[F : free]

Free - walking :
you started walking a week before your 1st birthday. once you're up and about, there was no stopping you! By the time we went to japan, you were walking likea pro! we love your joy and excitement at this new skill. you're as free to walk as much as you like! :D

[E : everyday moments]

delight in the everyday moments!
(a simple one. lol)

[D : daughter's eyes]

in my daughter's eyes everyone is equal, darkness turns to light
and the world is at peace, this miracle god gave to me
gives me strength when i am weak, i find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes
and when she wrps her hand around my finger, oh it puts a smile in my heart
everything becomes a little clearer, i realize what life is all about

[C : my kinda Cute]

you have this expression many times. i call it you 'on the verge of a smile' look!

[B: Basic Instinct]

dearest gracie: just a little page in remembrance of the truly wonderful time i breastfed you. it wasn't an easy journey, i was just as confused about it all as you were. but we soon got the hang of it and i looked forward to all the sessions when it was just you and me. u loved drinking milk. even now! i loved the closeness we shared then. i truly believe that it is the best way in which i can share my love of you and the most profound sense of closeness. i love you always. mommy.

this photo was taken the night my waters broke. gracie u couldn't wait until your E.D.D three weekslater, and decided to put in an early appearance. O, the mad rush to get everything ready for your return from hospital. We couldn't wait too! ED: 22mar2005

[A_Z album]

I'll be posting the A-Z album that i'm compiling for Gracie's 1st year! She's growing so fast! Just looking back at her 1st year birthday pics and seeing how she has grown since then. I think this is what makes scrapbooking so meaningful, the recording of each and every growing moment. (or at least the momentous ones!)

Right now i'm at Q.... a few more to go before this book is complete! :D

For the record

As a mother, it is with mixed feelings that i look at my daughter growing up. She has quickly progressed from a newborn into a baby into a full fledged toddler. She is starting to talk and evolve into a real personality.
Like all mothers, we take pride in our little ones achievements every step of the way. I needed an outlet for me to share and record all the little things that she has been doing. Hence this obsession with Scrapbooking.
If you are like me, but don't really want to have the hassle of creating and sourcing for all the materials to create that everlasting memory book (or even books!), please drop me a line. My aim is to personalise albums for your little ones, for any occassion.
