Idea corner

Just thought I would share this...when we went the Ukrainian Angels reunion back in September and another family had brought something that I found very cool. Dad, made a book out of their blog! He had to reformat the blog onto a word document, but he did it very nicely with all of the pictures, and at the end of each entry (chapter) he even included all of the comments. It was so well done, and was really fascinating. All you have to do, is put it together how you want it, then take it to the Kinko's, or local printing shop and have them bind it for you. I think this is something I will do for the "first year home". Seems like a nice way to cherish these precious memories.

Another cheesy idea....I took a picture that Olena painted and framed it, then hung it in my kitchen. I got so many compliments, and many where surprised to find out that it was a painting done by her. Since everyone was so fond of her amazing artistic abilities :) I scanned a few of her best - and made a collage with the various painting, and then I printed them on high quality glossy paper, put them in a nice frame, and WA LA....instant gift for the grandparents. Hey the Holidays are right around the corner.
