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. :-)

























Journaling:

About ME:
I am in my mid-thirties, married to my bestfriend, Mier, for 8 years and blessed with three beautiful daughters, Nadine (age 6), Raya (age 4) and Alyssa (11 months). I have been fixing my photos since high school but got really serious (as in using acid free materials) in 2004. I am a self proclaimed scrap addict. Visit me at http://mcastrillo.blogspot.com.
