Now and Then Mini by Yvonne Blair

 Hi everyone!  I hope each and every one of you had a very happy Thanksgiving!  It is so crazy to be in the full swing of the Holiday season again! It sure doesn't feel as though a whole year has passed, lol.  

Today I am sharing this fun mini featuring Now and Then!  This line is amazing. The colors are gorgeous.

I plan to use this book to highlight some everyday memories.  Things that we tend to overlook and take for granted.  You know what I'm talking about.  Those everyday moments like a stop in to Starbucks, an afternoon you snuck away for a girl's lunch, those little moments that kind of get lost in the shuffle of this very busy time of the year.  Just in case you want to make one to...I have directions for you.
