Happy Monday! Are you ready for another week? Can't believe Jacob only has one more week and is out for Thanksgiving week. I made it through the craft show on Friday with pretty good success, of course I brought stuff home but that is to be expected. The main goal was to make enough money for Christmas to be a little more comfortable and I succeeded at that so I feel good about it. And I have stuff left that will be going in my Etsy shop and on the blog so that is fun too!
I have a couple of fun mini photo books to share today. I made these after I saw the project on Lisa Johnson's blog a few weeks ago. It is the cutest little book and makes a great gift, I am hoping to fill these will photos and give them as gifts this year, they are great little brag books. The first one uses one of my favorite color combos of late, chartreuse and a rich yellow.
I think each one ended up with about 16 "pages" and took about 4 sheets of cardstock to make, not bad for a little gift. And you can definitely add more embellishments to dress it up more, but I kept both of mine pretty simple, I will let the pictures steal the show. The second one I have to share today is a definite fall color mix, I love it!
So how was the weekend for all of you...I had a good one, got crafty and made tags with a good friend, saw Megamind with the kids today...Mikey's first movie theater experience and he was really good for not even being 2 1/2, didn't even have to take him out once. He did tell me he was ready to go home before the movie even started but I think that is cause he is a bit scared of the dark. We have a big day today, Mikey is getting tubes in his ears this morning which will make for a lot better winter I am sure. Anyhow, I will be back this week with more fun projects and will be adding lots of new stuff to my Etsy shop too! Thank you for visiting today, have a good one!
What neat little photo books, Geny! Great gifts for grandparents!
