Do You Believe in Fairies?

This is a little mini album/story book that I made for my little granddaughter Mia for her 3rd Birthday. During one of my visits, I spent a couple of hours at a gorgeous little park with Isla and Mia and of cause my camera. The girls were having a lovely time exploring the little dry creek bed and playing around the vegetation and I got some lovely natural shots.

When I had the photos developed, I thought it would make a great mini album to document the fun time we had at the park. Then I realized that I could turn the whole thing into a cute story with Mia as the main character.

Now I am by no means a writer but each day I jotted down a few ideas......some were good...some not so good. And I finally came up with this story.

Thanks for looking,

Mini Album

I thought I would like to share my first mini album, this is the one that has started my passion for mini albums. I made this one for my VBF (very best friend). We met in 2003 and hit if off right from the start. Over the years we have been there for each other sharing the good times and the bad. In 2007 Trish moved away to be closer to her family and even though it was hard for both of us, our friendship has stayed strong.

Trish is one of those people that has everything so I decided to have a go and make her a mini album for her birthday. I wanted to focus on our friendship and the fun times we shared as well as affirming who she is and how much she has to give. It now has pride on her sideboard and she shows it it anyone that happens to walk through her front door LOL.

I hope you have enjoyed looking through this mini album, there are 10 pages in all and it was hard to stop there.

Cheers, Irene :)

December Daily Album

I have finally taken some photos for my DDA that I am happy with. Most days were too sunny but Saturday morning was overcast and I find that is the time to take the best photos with my camera. I am a little behind in completing the pages but I have tried to stay up to date with my journaling. I am finding that it is really hard to remember exactly what I did a few days ago, so I have made a point of jotting down a few things at the end of each day on my computer.

Intro

Journaling Page 1

I have hidden the journaling in between page 1 and page 2. On the back of the journaling card, I have adhered the business card from Sweet and Shabby (which holds more information) where my daughter and I enjoyed morning tea.



Hopefully this week I will get more time to catch up on a few more pages. I love checking out other DDAs and at times I am in awe of all the talent out there. Every one has such a unique style and they are creating an amazing keepsake.
