School Days Album

From Preschool through 12th grade, this book helps organize all those School Days memories. Each two-page spread contains a fill in the blank form to document favorite foods, best friends, handwriting sample, and much more. There's a spot for a wallet sized photograph, and a pocket to stash the class photo, some samples of work, and/or report card.



This will be offered as a class, too, if you would like to make your own. Date TBD soon.

If you would like Word files of the inner pages to make your own, let me know.
