Sticky Bellies milestone photos

The best thing about taking photos of your baby is watching them grow. One idea is to take a photo at the beginning of each month or the birthdate of each month so you can record your baby's growth over the first year of their life. To make this job easier is Sticky Bellies, milestone stickers that you simply stick to your baby's clothes to help you visually record their monthly growth. 

Each pack comes with 12 removable stickers for each month of their first year. All you need to do is dress your baby, stick on the sticker for that month and take a photo. Great for adding to baby record books or for the photo book you may be planning. What a great idea!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Our gorgeous World of Thanks North American Card Kit has been included in the Women in Business Christmas Gift Guide. I love these card kits so much that I've already stocked up a pile for my own gift giving this Christmas. And what a perfect time to receive a Thank You card making kit, with all those Christmas gifts to be thankful for. 

In fact we love them so much at The Memory Shelf that we've added another one to our shop. Take a look at World Of Thanks African Habitat.

Looking for other gift ideas? The Women in Business Christmas Gift Guide has plenty of fab products for Him, Her and Kids. My favourite pick is the iphone App Magnets. Love them! And I know the perfect person to give them to.

Memolio your photos

I love taking photos of the kids, but sorting through all the digital photos can be a real pain. My general rule about managing digital photos is delete, delete, delete. And the sooner the better!

Creating a photo book is a great way to look back at your favourite photos, as well as being a great gift idea. When my son turned one I had great fun pretending to be a designer and putting together a gorgeous photo book that was printed professionally into hardcover book. My parents received one as a gift and I always wished I had made a second copy for myself. So I think this will be my next project. One for each child representing their first five years of their lives.

If you're looking for something different though, you could try creating a Memolio of your photos. I came across this online business a little while ago and it really intrigued me. 

Memolio turns your photos into a mini album that you can easily carry with you for all those showing off moments. Memolios are designed to be handled and are made of water proof and tear resistant material.

A great way to create a mini album of special events or people in your lives. You can start by creating one online that you can share or keep private. If you like how it looks get one printed (or two or three!). Memolio currently has free shipping worldwide. How great is that!

I'd love to hear how you store your photos so leave a comment or send me an email.
