Preserving Kids Memories

I have recently found a new addiction....Pinterest. This website is seriously amazing!!! I have found many crafty ideas on there that I can't wait to try! I also have found many great recipes and all sorts of amazing stuff on there!! Anyways some of my most favorite ideas that I have found are related to kids stuff. I love taking pictures of my son and have came up with several ideas on my own on what to do with all of those pictures that I take as well as artwork etc that my son makes.

One of the things that I planned doing for my son even before he was born was making a photo album of pictures for each year. So far I've made two of them. His first year one turned out amazing! I love using online photo sites. For his first one I used Artscow.com. They have great prices but the only downfall that I had was that designing/making the photo book took FOREVER. Their photobook making software is to the easiest to use. But all in all the book turned out great!! For the 2nd book that I made I used shutterfly.com. I absolutely love this site!! It was so easy to make. ( took me about half the time then when I used artscow) And the best part is that if you can wait to order it you can usually find a coupon code for a free photo book( just pay shipping!) I plan on making a whole bunch of these and using them to display at his graduation.

I also plan on creating a display in our new house for Layne's artwork I have found an idea on pinterest that I just fell in love with and can't wait to put it up!! Here it is:

I just think this is ADORABLE!! I also really like the idea of making a photo book of your kids artwork too. ( If you can't tell I just love photobooks!!)
