All Wrapped Up And Ready To Dance

These amazing books are now all dressed up and ready to journey to Wisconsin! Yay! What an amazing job you all did on these!! Here is how they look bound and wrapped.

Figaro the cat insisted on being in this photo with one of the books!

Here is the first book (1-25) - I'm Not 50:

Side view of the first book - Very chunky!Here is the second book - I'm 25 Times 2:
Side view of second book - super chunkyville!

Here is the cradle filled with goodies. It contains a 1958 memory book from Carol S. with world events that year, two vintage baby books with funny pictures and baby advice, a vellum quotes stacker, 3 gel pens, a pair of beautiful earrings made by Lynnette April, flower buttons, white pearl victorian style buttons, multicolored brads, a sweet sachet made by Maija, a mini vintage plastic baby doll from the 50's, three mini spools of ribbon and a Chocolove chocolate bar.

Here is the cradle of gifties all wrapped up with the OH BABY YOU'RE 50 tag on it:

Here is book number 1 all wrapped up. It has a tag on it with the word "wish" and the number "1" stamped on it, as she should open this one first.

Here's the second book all wrapped up. It has a tag that says "Happy" and the number 2 stamped on it, to open second:

And here is all three presents - both books and the cradle of gifties - all together before they went into the shipping box. I sure hope she loves these! There was a whole lot of love that went into these books!!!
