Mini Me.

While this is not the most flattering post-baby photo of me ever, I'm still glad that the hubs sneaked a photo of me sleeping with our little lady when she was still itty bitty because it shows perfectly how similar we are in our mannerisms.  To say this kid is a mini me is truly the understatement of the century.  Since the moment she was born, she has been like a little reflection of me.  Back when she was a baby, it was mostly just mannerisms.  These days, it's the whole shebang.  She looks like me, she talks like me, she walks like me, and I swear she even thinks like me.  I have not yet decided whether this will be an advantage or a hindrance come the teen years... ;-)

So here's a layout memorializing those early similarities.  I love my mini me. :) Thanks for having a look!

(PS.  When you leave here, stop over to Terhi Koskinen's blog for a fantastic way to get natural lit photos of your work...I wish I had seen her post prior to photographing this project, as it would have eliminated the shading in the lower left of my page, but I will definitely be using her technique on future layouts!)

I pulled out my Sew-Easy kit to do the stitching across the top of the page.  I don't get as much use out of it as I thought I would, but it does help to perforate the paper in the stitch design of your choosing and definitely makes poking the needle through a lot less of a pain (literally).
