    Anita...your travel themed folio is so cute and I love how you designed it to go in the opposite direction than I typically see these. Very cool idea. Your folio cover is adorable! Love the found relatives couple and the truck! So cute. The colors throughout definitely lend themselves for a beachy theme!

    Anita! You go girl with your cracked pistachio! I'm loving your old jalopy...why not swing by Wrightsville Beach, NC with that clunker? This whole album is just a breath of fresh air, and I love every detail! I am so going to steal some of your little details! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
