Haven't written in a while, if only because this baby thing is time consuming, along with the other hundred things on my daily and weekly lists. And while this blog is supposed to an annual compilation of random yet important thoughts and observations about being a mom to little V, I secretly have got caught up in another similar project - the annual photobook.
I am somewhat obsessed with taking pictures - ask anyone - I am always snapping away and up until a few years back, would get photos printed and put them in labelled albums (yes, there is type A popping up again...).
Fast forward to the last year or two, and photobooks have become the latest rage. Now after an important trip or event, I resort to amassing all my photos and putting my best creative input forward to produce amazing photobooks. My sites of preference? Definitely mypublisher.com and more recently, shutterfly.com. which brings me to my current project...the annual photobook.
Essentially, I made a commitment to myself that I would document Vanessa's first year in photos and thought it made the most sense to start building the book, as the year progresses, so I would not be overwhelmed by the volume of photos and how to organize the whole thing, at the end of the year. So while I should be spending hours on composing content for this blog about little V, I am now spending hours on this yearbook. Part of the all consuming nature of the project is because it is really about more than photos - you can put in stories, captions, and even scrapbook pages with virtual stickers and cut-outs. Yes, I am officially obsessed with it.
