A Practical Christmas For All

We never complain when receiving gifts, but nothing beats giving gifts. Jay and I have an ongoing system of gift giving -- practical gifts for him and non-practical for me always seem to work. This season practical gifts seemed to be our mantra. Jay and I were busy before the 12 days of pages and Christmas countdown creating a much overdue wedding album. 164 pages and countless gruelling hours staring at a monitor later we completed the task. From the sounds of things our parents couldn't be happier. We were so pleased to give them a final gift to thank them for everything they did to make our wedding a reality. We had a blast creating the album thanks to the wonderful images our photographers and friends, Enna and Matt Graizer, shot during the event. Thanks to their amazing photography, I was even able to surprise Jay with an album I designed from our engagement shoot.

Since we can't share the books with you here, the least we can do is show you the covers of each of the albums.

Now the holidays have gone by, I've found some time to work on my own. One of the drawbacks happens to be how easily I find myself getting distracted while in front of the computer all day. One of the most impressive finds Jay and I made over this week has to have been our very own house captured by Google's Street View. I guess no one will have an excuses now if they can't get to our house on time!
