Scrapbook for Geduli

I have a niece , a 3 month old bundle of joy and a sister in law who is every bit enthusiastic about recording and treasuring each moment of her growing up (and rightly so!All kids should have that!) and hence began the search for the perfect journal to put up her pictures in.

Her name is gedul. Pet name ofcourse.In the real world she goes about by the name of Saanvi but no one calls her that yet and it has been kept at the distance of being the formal name which will kick in strongly once she starts school! 

Gedul has had the fortune of 1) having a mother who clicks pictures every blink of her eye and 2) her mami getting a DSLR as an anniversary present from Mamu. Both of the reasons contributing to her having numerous interesting pictures.

A lot of options were looked at online and in stores but we werent satisfied with what we saw. So both of us decided to make a scrap book ourselves.The decision made easier by the fact that the Mami is a designer. 

So off we went to the market , to get handmade paper , some left from years of my being in the "Design" profession and ribbons and glue sticks , and paper strips , and all that the eye could see in the store.

The beginning of the scrapbook looks like this...It also helps me begin one of my bucket list tasks of giving handmade gifts to family , though I must admit that the actual beginning was long time back.I still remember I had flooded my sisters cupboard with numerous cards on her birthday , with silly messages ofcourse and then had a grouse that she dint read and enjoy all of them.Good 'ol days!!

Let this be a happy thought with which geduli's Scrapbook takes shape and may her life be filled with more happiness than all the adults around her have ever seen.

I shall be posting more pictures soon !
