Summer To do list: Send Celia photos and videos for Mom's gift.

Remember a book you all put together through Joseph for me in 2009?   Two ideas come to mind that I'd like to work on:  a Family Movie (there is a wee precedent for these) and a hand bound book of photos and scanned letters, notes, jokes etc.  We can all participate in content and layout. as much as each person wants, or not.  I'll do a hard-bound perfect binding (that's what it's called) on the book, and cut together an amateur video with the footage you send me.

Now, if you are saying, "Darn!   I wanted to do that.  That was my idea."  Well.....GREAT!   Call me. Maybe it's your baby. 

Please send first round of photos/footage by early August for proof of concept.

  1. Thank you - I thought it might be fun if I dragged out that old photo of the grandchildren from Dad's 70th party at Colette's and could make a print to give each grandchild (or not) and then create a new photograph for Mom's 80th. I can also just send it if that's preferred. I might also work on a poem (or perhaps the poem could be a collaborative effort?) set to a familiar tune that maybe we could all sing? for Mom. xo Bee

  2. I love the "as we grew older" theme...since it applies to all of us. It's fun to see change over time. Your photo (don't recall it...) can be in the book and mounted.

  3. You could also do a page or pages yourself, and we send to me to add into the folio and sew into the book. Size not yet decided.
