I was thinking of making a book, like a children's book about our lives together. I would include words, and pictures.

I thought I'd begin with filephotos from the 'net of the hospitals we were born in, and then the NICU we were in together {I have some from when my nephew was just in there}, then pics of us in elementary school , move up to high school, including some copied year book photos of us in clubs together, Wording something like: We never knew what would becomg of these encounters, and continue on through our dating life, engagement, wedding, and 1st year together pics.

I was thinking construction paper in those report cover sheets in a binder or something, some gliiter, some AC Moore kind of stuff. WDYT? Oh PS, I have 5 days to do this.

If I were going to put all the work into gathering photos, etc. I would for sure order a printed one from walmart.com or another site.

You could upload all the photos to a photo book shop online and have them make a real book! But you would have to do it quick to get it done in time. Great idea though!

I think that's a great idea but I don't have any good suggestions to add.

Go to picaboo.com you can order picture books there and make them exactly how you want them! I searched google and found a 50% off coupon (2PAKFY) and got a custom made guestbook for our wedding (with a few extra pages so it was a little more, 20 pages are included and anything over that is .99 per page) for $35!!!!! It is sooooo cute and its black leather! BUT you would have to pay for expedited shipping which I dont know if you wanna do!

I just started getting into scrap booking.. It's sooo much fun..

I would honestly head to a scrap booking store and get pre-made layouts.. It's a little pricer then making your own designs but since you have a short period of time to make it, I would go that route.. You can also check out Michaels or JoAnn's.. These crafts stores have a bunch of scrap booking stuff.. Also, check out Ross, they usually have scrapbook albums for cheap there..

Here's a scrap book album I found at Ross and it only costs $9.00 and it was originally priced for $45 and it's a 13x13 album.. It was a great deal..




You can do the internet scrap books. But honestly, it's not the same as if you do it yourself.. I personally think it looks much better if you do it by hand..

I think I am going to do the scrapbook idea, or a binded type thing with page protectors. I have all of the pics I need from his mom and my mom, and ideas to organize. I plan to go to AC Moore tonight!
