          You're committed Anna, hope your children appreciate these records of their lives as they get older.

            Oh I know, I hope they do too, even if the older two aren't in the photos often, at least they can see a bit of our memories in what I have captured and put together in photobooks.

                            I haven't been around for a while - retiring and getting into 4x4 driving etc but now back and great to see that you are still so enthusiastic about recording your lives - now in Cairns.

                              Thank you lovely people for stopping by and leaving a comment. We aren't the most exciting family lol .. and I have more YAPS dog and cat photos than my own anti-camera teenagers.
                              I bought a photobook voucher at the beginning of the year and got to use it recently for my 60 page photobook for 2014 and it turned out really well so will use The Photobook Club again and purchase vouchers when there are sales on but they really have some good specials regardless of sales.
