So how a bit of a side shot so you can see the super cool book pages...

And here is another side shot of the super cool fabby book pages....

Ooooo Looky - this is what's in the inside over... the writing says - If we take care of the moments the years will take care of themselves..... This is a Webster Canvas tag - nice huh??
