Directions on Mini Album

Surprisingly the Mini Album class went very well last Thursday!  Had 7 students that were all happy with their finished albums.  Now starting to set up the second Mini Album Class for the Kennebunk Free Library for the 24th.  Have made a new Mini Album to be shown to the class.  Have to finish the front cover!  Have gone over the directions and changed some of the measurements for the covers.....I think now the directions are complete!
