I love this book it so pretty and I love the colors. Only one thing where do you put your photos? I didn't see anywhere that I could.

Hi there,
Thank you for your note. The paper bags have openings at them end where you could slip photos, memorabilia, recipes, etc. Just a different way of including special items such as pictures without having to adhere them directly to the pages.
Hope that helps a bit.
