Summer 2011 Book : July - Aug

This is the last post about my summer mini book before I put it away.  After waiting a long time for the pictures to be printed, this book is finally complete.  It is so big, too big.  I think I'll do it differently this Fall.  I'll share that bit later.  You can check out part 1 of my summer 2011 mini book here.

 

//  I loved doing this mini book.  I bought it from Elise.  And she has a fantastic Fall one too.  I am making my own Fall mini book that I'll be sharing later.  These books are such fun projects.  You don't need anything but paper and string to make them.  You just collect and document as you go and they can be as simple as that.  Its so fun looking back on the events of my life in this way. 

Summer 2011 Book : May - July

I knew this was going to be a busy summer so, I wanted to document it.  Elise does it best, so I bought the book all ready to go from her Etsy shop.  I've had no problem filling it.   I know she's planning on selling a Fall 2011 book and I can't wait to purchase that one too. 

*  I'll share the rest of the book when August is over.  Check out the other books I've made.

// I'm waiting to get my Iceland pictures in the mail so I can complete that book...

week in the life : mini book / preview

This was a good week. I have this book to show for it. I really liked doing the week in the life project. Here's how I stayed focused and organized on this project: I had a spot on our desk designated for little cards and pens (I had a particular color scheme in mind) to write thoughts of different parts of my day. Whenever I went out, I brought a few cards with me. It was nice to have something to do (that I could easily stop if I needed to attend to my babe) while on the subway. Lastly, each day I took lots of pictures (but only shared a few here) that I'll add when they arrive. That should be sometime next week.

// Can't wait to share the finished product!
