My Rice Krispies Treats Spread!

I have been waiting to do this spread since April! I am so excited to have finally gotten to this point in my pictures. I think the pages turned out really cute!



Two more completed, which brings my total to 17 done, 33 to go!

Same old thing, two more done!

I really need to stop doing these pages this week, so I have something to do on Friday's crop night. So 15 done, 35 to go!

I completed 2 more pages - a favorite things spread. That's sort of a stretch, but hey, that's what I had for pictures. More specifically, one page is about Isaac and Audrey adoring each other, and the other shows him with Mr. Lamb (his lovey) and his grandpa.

I am on a roll!

I completed two more pages! That leaves me 37 to go.

These two were Isaac helping Daddy outside with yard clean up. I used my new ZIG Writers to draw grass borders on my paper, and I think it turned out really cute! They're a little blurry, though.




Isaac knocked the book off the table, and the cover ripped off - I think I need to separate the book into two so as not to put so much stress on the cover. But then I'll have to add a couple of pages to have good end and opening pages - otherwise I'd be splitting a spread.

Four more done!

During Audrey's nap this morning, I was able to spend some time doing my pages. I completed four! I think that brings my total to 11 done, 39 to complete. Woohoo!

Two pages are just him being goofy around the house, and the other two are of him playing Scrabble - I used a scoresheet (the printed board side) as a background, and made Scrabble tiles to fill in the page. When I get new batteries for my camera, I'll post pictures.

I made an envelope!

I don't have an envelope board, so I had to guess. I made two practice ones first, and I used the good one as a template.

I used the envelope to hold a printout of my very first blog post, recounting the attempt at potty-training Isaac. I tucked the flap around the background paper and attached it on the back, and made a "Potty training journal" sticker. The top photos are mounted only to the envelope, so that if one wanted to, they could take the page out of the protector, lift the envelope, and pull the journal out.

Here are pics:




The opposite page:


And, oh yeah, that brings my completed pages total to 7! Only 43 to go!

Two more done!

I just completed two more pages! I have five down, 45 to go. They were playing outside in the snow, and playing inside because it's too cold outside. I think they made a nice juxtaposed spread.




My next spread will be potty training, the first attempt. I have decided to borrow an idea from Glitter Adventure and use an envelope as part of my layout. This will contain my blog entry detailing the first day of training. I hope it turns out as I hope!

How's my diet?

Well, I received a Hobby Lobby gift card for Christmas, and didn't make it out there before New Year's, so now I have extra incentive to finish my 50 pages! As a reminder, I plan on doing 26-28 pages to complete Isaac's book, and then 22-24 to start Audrey's book before I buy any more supplies (besides adhesives and blades).

Today, I completed three pages. Finally. These particular three are from Christmas 2006 - specifically Isaac's Christmas program. We lost the pictures that were taken with the camera, and I had to get stills off the camcorder. Well, our camcorder wasn't working so we had to get that fixed. Then I just procrastinated watching the video and capturing stills. I did that yesterday, and then printed them, using my new photo paper.

That is so convenient, being able to print at home. Of course, I will still use Shutterfly for most of my photo printing, but there are times when I need a picture or two right away, and Shutterfly just isn't feasible. And I don't always want to run out to Walgreens to pick up prints, either.

Anyway, I have only 47 pages to go! Crop night is in 9 days, so I should be able to pound out a bunch then! Yea!
