So I know why Santa (I mean my mom!) knows me so well… it’s because I’m just like her! The older I get (and becoming a mom) has really shown me it’s true. And you know what? I love it! Last night we talked on the phone for 30 minutes discussing our new craft project. “New craft project?” you ask. YES, the new craft project! My mom came up with this great idea for all the photo Christmas cards she receives every year. Now my mom receives a TON of photo Christmas cards each year, running a daycare for 30+ years will do that to you. She didn’t have the heart to throw these cards away at the end of the Christmas season and has been storing them with the Christmas stuff for years now, all the way back to 1990! Well last year she started a project to scrapbook all of these cards. When I saw her book I was inspired. I loved the idea that you could see how each of the kids have grown from year to year. My favorite family to show this was the Simisons. They have been sending her cards forever and it was amazing to see how the girls have grown. I have been saving all my Christmas photo cards for the past few years, I just didn’t have the heart to toss them. After seeing my moms book at Christmas I knew it was something I wanted to do. So like any project I’m working on, I get obsessed with it and end up finishing in a few days. Ignoring Ichiro at night and not going to bed at a normal time. Believe it or not, Ichiro went to bed before me the past two nights!! Anyway I wanted to show my mom how far I have gotten in a couple of days and thought I should share with everyone.
Remember it’s not 100% done yet…
