That's probably better than having them in a book that's falling apart. Map pages are one of my favourite things, but I can never bring myself to tearing them out of books. I need others to do it for me.Tuula @ Thrifty Rebel Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774298996059905890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-86797387661668841092014-09-09T10:12:14.542-04:002014-09-09T10:12:14.542-04:00frame 'em! i know you have plenty of those ly...frame 'em! i know you have plenty of those lying around...Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465862144480036138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-61430233569271976712014-09-09T09:21:57.135-04:002014-09-09T09:21:57.135-04:00NOTE: In clarification to Cheryl point.
