Last year I came up with an idea for a collaborative project called the Faux Family Album. I asked a bunch of great gals to participate and they did!!! I sent each person a vintage picture of a person that I bought from various antique shops. I asked each person to make a page in a photo album and on the back tell the story of that person. The pages I received back were just absolutely astounding. Just for fun, I sent them into the magazine Somerset Memories to see if they might be published, and luckily they wanted to feature our project in the magazine. The icing on the cake was that they asked me to write the article!!! What an honor!!! So, here is a picture of the cover of the magazine so if you are looking for it in the bookstore you can find it!
Here are the inside pages that feature our work! And lookee there under the title is "By Laura Duet!!!!" That is more Christmas magic for this month!!! Special things always happen in December it seems.
The only bummer was that they could not feature everyone's page in the magazine. Each page was truly a masterpiece!!! 
If you are interested in finding the magazine, it should be in bookstores this coming week or you could go to the Stampington website to order.
