#43 simple and easy monday ✂

{photo albums}

i remember the old days when my family used to visit 
the homes of our relatives and friends,
---bored and sitting in their living rooms,
i would entertain myself 
flipping the yellowing pages of their old photo albums,
while the old ones went about their business.

i am sure that every household today, 
still have a couple or more old photo albums.
we have them in different colors of florals, geometric, 
solid or patterned (not pretty at all).

          

i love the aged and vintage effects of the old pages

but 

i don't want to hide them in a box in the basement,

-- just because --

they don't match the style of the house or 
-- just because --

they're ugly-looking. 

i covered the old albums with kraft wrapping paper

(the one i used here is thicker and heavier than the regular kraft paper,

the past owner of our house left this huge roll when we moved in, yay!)

i used chalkboard paint and chalkboard marker for the labels.

next time you need another album, 

no need to stress on the color or design.

and like the old days, bring them out in the living room

for everyone to enjoy.
