11.11.11 Layout

On Friday 11th 2011 I took 11 photographs (I actually took more but just used 11 of the best) to remember this day.

I had already decided on using some papers and letter stickers from the Basic Grey's Basic White collection.

I went to the Doctor's in the morning (why there is a box of tissues above the journaling block) and was given the week off work so I could use my DSLR to take photos throughout the day and I added the time they were taken too.

I was going to have "11.11.11" as my title but the letter set only had two "1's".

I wasn't too worried about the photographs being slightly off size - I cut them to squares so I could use a grid design.  It's sort of like "A Day in My Life"

Last Sunday

 We had this quite little baby for a few hours.  He has a nice thick new coat and is always full of smiles and contagious giggles.

 Need juice.... need juice....

 And falls asleep.  He gave me lots of time to try out my new camera.

 Waking up, and Aunti Jeni is waiting to help him up.

 Uncle Aidy came around for a while. Baby Layne was sitting on his lap, I left the room for about 5 seconds to get a tissue for the dribble and he starts crying!!!  We did have a few tears but he is teething.

So happy crawling all over grandma and getting special 'Grandson' hugs from her.

In 2 months he turns the whole big age of ONE year old.

Today is 11-11-11

What are you planning on doing?

I am planning on taking 11 photographs to scrapbook for this once in my lifetime day.

But should I only use photographs from 11:00 to 11:59 (which would actually be 11:45 since I have to leave for work then).

Or use photographs from throughout the day....

I have a sketch in mind for this layout - not sure about colors.  Maybe black and white photographs??  Ooh, that would be good.  A graphic black and white layout.  I have some supplies from Basic Grey's Basic White Collection that would look cool.

So, what are you planning on doing?

Florence

The drive into Florence took a LOOOOONG time.  I think we were stuck in traffic for about 2 hours - I really didn't notice the time because I was catching up on my journaling.

My other photographs from Florence were taken on my SLR camera - I will get those photographs on here soon.

What I'm Reading Right Now

James Patterson's Black Market.  I've read it before in NZ.  I've been thinking about how it still seems relevant now - a stock market crash worldwide - it was first published in 1986.
