With my oldest son I created a special book each year to document all of his firsts and how he changed over the year. I did this for the first 5 years then after that I just included the information in his school album or in my annual family book. I am a little bit behind for my twins :) I intend to get caught up with these ABC album kits! I am going to use the "boy" colour scheme kit which will be called "RUN" to catch up on Joshua's 3rd Year book (age 2-3), the "girl" colour scheme kit which will be called "SKIP" for Abby's and I am going to use the "neutral" colour scheme kit which will be called "JUMP" to complete my family year book for 2007. Other ideas for the kits could be:
1) ABC book of special people in your life - like a "monogram" type of book
2) words to describe events or people in an ABC format
3) ABC book of all of your favourite things or an "All About Me" book
The first part of RUN ABC Kit consists of 14 patterned papers. We are going to need a lot of papers if we are going to create a whole album using the same kit. We don't want every page to look the same right?!
14 Bright and Bold Patterned Papers
It's beautiful! Thank you:)

So sorry I'm behind and didn't get in on the voting, Pamela! Great idea and terrific color choices. This will be fun watching it evolve, and I love the names of the kits. You did it again with all your specialness!! [I know that's not a word, but I have a tendency to make them up if it suits my purposes.] BRAVA!!! Looking forward to seeing what's next. Thanks for everything, Melanie

Love it!! Thanks so much!! I worked on a 'memory' book for my Mom when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. So that is another use for one of these. Plus it would be great to make for anyone in an assisted living area :)
