Another multiple picture day. I loved capturing them opening their first wrapped gift above and just needed this pictures that are so them in the book.  I also wanted to capture the "reading" and joy of book day so I'm including the group shot as well.  All on the Left page - the first two will go across the top 3x5ish and the group shot near the bottom left 4x6. (The stars are Jillibean Soup ones that I rubbed with Brick Wall fluid chalk and spritzed with  Perfect Pearls Mist - Sunflower Sparkle, the star is from Maya Road, and the tag is Ormolu).
Right Page - "books" below will go in the pocket with this tag from the gifts.
Journaling: Books are an important part of everyday and every celebration in our family. Grandma B brought a book for each little one today, carefully wrapped which added to the fun.  She read each one, accompanied by M on the drum and B on the cowbell.  Then they shared one more favorite before Grandma said farewell. 
 In the evening, as we sat down for book time, I surprised them with two more wrapped books.   We read the new books and two others before tucking them in for book-filled dreams.  


The tag pocket above was fun to make.  I used more of the liquid chalk to turn the tag colors, then spritzed with the Sunflower Sparkle.  It was so quick and yet a complete transformation from the plain manila tag.  The Canvas star is from Jilibean and as with many of the goodies today just arrived in the mail! (Other Supplies: Tag is Elle's Studio, Number 7 is from Crate Paper, Tap is Amy Tan for AC, and I again used Mister Huey In Estate Green to color my stamps).


Will be cropped into "books" and added into pockets on the right

To be cut apart and added to the pocket on the right page
