Time On My Hands

After Christmas I meant to blog about the gift I made for Hubs for our family's gift exchange.  Of course, like everything else that I would like to do and seem never to get done, it went by the wayside.

However, due to being house-bound for the past two days, I now have all my ironing caught up and my mind started drifting to "things thought of but yet undone".  To show you the gift was one of those things on my list!

Now, when I say "I made it" I hope you know I use that phrase very loosely!  Actually, Apple and my Mac made it with a little assistance from me.  I did pick out the pictures!

I made a hardback book with pictures of Harper with just her Nonny and Pappa!  Is that not the height of selfishness?  I just wanted her to someday to be able to go back through this little book and "feel the love" that she has brought into our world in a short two years!!

The first time we laid eyes on her in the NICU

These are just a few of the many pages that I chose to add to the book.  Believe me, I had some  hard choices to make.  I had thousands of pictures to chose from. 

And, yes, I'm sure there will be a volume two someday of Hollis with her Nonny and Pappa!  And any other grandbaby that God blesses us with!  (Even Texas grandbabies someday!!!!)

This was a fun gift and I spent less on it than if I had gone to the store and picked out a gift for Hubs that he probably wouldn't have ever used or enjoyed as much!
