Mia @ 35

Mia says, KAYA!

This is a 6x6 album I created to commemorate my 35th year. Well, my birthday was last February but as early as January, I have been planning to create this. Thanks to Marian for her challenge, I have now succeeded in finishing the album! The album is in ABC format. I just listed things that I am thankful for. It's more than 26, of course, but here is just a glimpse of all my blessings. :-)
