It's been tooo long since I've posted something on here...I've been dying to post this little book I made for my mom (well, actually I made three - one for my SIL and myself too), but I had to wait until after I gave it to her. My sister-in-law and I bought three round trip tickets and a hotel stay in NYC for my mom and of course for us - Mandy (SIL) and myself! It was a surprise for Mom for Christmas. We wanted to make her guess what her gift was so I made this little keepsake book for her (and one for Mandy and me!) and wrapped it up and gave it to her for Christmas. It took her a few pages, but by the end she had it figured out! :) Here are a few of the pages as well as a pic of Mom and a pic of Mandy opening their books!

| Mom has figured it out!!! She was shocked - my little brother's comment to me was "great one, you about gave her a heart attack!" Perfect - we got the reaction we were looking for! She was shocked! |

The weekend of our trip is almost here, and we can't wait! It's going to be a great girls getaway! More pictures to post when we return! :)
What a neat idea Lisa! I am really jealous! I've always wanted to visit New York. Hope you gals have lots of fun. Take lots of pictures.
