And finally, this is the minibook I made for AMM’s DT call.
It’s inspired by my friend Lori who told me about this submission to
Chatterbox about an album for your kids. So that if anything ever
happened to me and Jake, David would have letters from us to read on
each of the big occasions on his life. The pages are:
1. overall letter
2. first day of school
3. first love
4. first heartbreak
5. graduation
6. first job
7. first home
8. wedding
9. first baby
10. whenever he feels alone in life
I used the an envelope minibooks so I could put our letters inside.
And the photos are of David are from youngest to now up as we get
towards the end of the album.
You can see the full album here. And
there’s a link on the side, too.
I have a few friends who lost one or both parents early, and I know they’d appreciate something like this. A great idea, Karen, albeit one I hope David will never actually use.
