Flynn's Third Year

Continuing the series of grandchildren books I am making for my darling husband, this is the first year of photos of his first grandson.
In this age of cloud storage, few photos are actually printed, or looked at more than once.  Leafing through this book brings back so many joyous memories - they grow so quickly and you forget so much.  It is a real tonic.
​With many thanks to my teacher, mentor and friend Jacqueline Liekens, who leant more than a helping hand.
The box, closed, inspired by this little boy's love of gelato
The box partially opened. The decoration theme was inspired by this boy's love of Italian gelato.
