Hello everyone!! I'm so excited to share with all of you AND all the followers of  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  AND all the followers of  CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART ,  my little Camp Autograph book!   Well, it's that time of year again when lots of kids head off to camps of all kinds! Our son, who is 14, will be going to church youth camp next week and I thought it would be fun to make him an autograph book to take with him for old and new friends to sign and write a little message in. Actually, he doesn't think he will use it but I'm going to tuck it into his bag anyway and see what happens! LOL!                                                                                          Here is the finished book: Now...
