saraya's first scrapbook

i love scrapbooking but without a dedicated space to work, it's happening less often.  pulling everything out and setup just takes so long that by the time i'm ready to start, pandi's waking up from her nap or i'm ready to take one!  i really wanted to have her first book done in time for her birthday party though so i managed to deal with the inconvenience (as well as a little wine spill from the mr.) and finished her first (of hopefully many) scrapbooks.

i took it to the birthday party so that everyone could see it and then asked all the guests to write a message on some colorful paper for me to include in her next book.  our family and friends are so talented and we felt very blessed that she'll be able to look at these special wishes one day and know how loved she is!  here's just a sampling...

it's not as cool as seeing it in person but here are the pages for those who haven't had a chance to check it out...
