Our Photo Albums just arrived in the mail!  Every year we look through all the photos of the girls and have our favorites made into a book for the grandparents.  I love the process of editing and looking over the images from the past year.  Ada and Josie like to pull their chairs up to the computer and look through the pictures with me.  They grow and change so much in a year!  There are lots of online sites to create photo books, but we have always used IPhoto and Apple and love the results.  The editing and page options in Iphoto make it really easy to transfer photos into a book layout and the finished albums are beautiful.  The whole process of putting together a book feels very satisfying.  It makes us feel thankful for the past year and excited for the year ahead.  (And opening the books at Christmas time always seems make the grandparents smile).

*You still have time to make your own if you need a gift idea.  Our books always arrive in under two weeks.

We made these eggs for our friends last year.  They are simple for kids to decorate and a good way to use up some scraps from past projects.  You will need:

*Card stock

*Scissors

*Glue

*Collage Materials (We used scrap yarn, fabric, cupcake liners, glitter, sequins, googly eyes, doilies, watercolors and crayons).

1.  Draw large egg shape on card stock and cut out.  Our eggs are 4″x 3″.

2.  Trace this egg pattern onto the other card stock pieces and cut out.

3.  Hand over the glue and let the kids decorate away.

4.  Wait for glue to dry and place in vellum envelopes.  These make great Easter cards or basket treats for the grandparents.
