Cool Album Idea

I've been collecting the Reminensce tags with the idea of making just such a book. I still need a bunch, So far, I've purchased: Alabama Arizona Arkansas Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Indiana Kentucky Michigan Mississippi Missouri New Jersey New York North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma Texas Utah

I also have the Canada one.

I guess I'm close to half way there! I just hope that I can buy the rest of them.

Neat idea.

I'm doing a travel album for dad (he's 85, but is traveling more than ever). Found one of those outline maps online like you use for school project (found it on a teacher's website). Luckily, it has both Canada & the U.S., since he ended up taking a 3-week trip all the way across Canada this summer after I started the album. On the cover I will use the map with all the states & provinces highlighted that he's visited. For each individual trip inside, I highlight the state or states covered during that particular trip.

Only have one trip done so far. You can see the cover for it here:

That is a cool idea! I wouldn't have very many pages in mine if I did that. LOL We seem to travel from here to NM and back. LOL That is a neat idea though.

For anyone who might be interested in doing these albums, this website has everything you need. (NO, I don't work for them! LOL)

So where does one get these tags that ya'll are talking about? Of course I have a piece of paper from each state ALMOST :)) that I am trying to get a recognizable picture from each state to put on that page.

Love the idea and working on it too!!

((HUGS!))

Check out my pix and crafts!

I posted a great link yesterday in this thread that would really work well for what you're looking for.

I just checked the site out.. It's AMAZING!!!! Can't wait to find a job now!!!!!

Dave, Check out that link. It is INCREDIBLE!! Ang.

The more I think about this one, the more I want to do it. We have a continual banter going back and forth about what states we've been too. What a good way to mark each off! Kathy

I refuse to go and look at that site. She has sent me a couple emails ver past month telling me of all kinds of NEW thing - eeekkkk!!!

(yes that is one of my regular hangouts - LOL!)

TFS and a ppfffbbbtt for ya!

M-C have you checked out the Reminisce website lately? They have and exclusive travel tag offer. If you send them 30 empty travel tag packages, they will create a custom travel tag for you.

Dave, You MUST go there... (enabeling here) OMG... I could do some MAJOR damage myself there. Woohoo.... Will keep it in mind.

I loved looking at your Dad's album! What fun he had stopping at the hardware stores! LOL How wonderful it is that he's so active at his age!!! I hope I maintain my health the way he has to be able to enjoy life at his age. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Kenda! Just showed it to a co-worker from another office today. Hadn't looked at it in awhile myself.

Yes, he can (& does, when he can get to one) spend hours in them.

Think good thoughts Monday (midday, eastern), if you think of it. He has macular degeneration & had a "massive bleed" (per the eye doctor he saw today) in his right eye about 2 weeks ago. He's lost most of the vision in it at the moment. They're doing surgery (with anesthetic, so always a risk, especially at his age) on Monday with the hopes of saving up to 25% of his vision.

You're welcome. Thanks for looking!

This is a really good idea. Making a scrapbook on someone elses behalf would be the most lovely present!

I have been to nearly all the states............... of Australia ;) I've visited 6 out of our 7! lol. it would be awesome to have matching titles of each. I will have to keep an eye out :)
