Call me sentimental. Call me nostalgic. I’m notorious for collecting keepsakes which capture moments in time with my little girl.
Here is one of my beloved sentimental mom creations.
The Monthly Photo
Every month, on the anniversary of my daughter’s birth, I take a picture of her. She’s almost three years old now and I love scrolling through her anniversary photos and seeing how much she’s changed.
One of my favourite mementos is the invitation I created for her first birthday. The front of the card included her anniversary snapshots for the entire year. The card was printed on glossy paper and many family members and friends kept the invitation as a special keepsake.
The pictures are in order from left to right… starting with her birth, through to her eleventh month. I intend to continue the practice of taking pictures on the anniversary of her birth – it’s like a photo diary that captures the development of this wonderful little person.
Do you take monthly anniversary photos of your child? If so, when did you stop?
SHARE WITH OTHERS
Aww! This is a very cute invitation idea and it’s an awesome keepsake for your daughter!
Thanks Charma (and thanks for stopping by my blog)! Yes… I’m all about the keepsakes, as you’ll see in the upcoming Sentimental Mom postings.
ohhh..you just gave me an idea to do one for my daughter eventhough she is just 7 months old but I think i have all her monthly snap shots to make a collage after when she turns 1 :) Thank you much!
