Finished..... yea I am finished.

Whew... finally finished the albums I was making for the kids for Christmas.. When Kiko got sick I had to put those kinds of projects on hold.. So needless to say some of them didn't get done for Christmas. It was a huge project. Eight albums with forty pages in each album. I had to design the book, the layout and look for the pictures, then print them making sure the sizes would fit on the pages. Each picture had to be trimmed and captions and tidbits had to be done. I used different colors of paper for each page. Well anyway, ended up making 7 books instead of 8 as originally planned.

In case some of you don't know, Kiko is my son who passed away the day before Thanksgiving. He died of pneumonia from complications relating to chemotherapy which he had for mixed germ cell tumor. He was so sick for four long months. He fought a good fight. And anyone who thought he was the weakest, found out he was so very strong. He had such a will. But he got tired. Turns out the treatment that was supposed to save him actually caused his death. I still can't believe he's gone. Doubt I will ever believe it. Don't want to anyway.

I'm not going to write any more about this for awhile... too hard. I'm going to look and see if I can find a picture of one of the album pages I made.. I know I took some pictures of them but I also know I deleted them off my computer in case the kids came, I didn't want them to see it before it was done.

I'm glad I'm finished with the albums, they felt like leftover 2008 projects, which they were. Now I'll start a new project. I want to make a doll.
