Things you will need. I like stickers. They are easy to decorate with. Laminate of some sort. Rather the big pages that you can cut or the pouches. Make sure they are self sealing. Otherwise, you will need a machine. I like to use construction paper as the background and personal touches. This year I am using locks of Lilly's hair. Why? Weird? Well, earlier this year she decided she needed a hair cut and went into my sewing box. She had never gone in there before. I walked into the room to find hair in one hand and scissors in the other. She immediately dropped everything on the floor. Then started patting her hair saying "Pretty Mama...I pretty." So I saved the hair to show my Dad how much she cut off when she was unable to visit him in the hospital. I was going to save some for her baby book and then didn't know what to do with the rest. Seem like a waste after she worked so hard on it..lol. So I decided to incorporate into our Christmas ornaments this year. Usually, I do something different. One year we did hand prints. Now I realize you need to bring the group of people in for minimal money on this project. I did nearly 65 of them with the hands!!!! That church family, family, and friends!!!!! Now it's just my Aunts and Uncles. That's it.
I made these dvds with my old computer to send out. That way everyone, who may not live close, will get the chance to see her grow.
