Jul. 20, 2006 - Excellent gift ideas – part two

It has been easy for me to find gifts that Stacy has given to our family to show off because Stacy is a very thoughtful gift giver!  A gift that she (and her family) gave to my second born son for his second birthday is definitely one of my favorites.  It is a book that Stacy’s whole family worked on together where Luke is the star. 

In order to make this amazing book, Stacy first had the foresight to take thoughtful pictures when our families were at the county fair together.  She then compiled and cropped them (as any good scrap-booker would do) in a way that tells a story.  Stacy then employed her husband and children to come up with the story that would go along with the pictures.  The end product is a wonderful picture book that has been read over and over again by all (and to all) my boys complete with rhymes! 

Here is a picture of the front cover of the book:

And here is a picture of one of the pages inside:

This gift to could be done well for a number of different people and a number of different occasions.  But for kids especially because as we all know they love to be the star.  They read books about others’ adventures all the time; it is so special for them to read a good story about one of their own adventures.  I don’t think our family will ever grow bored by reading this classic treasure.  Thank you Stacy, Mark and kids!
