Photo Mosaic

I wanted to share a little home project I've been working on.  This is a photo mosaic with pictures of the two kids that I put up in the hallway between their two rooms.  The wall decal came from Kohl's and the 5x5 photo plaques are from Shutterfly.

Thank You Notes for Little Kids

Thank you cards are a big deal around here.  Even when my kids are too little to write out their own cards I have them sit with me and tell me what they liked about their presents and then have them decorate the envelopes.  Since Cole can write his own thank you notes Kiley of course wants to do her own as well.  I created these cards in Shutterfly so that Kiley can color the outside and I can write a note on the inside.  It's the perfect way for her to get to "help" with thank you notes. If you don't already have a Shutterfly account, you can sign up here.  Then, if you click on this link you'll be able to order your own set of cards.  You could of course also make some on your own and print them out for the little thank you note writers in your home.

I Love You Because Wall Art

Here's a little home project that I'd thought I'd share.  I know that Valentine's Day is right around the corner, but this is a lovely way to show your kids you love them the other 364 days a year.  I totally stole this idea from a pin I found on Pinterest.  I created my own signs and printed them as 5x7 pictures.  You can write on the glass with a dry erase marker and then wipe it off.  You can save my images below and use them for yourself or I've shared them on Shutterfly and you can order them through there if you would like.  Consider it my Valentine's Day gift to you, my loyal blog readers.

Here's a peek at the photobook that I created with our monthly family pictures.

2011 Photo Project

Last year I stole an idea from the fabulous Tara Whitney. She had posted about taking a family picture every month for the entire year in 2010.  I was completely inspired.  So my resolution for 2011 was to follow in her footsteps and take a family picture of the 4 of us every single month for an entire year.  I'm excited to share that I did accomplish my goal and I loved the pictures so much that I used them as our Christmas card for 2011.

I also created a photobook in Shutterfly.  I'll be sharing that project tomorrow.  For 2012 I have a new photo documentary project that I'm also going to be sharing in the next few days.
