this is for an album I'm doing for my sister-in-law, who was a missionary in Leeds, England.

So the story behind the MASSIVE amount of pictures on this two-page spread: Julianne's first memory card of pictures was stolen out of the mail, and so she lost all of the pictures she had from the Missionary Training Center at the beginning of her mission. When she got home, she contacted some of her missionary friends and they sent her copies of their pictures. I'd already scrapped the few MTC photos I had at that point and moved on. When this new set of photos cropped up, I was faced with a choice: do I try to include these in the album (I REALLY didn't want to go back and insert a bunch more pages; I mean, there were over 700 photos to sort through!) or do I skip them altogether? I decided on a happy medium: since she had pictures with same group of people later in her mission, I decided to do sort of a flashback page.
