Guys! I felt so good about the gifts that Andre and I gave this year. Everyone seemed really pleased, and we even saw some happy tears! It was amazing to give gifts that even pleased our 17 year-old niece and 13 year-old nephew. Those ages are the most difficult to shop for, so pleased teenagers are always an accomplishment.

One (or two rather) of my favorite gifts that we gave were the mini wedding albums I made our moms. I used a small 4x4 "Instagram album," purchased 4x4 wedding photos using mpix.com, and used a mini photo (2 inch by 2 inch slots) sleeve to add in our wedding buttons, which were our favors.

I titled the albums "Meet the Whitters," which I thought was really cute, and the moms loved that! I didn't get too scrapbook-y with them, though. I would have loved to have added more wording and notes, but I didn't have a lot of time to do so. I'm hoping to take more time with our full-size wedding/honeymoon scrapbook.

My biggest disappointment with the albums, was that the label that came on them ripped some of the color off from the front cover.







What were some of your favorite gifts this year, given or received?


xx,
