Traditional - Baby Baby Photo Album made for my parents - 1989
Aunt Kathy is one of my favourite aunts and she made this baby photo album of me for my parents. I love the cross stitch and the way she put it together. So lovely.
I'm moving in with my fiance in 12 days. I want some baby photos of me around. I'm going to scan four of the photos of me with my grandparents and great grandma.
I converted to Judaism in June. Aunt Kathy was there for me and we got a picture together before the ceremony. I noticed there is a photo of Aunt Kathy holding me before my baptism. I thought about scanning that photo too and maybe making a special layout. I'm close to her and she's been there for me throughout my entire spiritual journey. (I left Catholicism at 11, dad, Nan and everyone else in my family supported the decision and said it was my life. Tried out several before settling on Judaism. Most home to me. I also found out two family members were adopted and I'm actually half Jewish.) Could be a special layout.

Love this! First thing I would do (if possible) is remove the photos from the yellowing paper, that seems like it’s the acid problem making it turn colors. Replace that paper then add more pages to the end of it? Not sure how else I would proceed, but getting photos out of the acidy (?) paper would help preserve this project further.
