Friday Finds: What Caught My Eye This Week

design finds on mollymooI've been a bit MIA on MollyMoo for the past two weeks, every now and then I loose a bit of my mojo and need to step back and recharge the batteries a bit.

Mini Photo Books – Molly’s Birthday Book

It was MissMolly's birthday two weeks ago and her wish was to spend the day with her closest buddies, no big party... phew!! Getting her to stick to 'what to do' on the day wasn't quiet so easy however - she was flip flopping for weeks! So the week before her special day I popped her in the car and we drove around to visit a few places, sampled the delights of a few dessert menus (my favourite part) and eureka we had a plan.... "I defiantly want to do that mom". Looking through the cute photos I had captured on my iphone later I thought it might be really sweet to create a little keepsake photo book for each of the girls, a little album that they can return to in years to come when they're super mature and feeling nostalgic. when Molly handed them out this week the messages of delight that came through from the girls and their moms were great - they loved having 'their own little book'. I will defiantly be doing this again so Molly will have a series of mini books for those special milestones ahead. Happy Days!! Links to recommended online providers at the end of the article
