Good Luck. <br /><br />This post is wonderful... your daughters are adorable & their books are fantastic! Laura did a fantastic job setting up the photo shoot! I enjoyed doing things like this w/ my boys when they were younger. They're too cool to enjoy things like this now. If only I could convince them that playing w/ fire is macho. :o) <br /><br />What a sweet family... 4 kids...busy mom!! The baby collage was a kick. <br /><br />Off to check out your OWOH offerings!! <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Julie (OWOH #155) <br />http://creditriverartglass.blogspot.com "Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221276633007449384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23756147.post-31943761017722907922010-01-29T07:55:30.620-06:002010-01-29T07:55:30.620-06:00Love your blog, and the "baby collage" o...Love your blog, and the "baby collage" of the little one is a hoot! your kids are so lucky to have such a creative mom!!Diannehttp://artbeneaththecottonwoods.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23756147.post-21777536256096033192010-01-29T06:38:45.884-06:002010-01-29T06:38:45.884-06:00Great book idea.

I always struggle with how to let them "play" while I'm creating...we've certainly had scissors cut into things they weren't supposed to!<br /><br />And oh wow - a baby collage. So creative, so adorable, so fun...I know if my 2 year old had the opportunity, she'd turn herself into one!

Now they can make them more professional and artsy looking. They will be very pleased with the end result. It will be something they can always treasure.<br /><br />Please tell Laura she did an excellent job on the photo shoot. I wouldn't have known a child did it if you had not mentioned it. She has her mama's eye for design.<br /><br />I had a good laugh when I saw that they collaged the baby. He seemed to enjoy it. He'll be into your papers before you know it.<br /><br />Excellent tute, Shona. Thank you so much.
