.abc book.

.as requested by rachel, here is a blog post about the abc book i made.

.i made it first for my niece for christmas, and have been wanting to make b one ever since.

.and than when we moved to texas, and i realized b was starting to forget people's names, i KNEW i had to make it soon.

.and than a free $20 from shutterfly coupon came in the mail.

.sweet.

.i put it off, and put it off, and put it off, and than realized the coupon was suppose to expire in like 3 days.

.so i worked like mad, and ordered it the evening the coupon expired.

.b has NOT seen it yet, she will find it in her easter basket on sunday....but i LOVED how it turned out.

.i did brooklynn's book a little bigger than i did my nieces...and i LOVE it.

.so i made it on shutterfly. when you look at the books there is one that already has the letters and called the abc book or something like that...i DID NOT know this for lily's book, and it took me FOREVER.... thank goodness i found it for Brooklynn's. 

.brooklynn's book STILL took me right around 4-5 hours AT LEAST. 

.i wanted to scrapbook the book for her, but lets me real, i am NOT crafty....so i made it online.

.anyways. lucky for b, she has a good amount of cousins and uncles, etc....so finding words for some of the letters was easy.

.so here are the pages i did. they would of been fancier, and prettier, but thats what i get for procrastinating.

.so here is the front of the book. nothin fancy.

.and i just started with words we use everyday.....you can do more words if you want.

.i did a BMW car because we call Brooklynn "beamer" because her initials are BMW.

.so i did ALL family for the people except...derek...who IS family....he was over ALL THE TIME when he lived in idaho....and he is known as uncle derek....brooklynn would ask and still does, "where's derek?"

.and Ellie Turner and Ellie Leder, only because these were the 2 friends who saw brooklynn and played with her forever...these 2 were brooklynn's first 2 friends.

.i should of did IDAHO as well for "i" because thats where she was born...but i didnt think of it, until now.

.you trying thinking of more "q" words! lol

.ronnie i KNOW your going to LOVE this picture, but i had ZERO in full quality...so this is what you get :)

.we did texas because there is where we currently live.

.and utah because there is where gma/gpa westensee live and ronnie.

.and washington for gma/gpa mcdonald and because mommy and daddy grew up there.

I combined XYZ because i was SICK of thinking of things :)

Anyways...if you have any questions let me know. It was FUN and now i have ALOT more ideas for what i want to do..just dont have the time right now. or desire. lol.
