Love these ideas. I don't do mine until the end and by then, I'm usually itching to get the book printed. So, I usually take the lazy way out and just repeat the cover or put in one large family photo or something like that.
@turtlebug Gabrielle! That's AWESOME! 219 pages - WOW! And I LOVE that you use your books to resolve disputes on when things happened! We do the same -- always referring back to pictures and stories in the albums to remember the sequence and timing of things. For some reason I can never remember what years we got our dogs, so I always have to look back at our albums.
