I made this layout ages ago, and I love it. Not sure why I never got around to sharing it. This picture came from my “Weekly Rita” photo series from Allie’s first year. She was 35 weeks here, or not quite 9 months. The chair I always photograph her on sits in front of a window that gets lots of …
Hand Print Christmas Ornament
