For the past several years now I've made Emme's biological grandma a little scrapbook with pictures of Emme that I've taken from each month of that year. Last year I decided to make it into a calendar for the coming year. This year I stayed with the calendar theme, I found a template for a little flip calendar with the pictures on top and the months below. After I made Emme's grandma's book I went back and switched out some of the pictures for ones with the other kids and made 3 more books for my mom, my mother-in-law and us. My mom brought out her Bind-it-All to bind them together. Since you already know what months look like on a calendar, I only uploaded the tops. I think they turned out pretty cute.
They look great! Is it all digital, or do you have some digital/hybrid going on? What template did you use? Thanks for your cute card and photo card. I enjoyed receiving it. I need to be more on top of things next year, but I'm not making any promises!
The calendar was completely digital....other than the fact that I had it printed then bound it. I also made birthday calendars that I designed myself for Tim's family and tied some ribons at the top of the binding...so I guess you could say they were hybrid ;) This template was by Zoe Pearn at Sweet Shoppe Designs.
Oh my goodness. I just love it so much. What a wonderful gift. I remember when you did that last year! Can you believe I have known you that long? I am so SO glad you are my blogging friend : )
4/28/11 -- My Aunt Natalie's funeral was today and Camden asked several questions about death throughout the day. Tonight I told him he could watch TV but not play video games, and he said "Because it's one of those funeral days?"
5/17/11 -- Camden coloring with markers: "Mom, the blue doesn't work because some kind of kid left it open."
5/18/11 -- Camden: "Mom, I love you. I love you more than ice cream."
5/27/11 -- Eating lunch at Canton City Camden says "Mom, I love ice cream, but sometimes it gives me brain freeze -- do you get brain freeze?" Me: "Sometimes, but I never got it when I was little." Camden: "Because you didn't have brains?"
5/31/11 -- Emme was playing with my eyelash curler and Camden walked in and asked: "Are you pretending to be pretty?"
5/31/11 -- Tristen said Jarek looked Chinese. I explained that it was a genetic impossibility. Then Tristen said "Well, maybe there are just so many Chinese people that God throws the extras to the Mormons."
7/11 -- A couple of days after we got our male baby goat I asked Camden if he wanted to hold him. He said he had held him before, so I asked him when. He said "A few years ago."
8/2/11 -- Camden: "What do you call a fly if you pull it's wings off?"
8/3/11 -- Jarek: "Are you going somewhere Mom?" (A VERY common question for him to ask.) Me: Yeah, I'm going to Vernal." Jarek: "And you're wearing that?"
8/31/11 -- Jarek, comparing two desserts at Cafe Rio: "They taste pretty much the same except for the flavor."
9/1/11 -- Camden, as we walked by a mens baseball team practicing: "Look Mom, they're playing t-ball."
9/20/11 -- "What is that horrible noise?" Camden's reaction when Jarek started practicing his trumpet.
11/3/11 -- Emme: "Camden, I think your fish is dead." Camden: "NO IT'S NOT, it's just laying down!"
