Christmas this year. I despise shopping at the last minute. I did commission DH to make these beautiful spool,
thimble, scissor and needle holders for my friends as Christmas gifts. He used walnut, cherry and/or maple, which
created contrast. I was complaining to him how it was undignified for me to have such an hideous looking gadget that
was mass produced. So dh made some significant modifications and came up with what I consider a work of art. I just
love dh's work. He also turned some pepper mills as gifts. The pepper grinder he made for a dear friend as a house
warming gift can be viewed here:

I agree with Karen. Lots of the albums being made today as gifts don't have sheet protectors. ( pocket books, chipboard
books, baper bag albums, albums in a tin and so forth come to mind). I would however give it in or with a cello bag
that it can be stored in when not being either displayed or looked at. You might also consider sealing your pages with
something like modgepodge or some similar material. Perhaps someone here can come up with a better sealer. -- M-C -

http://community.webshots.com/photo/...65773417FjkuhL There's no law that says that you HAVE to protect the pages with
anything... unless it's being made for kids to look at or people who you know will put their grubby fingers all over
everything. When I make a gift book I don't worry about page protectors.[/quote:aa18ebb321]

I have several albums that I've done with the spiral scrapbooks and I did not worry about protecting the pages. These
were done for gifts and as an album to remember a trip we took to Indianapolis, I like it without the protectors as many
of the pages are "interactive". We took many pictures and I used accordian folded paper to incoropate many of
the pictures, along with journaling. Just my 2 cents worth. Kenda (checking in from BEAUTIFUL Colorado Springs)
