I LOVE Pinhole Press

There's certainly no shortage of online companies that produce photo books, stationery and other items that show off your personal photos. But I'd have to say one of my favorites is Pinhole Press. I discovered the company while reading one of my favorite blogs - A Cup of Jo.

Pinhole Press offers unique, high-quality photo products. Martha Stewart even teamed up with the company to produce story books.

My Pinhole Press wish list includes a photo book, large day planner, photo magnet, photo journal and I'm crazy about the big book of names and faces.

Take a look at their site and let me know what you would add to the list!

A Neat Story

Today I'd like to share with you what I think is a pretty neat story. The picture below is my baby book. The baby book my mother and father kept for me. It was purchased just months before my birth during a trip my mom took to New York.









One day in June while working at 2nd helpings, I was dusting off some books to sell, and I came across a baby book. Not just any baby book. A Metropolitan Museum of Art baby book identical to mine. I just had to buy it.







I remember telling a co-worker, "I'm not pregnant, but I have to buy this baby book because it is the same one my mom kept for me."

Well little did I know, I WAS pregnant. The very next morning I took a pregnancy test. Since several previous months' tests came back negative, I wasn't expecting anything. But sure enough, on June 4th, the test displayed the word - pregnant!

I think coming across the baby book foreshadowed what I was about to learn. Now my daughter and I share matching baby books!
