WOYWW

Happy Wednesday!  I remembered this week and hopefully won't be last in line again. Go visit Julia at Stamping Ground and come play with us hoping from blog to blog around the world sharing our desks and projects we are working on!

My desk this week is a mess but I am in the middle of making something for a young friend who just had her first baby last week. I had a left over 8"x8" pad of Graphic 45 Little Darlings paper and some chipboard bits so I thought that I would make her a baby book she could take to work to show her new baby off when she goes back.
I don't have a lot done...pages covered with paper, front of book laid out and partially glued down and a start on the first page or two.  I think I will make some pockets so she can mat up more then one picture on a page. 
I was rather surprised to find that most of this paper pad was blue and orangey pink so I think I will be forgiven for using those colors together.  Here is a picture of the new guy take by my husband...I am holding him but he doesn't look at all happy with it does he?  Robyn found out she was pregnant with little Danny at the same time Will and Kate found out they were expecting so we have all been following the royal pregnancy and waiting to find out what they had...boys must be in the stars this week cause last week 2 friends became Grandma's to little girls!
Here is the proud Mom and Dad...btw baby boy is III in the Daniel line and when parents wanted to put version 3.0 on the birth certificate rather then III they were told  it wasn't funny and couldn't be done...
So sweet!  T-shirt says Storm Chaser in training!  Dan and Robyn are both PhD meteorologists at the University of Oklahoma!

Well that is it for me so I will sign off and head back to the craftroom.  I am busy finishing up a few more of the ATC to mail out and hopefully all will be done this time next week.  I apologize but this summer has been amazing as far as getting things done in a timely manner!

  2. Aw that baby boy is just too sweet with his little storm chaser 't'. I called my DH over to take a look and he loved it! He took early retirement from teaching Maths this week, so more time for his hobby of star-gazing and weather watching! Love the beginnings of the baby gift. Julie Ann #17 x

  16. Hi Vickie,
    I love the vintage images of the album. What a sweet little babe - evidently the nurse didn't have a sense of humor. Version 3.0 sounds great to me!

    Peace,
    Kay

  21. I'm surprised by the colours in the pad, but I like them! Such a lovely gift Vickie, and also, relatively easy because you don't have the empathetic stress of the photos to position and worry about! He's a little darling, and I think it is funny and cute to have 3.0..honestly, some people just don't get it!!

  22. That is going to be a stunning album! I'm sure the new parents will be very pleased...I know how happy I would be! :) Version 3.0 sounds like it would have been very cute, give the kid something to hang his personality on, so to speak, right? ;) Thanks for stopping by my desk and leaving me a comment already! Are you thinking of going to the CK Scrapbook Convention when it comes to Tulsa in late August? Is it one you have been to and if so is it a good one to go to? If so maybe we can meet up and you can show this newbie the ropes! lol :) Hugs! Deeyll
