AG fun 2008

We had so much fun .... my tag project went over well and as you can see we used it in our books we created this year .... the theme of the book and the type of book is always decided on by the AG leader Jeri Aaron and as always she did a SUPER job again this year ....... click on the button that says "View all images" if you want to see them in photo form instead of slide show .... oops I forgot to mention that the views of the hanging things in the window next to the Indian page doesn't have a white background but that was the only way I could get the hanging things to show - it is really an open window where they hang free ...... enjoy
