(Basically, it's when you turn the same age as the number of the date of your b'day- that sounds confusing- but my b'day is on the 29th, and I turned 29. I've heard that some families do really big stuff for the golden birthdays in their family. Pretty cool.)

I loved all the golden yellow accents in the Homeroom Kit, so I knew I had to make a little mini album about my golden birthday using this kit.

To make the album, I cut pieces of the Hambly overlay in the kit into 4x6 sheets, and then folded 2" x 6" strips of the newsprint October Afternoon paper on one edge. Then I sewed all the newsprint edges together to bind it.

I did some reflective journaling in here, along with some snippets of my life "right now," including prices compared from the year I was born to now, who my friends are, and what music & tv shows I like. I think it'll be fun to look back on!

That is so cute and the different textures make if pop! I wonder if I can turn 4 again, lol!
LOL GINA!!!
V this turned out fantastic and i like the added stitching you did in it as well...
my "golden" birthday was 15...too young to really live it up huh? LOL
How cool, I've never heard of a "golden birthday". It's too late for me since there are only about 30 days in a month. But it's not too late for my kids!
Great book, btw. Love all the details!
What a cool idea! I hadn't heard of a golden birthday, either. Too bad, I've already passed mine! LOL!
