Well, 11 weeks and hundreds of work hours later... the book is finally done. We went a little above and beyond the pattern's instructions, choosing coordinating background fabrics for each page and hand stitching EVERYTHING (darn you Chelsea!). The result is a precious book that Marina better never get dirty or lose any of the pieces to (yeah right!) and many fabulous memories with some of my favorite friends. Thanks Becky, Chels and Laura, oh and sorry about any remarks that may or may not have been made at one in the morning. :) So, here are a few of my favorite pages...
Merry Christmas Marina, you better love this book forever... or else!

That is amazing. Good job. It looks great.
Wow. Good job! That's amazing! I HATE doing hand work. I'm all about the sewing machine, though.
Holy crap that thing is amazing. I would never attempt it and I even like to sew. Way to go.
It turned out so freekin cute!!!! You're one dedicated mommy, it is absolutely darling! Where did you guys get the pattern for it? It is by far the cutest one I have seen, I love it! You should feel so proud :)! Marina better not make a peep in sacrament meeting :)!
So cute! I want to see all the pages though! You gals are amazing. If Marina doesn't appreciate it now, when she is all grown up passing it onto her own daughter she certainly will! I love it!
