An Album is Worth 10,000 Words!


Recently, I met my mom and sisters Mary and Michelle for a birthday brunch, and I received a gift that is so special that I have to share it with you!  Michelle stalked my Facebook page and Posterous blog (where I keep my favorite photos) and created one of those She'd-never-do-this-for-herself,-so-this-is-AWESOME type gifts!

It's a coffee table book made completely of photos I've taken (plus my favorite one from Camille). It's fantastic, and I LOVE it. If you'd like to see the digital version, view it here.

If you have a friend or someone you'd love to do this for, consider using Picaboo. Michelle said it was very easy to use. If you use this link and join (It's free!), both you and Michelle will receive $10 in "Picabucks," too!

Thank you, Michelle. As if this gift wasn't thoughtful enough, you had to go all out again. You're a treasure, and I'm so glad to call you sister (and friend). Love you...

  10. You realize that every time you say "Michelle" I get confused, right? What a great gift - and how thoughtful and perfect of her to have made that for you.
