I combined each entry with a coordinating piece of fabric to tell my story.
One of the highlights of the year was going to Sweden and spending time with our DIL's parents on a weekend train / boat excursion in Norway.
We held Peto meetings at my house and closed on our cabin that summer.
I added a border of "news" events for each month--national, international and local in that order.
This is the back.
Our family tradition is to have Thanksgiving at the cabin where I cook the turkey and most of the fixings. I make my grandmother's stuffing recipe which calls for a pound of butter. It's so-o-o good!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
