We have a birthday coming up soon, so I am working on the next in our kids’ birthday books series! I do this for our kids each year, and I cherish it! We finalize and order these books after each birthday, to look back over the past year and record milestones, favorites, and special events.
Pictures Tell a Story
Because we don’t regularly print pictures, unless we are using them in a frame or for a special project, all of these pictures that we take do not go anywhere other than on a screen! I make these books so we can look back and see how much he grew in the past year, interests, and even special stories that impact his life. Because the years pass by so quickly, I don’t want us to miss it! They are also my way of “holding on” to special artwork and writings. I take a picture of the artwork and include it either as a background or a photo. Then, for most I discreetly discard the original. The artwork goes along great with the story I am trying to tell of their lives!
These kids we are blessed to raise- I’m talking about you and me- are a gift! Each year we unwrap the gift of who God made them to be! These books…they tell that story in a beautiful way. Also, these books help our kids see that they are made uniquely by God. They can see that they are works in progress, and God is not finished with them yet. Each child’s life is a story waiting to be told! I love using photography to tell that story, and these birthday books are a gift I love to give. Read more about how I put them together HERE.
