Family wishes.

Everybody seems to be doing well at the hospital tonight. Thank you so much for all your prayers and positive thoughts. Amazing support.

I also wanted to share the book I created and gave to John and Liz. My cousin's wife, Cristina, came up with the idea for each of us to write letters/notes/stories down about parenting/life experience, etc and gave me the assignment to put it all together.

I loved this project. So many cool stories and words and photos came to me. Family members sharing their hearts with John and Liz and their baby (who we now know is Henry). Such a cool gift to give.

Here is a link to the rest of the pages in the album: Family Baby Album



Edited: Here is a bit of info about the supplies used in this album (had to leave to go to dinner with Chris' parents):

ALBUM: 7gypsies (about 5x7) sprial bound - the album got too thick with all the patterned paper, photos, etc. that I ended up using rings instead of the spirals - rings ended up in all of the wholes

PATTERNED PAPERS: the pattern on the front is a thick, velvet sort of paper from SEI - interior papers were from American Crafts, Wild Asparagus (My Mind's Eye), KI Memories, new Basic Grey, 7gypsies, Foofala (Autumn Leaves)

STAMP: red stamp on the journaling pages is Rhonna (Autumn Leaves) and the green-looking stamp is a digital brush from Rhonna (Two Peas)

TRANSPARENT WORDS: Heidi Swapp

BIG CIRCLES on transparencies: My Mind's Eye

WHITE WORD STICKERS: Rebecca Sower Bookworks for EK Success

REMEMBER STAMP: Catslife Press

OTHER STICKERS: 7gypsies
