Oatmeal's album

Oatmeal is an Italian Greyhound and he belongs to my son Matthew, who is currently serving in Iraq. I know Matt misses having Oatmeal around and so I scrounged around to see how many photos I could find of Oatmeal and Matt so that I could make this little album as a surprise to send to Matt for Valentine's Day.

This is also the first time I've used my new bind-it-all machine and it was really easy to use. I know I'll have a lot of fun making projects using it.

I'm not a good photographer at all so please know that the album looks a lot better in real life than it shows here on this slide show.

I hope Matt will be happily surprised when he sees this little album of Oatmeal.

    Matt is going to be really touched with what you've done with Oatmeal's pictures. Jennifer, you've outdone yourself!

    Oh this is wonderful! What a sweetie little Oatmeal is. You should put a disclaimer on this package to open it in private. He might shed some tears of joy when he sees this one.

    This is so cool. I love the name, Oatmeal, for a dog. We used to have a cat named "This".

    Your album is just adorable. The bind-it-all is fab, isn't it? I'm sure Matthew will love his little album. You're such a thoughtful Mama.
