I finished the special order and its ready to mail off to England! I did 2 albums for a return customer, for her family memories! She wanted them like a couple of the albums like i had made previously. Same colors. So I think they turned out pretty well and think she will be pleased! Good idea to have an album for every year to put in special memories and pictures. I have an album that sits on a shelf in the living room that I keep handy to write down special stories that my little girl Bailee Rose comes up with!
EXAMPLE...After her and i made a trip down town, we got home, came in the back door, her first, but some how had gotten behind me as i was closing the door, she was also trying to close the door...but her pinky got caught in the process and pinched! I was so so sorry and tried to make it up to her, by taking good care of her and her pinky. Or as she called it...tiny. (apparently her fingers have names....) Anyways she was playing it for all it was worth, and i was going along with it....(mothers guilt) and i said, im so sorry i hurt "tiny" as i was kissing it...and she said, holding up the rest of her fingers....wiggling them....said.."then tell the rest of the family sorry too....(meaning the rest of the fingers....) ha hahahahahah Of course you KNOW I made my apologies to the "rest of the family"! ha
Which leads me to the "milk dud story"...(your gunna love this!) ha Miss B as we like to call her, she is 5 and has 3 older brothers if you dont already know that...18, 15 and 13. Anyways, she is sitting downstairs with the youngest brother, Blaine...watching tv, and she has her candy, milk duds. Now Bailee , being the nice little girl she is, decided that she would "share" her milk duds with her dear brother Blaine. "Blainie" (as she calls him) "would you like a milk dud?" Blaine, ingulfed in the program didnt look up but just said , sure...and held out his hand.. and popped a milk dud in his mouth....and it was good! a few minutes later...she asked her brother again if he would like another one? And he said yes....but this time, he looked up....well miss beans , another name we call her....had been keeping the milk duds in her "pocket". Thats not strange you say....BUT the thing is..she didnt have a pocket ! She was keeping them in her underware! ha hahahahah.....Blaine about died.....! hahaha OH we love that story....Blaine...not so much! So we dont usually take candy from Miss Beans ! Lesson learned! ha
PS...we did teach her that her underware were NOT a good place to store things! ha OH my. Dont you just love kids! hahaha
This recipe Album has 20 recipe cards and 2 pull out tags. I love this basic grey paper...so pretty, my fav colors in it.
I had a special order for a recipe album, no big suprise there! BUT it was requested that this recipe album be done in auqa and lime green colors....AND have a PIG theme! hahaa As the person to recieve this album has a pig collection in her new kitchen! So I searched for some stickers or what have you for some funny pigs....and didnt find any to my liking...SO i decided to make my own pig! I had an inspiration of a pig by whipper snapper, that was a cupid, I thought i could draw one up but use it as a chef pig! So this is what I came up with and I made a pig for every section, There is a Kiss the COok on the front, a appetizer and beverage page pig, with the pig holding the wine glass and wine bottle! A soup and salad pig holding a soup pot and ladle. A side dish pig...hold up a corn cob and the main dish pig, holding a casserole with meat balls! ha ha And finally the dessert pig with a sheet of cookies. All hand cut out by me!!!!!!!!! Alot of work but worth it! Had a good time with this one! Think I will have to charge more for something like this in the future as it takes alot of work! Enjoy...have a laugh!
Here are the 3 albums i have done for a special order for my dear friend Melinda! She and I have come to the conclusion that we were separated at birth!!! We have the same love of paper, and usually the SAME paper....its uncanny..so its pretty easy to make up albums for Melinda! Her request for for 2 albums made out of the wassile paper line...i love it, love the colors in it. So I did up an Oh What Fun album, and a Lifes Moments album out of those. The third album was made in memory of her dear sweet dogs Mike and Misty who have passed on in the last year. They were West Highland Terriors so we decided that there needed to be some plaid in the album! ha So I searched and searched for matching paper. And came up with this album. I spend ALOT of time searching for paper!!! Since i have to purchase it all online!!!!!!!!!!! Takes alot of time!
Here are the 2 albums I have for Sundays listing....although I am giving a customer first dibs at them before listing!
