Adding quotes and lyrics

Today, I decided to add quotes, lyrics, and some of my own personal touches into the book. I have arranged the pictures in a way that I think is pleasing and works. I added a handful of quotes and lyrics, and I decided that since I am giving this book to my mother, I wanted to add song lyrics from when she was a teenager/young adult. So I added some lyrics from John Denver and War, just to name a few. I want those lyrics to be a reminder of those summer days that she had when she was younger... the time of no school and no stress - just relaxing in the sumer with your friends.

It may seem like I am going pretty fast with this project, and I guess I am. But I don't want people to think that I am not putting 110% into this. I am a person that cannot procrastinate, so I have been doing a little bit everyday, working towards publishing this book. I am so proud of it so far, but next, I need to re-read all the writings that I have put in, because any grammatical errors would really upset me. I am thinking of finding some people to proof-read this and to tell me what I should do (any changes, is it pleasing to the eye, grammar, the flow of pictures, etc.) Next stop... editing!!!
