Default It's here and it's great!!

I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks but with good reason. Aubrey's bday is next Saturday and I was determined to get her book done and delivered to have at the party and I DID IT! Here is a link to check it out:
Gallery Project Details | Shutterfly

It arrived Friday and to all those that said "GO BIG OR GO HOME" you are absolutely right! 99 pages look awesome, I think all my books will be big books! Thank you ladies for all the inspiration, advice, and amazing products!!!!! I am so proud of this book.

Now maybe I can get caught up on my 365 layouts!!!

It is such a wonderful book, you should be proud of it! I wish I had pictures like that to make a book with so many pages. What a labor of love. Gorgeous!

It is a beautiful book, you really used the photos well, with the swapping between one and two on a page to a bunch on a page. Love it!

Wonderful job, Shirley...makes me jealous that there was no digital photography back when my babies were young, and this album can't be torn apart to take the pictures out wiley-niley. What a treasure for her to always have.
