My Auntie's Gift

One of my cousins is having a baby. Her first. It is such a special time for her, her mate and her family. She has been sharing her journey with family and friends. Well, I wanted to share something with her mom, my Aunt. She loves homemade things, so I though she would like a album just for her, for her new grand baby that is coming.
They affectionately call the new little one yet to be born, Peanut. So I made a Peanut Gallery.
I was wondering what patterns to put on it, when I came across the Three Little Pigs paper! That was it, it was kinda muted tones, and I had some really good Bazzil to go with it! I gather from the things my Aunt makes, that she likes tea dyed and stuff, so I antiqued the edges with brown.
Here's a close up of the first couple of letters. The tag with the piggy says on the back, "Peanut Gallery"

Here's the side of the P_E_A and part of the N... you can kinda see parts of some of the pictures I put in, but those are her pictures, and for her....if she wants to share she can...
So here's the A-N-U-T... I had such a fun time making the album. I am hoping she likes it half as much as I had fun giving it to her!!
Hope you like!

  1. I cry every time I read your blog about this, which is over and over. I am currently in San Diego with Kattie and I brought it to her to see. She cried too. I want to take photos of her belly with it, if she will ever shower and put on makeup and do her hair. She does some and not all of it so photos are not being taken yet. Maybe to day. But I can not tell you thank you enough for this special book. I will cherish it forever!! I love you so much.
