Birthday Mini Book!
BIG NEWS. You know that feeling when you have totally finished a project that took you FOREVER. Well, my best friend turned 25 this weekend and for her birthday I asked 25 different people from her life to submit one birthday wish, and I complied them into a 25 wishes for your 25th birthday book. I wanted the wishes to be handwritten so I snail mailed the chosen people pieces of white cardstock in early October and just last week got all the wishes and photos in order. I have everyone from her friends now, to her grandparents, to her favorite high school french teacher to friends from camp. It was so much fun to watch her look at this because she had no idea who was coming next in the album.
I recommend doing a similar project like this around Thanksgiving when you can have each child write what they are thankful for, or even sooner for Valentines day and you could write one thing that you love about someone - or of course around someones birthday! It is just a really nice way to incorperate a lot of different people into one cohesive gift.
Id love to hear what you think! Please leave a comment 
PS. All the supplies except for the chipboard album can be bought in the store! Let me know if there is a technque or an item you like and I can tell you what it is.
