The Birthday Book
Hello Hello
How's your Christmas shopping going? Are you done or just getting started? I actually had most of mine done before December only because I really wanted to focus on our family time and celebrating the season. I do believe I am really enjoying this too so this may become the norm for me, getting things done early.
Today I want to do a follow up post from a couple of days ago when I shared a mini book kit.
The kit I made for my youngest daughter's fifth birthday party and well it ended up being pretty darn cool - if I do say so myself.
I wanted to show you how I envisioned all of the supplies put together...here is what mine looks like all finished.
I wanted there to be a journal spot on each page plus some interest, thus the 'decorative' side opposite the journaling.
I like all the small embellishments, one of my long time favorites has always been metal so you know I love the paper clips.
I love stamps too and wanted to be able to get more use out of them so that's what made me think to add in a few sentiments too.
I think just the act alone of jotting down bits and pieces from our day is a very good way to document - or rather 'scrapbook' our stories because really everyday is essentially our life.
Adding in the photos just enhances what is already substantial it gives a solid base...color.
On the last page here is where I added my mini envelope and eventually where I will put a picture of the birthday girl.
Inside along with my photo I will have the party details, in our guest's book this is where we added in a little 'Thank You' card.
So there you have it...what do you think? Pretty cute don't you agree? I'll tell ya - it was quite a bit of prep work on my part but I will do it again if either of my girls wants to try it again. It ended up being a fun little project that all the little girls were excited about so yeah...I'd do it again.
Thanks for taking a peek and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Today I will finally be getting some photos taken of my December Daily up to this point and Ihope to will get them up this weekend...lol.
Hope you all are enjoying your holiday season and thank you once again!!!
