Here are the posts from The.Heard.Herd blog regarding the b-day planning, cut and pasted so no one has to jump back and forth. Sorry if I missed any.
I am eager to get started on my page (actually I am supposed to be studying for one of my national exams, not messing around with blogs, scrap books of photo albums so really this is just a procrastination technique - I wouldn't want you thinking I'd turned over a new leaf...) Do we have parameters for the page - 8-11? thick or thin paper? limit to number of pages? do great grandkids get their own pages or do they stick with their parents? do hubby's get their own pages (Ando will want to know...)? -love amydaisy

Book Idea
I love the book idea Aly! Maybe people can just create their pages and we can put them in a photo album or some binder with those plastic sleeves. That way we won't have to pass a book around to everyone. And the latecomers can add their pages when they get to it (ahem, Amy!). The babies could do photos or handprints or babble to their parents who can dictate or translate (I'm not sure what in-utreo babies can do, but I'll leave that up to their parents -- ultrasound shots?). If people are on boat, I will organize this project. Snow predictions for Maine tomorrow (for those of you enjoying life in more southern climes) -- at least we have all our leaves raked, as of yesterday.
grammy's B'day
like Cathy, I'm still figring out the blog thing. posted this twice...once as a acomment
book and slide show could both happen. Mum loves the book cause she can access it anythime. but I think a slide show would be a great event we can all share.
I like repeating expanding on that original book with a page for each person ( can we have a page for the belly-baby?)
but maybe the slide show idea was more like a this-is your-life thing?
just thoughts

Grammy's bday
Someone mentioned the were creating a slide show for Grammy's bday, which is such a great idea! I had an idea for a present that might be a bit redundant now.
Remeber the book we made Grammy when we (all the cousins) were younger? Each of us had a page? She still has it (in Kezar Falls), looks at it regularly, and absolutely loves it (according to her). What if we did something like that again?
This time we could have page for every immediate-ish family member - from eldest child (Christine) to youngest great-grandchild (Noemi I think). It is a daunting - both from the logistics and the amount of people involved - project, but I think she would love it.
What do you think?
It is definitely the kind of project that will only work if everyone is one board and could simplified by having only families contribute pages, but how special is it if we each have our own? Any thoughts?
