a sneak peek...

every time i write or type

sneak peek

i always wanna mix up the vowels

in the two words.

like who gets the ee and who gets the ea.

anyway…

i wanted to share with you guys

a little peek at my newest scrap project.

i have been trying my best to create

a scrapbook of scarlett's first year of life.

i wanted her to have a detailed record

of most of her special moments during

this first year.

i figure i may not be the best at capturing

so many little details as the years go by

so i'm giving this first one my best shot.

in other words,

i may suck at momming 

later on down the line,

however,

these twelve months,

i'm gonna rock it out.

i'm doing this book project life style

with some good old fashioned single layouts too.

i went with the studio calico 9x12 handbook

and i am loving working with this size.

i have been trying so hard to work on this book

but i have only made it to a week after

her birth so far.

i know amazing right.

she's nine months.

but i'm having to keep her alive and stuff

and prevent the house from growing black mold

and making sure we have some

clean clothes here and there so…

that is the best i've got.

i need to start coming upstairs

to work on it once i put her to bed at night

and forget about sleep and showering and all that.

i decided to include details from the moment 

we found out she existed

up until her first birthday.

i wanted the book to have pictures of my pregnancy,

her gender reveal party and shower, her room,

and the other little preparations

we made while waiting for her arrival.

i love hearing stories about that time in 

my parents' life so i included those

in her book.

here's a peek.

those are just a few of the pages.

i've completed lots more than that.

i am thinking once the book is done,

i'll share a video of the entire finished product.

the goal is for it to be completed to put out

at her birthday party.

wish me luck.
