I purchased a 1942 Year in Review for my Dad’s 80th Birthday, I was thrilled with how it turned out!
I took the download to Office Works to print and put in a black and glass frame, it looks absolutely beautiful. My Dad loved it and said it almost brought a tear to his eye!
Thank you so much for such a lovely gift idea 🙂
