book I am working feverishly at completing. Bumped the price up about $40.

Wait- they do deals often

Never pay full price on photo books - just wait for a special

Btw I recommend the hard cover photo covers - the leather sucks ass

I always do the ones where I design the cover

Ok, good. I have a cover with pics so I guess that is what you mean?

Yes - good call. I do several of those per year.

I can't imagine doing too many!! This one is killing me!

51 pages so far for her first year. It has taken FOREVER!

Well - I do it instead of scrapbooks

It does take a while.

I have no idea what to do after this first year and then I have #2's first year.

I have like April - July or something

And then they don't get any more pics after that.

How many pages each?

I ditched the separate books for kids and went chronological

That is what I am thinking after the 1 year books.

Otherwise you run into issues of where to put pics with both kids in them

And duplicates...

But that means there will be a big gap between the end of her first year until I do a chrono of both.

IDK....

Depends on the months. We did a ton of travel in the summer, so those are really hefty

I suggest just chronological.

It's easy.

We lead such a boring existence... there wouldn't be much!!

But when to start? There will be such overlap with #2's first year

And I have to do a 1st year for him since I have this one for K

Yeah - just start with whatever month she was born

I'd just amend the baby's first year book to be like months 1-9

oh no... I am not changing this sucker!

You know - Jan - September 2011 or whatever

LoL!

It has taken way too long to get together! And she was born in July

Sets a much easier precedent, though....

Ok, so July 2010 - March 2011. Then start another book April 2011 - December 2011.

Then you don't have overlap issues. Just saying'..

hmmm. it is an idea.... gah. stupid july birthday, it makes things much more difficult than they need to be

#2 will be better about it with feb/march!

but i do love them having their own first year

It's the only way to go with several kids, man. There's no way I'd be doing 3 books for 3 kids...

i didnt expect them so close together!

All the more reason to do chronology... Otherwise the overlap is huge

I am thinking of just a 2012 and a baby specific for next year.... i will have to do them concurrently to avoid the overlap

once i finish this one. i may never do another

I recommend hardcover as well. I do see an offer for 30% off on the home page. I made a much appreciated alphabet book for our granddaughter

I should finish it today and hubs is going to do a thorough review to tell me what I did wrong and find out what's missing, so we should be

done by this weekend.
