreciate this tutorial for this adorable album - it is perfect. And this OA collection will be perfect too! thanks for the chance to win!
