Who knew that being a Grandma was so much fun! We've loved watching Alice grow and develop and she really has brought sunshine to everyone who knows her.  My parents (her great grandparents) love her weekly visits to them and I know Craig's family also love getting to see her. I feel so lucky to be able to look after her while Claire goes to work, such a precious little girl!

December 2011 Album (Days 1 - 5)

I've finally got round to taking photos of the pages made so far (thanks Mum for letting me borrow your easel!)

As I've said before, my album is going to be very simple because that's the only way I'll keep up and finish it. I had been going to type up my journalling but have decided to go hand written instead, so  everything could be stuck down and all I need to do is write on the cards each day. Other than the journalling all each layout needs is a photo to be stuck in and the number put on the tree. The only reason I haven't stuck the numbers on the trees is that I've found I've needed to swap pages around a couple of times already. I'm enjoying it being stress free this year :)

You should be able to click on the photos if you want to see them clearer.

And can I just add, this is probably the most patterned paper you'll ever have seen in one of my albums. A bit out of my comfort zone :)

December album

Today I started putting together an album for December. I'm still not 100% sure how I'm playing it this year but just getting it finished would be good!  I've decided to keep it small and simple using a 6 x 6 American Crafts album and keeping the template the same, though the page with the photos can be turned for either portrait or landscape shots.

This gives an idea of what the finished pages will look like.
