Finished Amelia's autograph book. Thought I'd share a few of the fav's:
I brought the book without any embellishments as I knew it would take a bit of a beating. LUCKILY, I carried it in a ziploc as we did have a water bottle leak :) I used a piece of heavy cardboard for the back and front and hole punched each. Then I used pearl card stock that I bought at Michael's for another project in anticipation for a few princess autographs. The rest had plain white card stock.
When we got home I began decorating each page as well as the cover that I just wrapped and glued in "disney" appropriate paper. The mouse ears clip art and the disney font I downloaded from the internet.
Many are the pictures we received from our photo pass that we purchased taken by Disney photographers ... some are my own. I tried to think ahead and get horizontal pictures...but many vertical I liked better so I used them too.
I originally thought I would scan all the autographs and then print them, but I thought the original was more special so just used the ones already in the book. Just inserted a blank in between each for the photos.
We also have been wearing these. No lens ... just for the studious look apparently.

All the supplies I had ... paper and embellishments. I am sure I could have found even more appropriate stickers, ribbon and bows...but I had so much on hand, I figured I'd better use up a bit of what I had. :)
Something Amelia will have forever.
AND I think Amelia and I have convinced Dad that we really, really, really need to go to Disney World for her 7th birthday!
Already planning ;)
This week we have been playing in our "bunkbed" at the landing of our stairs...every ... single ... day.
We also have been wearing these. No lens ... just for the studious look apparently.
And finally...a new fridge.
Our 150 year old (actually circa 1998) took its final breath with a pool of water under it one afternoon. Thanks to our neighbor's cooler, nothing was lost and we headed out for a new one. Little did we know that only about 3 refrigerators can somewhat fit in the space provided which limited our decision. We ended up having to cut the cabinet above and move the doors up for this Fridgedaire. We are super happy...except they are sending new doors due to a problem with the stainless steel on these doors (see the lines and smudges?). The new ones will arrive shortly. Still pretty happy with our purchase!
Lots of other demo and remodeling that isn't quite finished yet...so will post on that later!
