I did this a couple of years ago, back when I thought I might make a specialty of it as part of my art business. It's very, very nerve-wracking, knowing the final product is going be a memento to the bride and groom of their most special day. Yours is a real triumph of love and skill! Wow, what a lovely, lovely book you've made for them.Laura Frankstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528540633399368216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-67294580226230560942010-10-14T04:41:05.161+02:002010-10-14T04:41:05.161+02:00What a treat and a joy!
