catching up…

September 16, 2008 By Kelle

…on documenting these last months. her second year book could seriously have about 200 pages because these days, there’s just so much to capture.

here’s a few of the many we’ve been working on these past couple months:

for a 2-pg. spread:

…and when do i have time to do these? it’s my thing. i don’t take naps, i don’t watch t.v., i don’t read much (sadly). when i have any moment to myself, my favorite thing to do is to get a cup of coffee and make something beautiful be it designing an album page or laying out a new photo wall (major one in the works right now…pictures to come, but i am chomping at the bit to finish this wall in our family room). anyway, i hate the feeling of being behind with pictures. consequently, i’m a bit obsessive-compulsive about keeping up with it.

i love to look back at these and can’t wait for her to look at them someday!

    SHUT THE F UP RIGHT NOW!!!

    These pages are out of this world.

    Chills. And I don’t get chills often.

    I just fell off my couch.

    Amazing.

    You awe me.

    And I’m NOT KIDDING.

    oh.

    That is great. And it is funny when people ask “how do you have time for..” or simply say “I don’t have time for…” cause, hey, we all pick what we spend time on. I am like you in that I don’t watch tv. I’d much rather write and edit photos.

    Anyway.

    Your pages are fab. Do you think we will meet some day? Do you wonder if we won’t like each other? Do I sound like a stalker? oh well.

    This entry makes me wish I was a stay at home mama.
