A wee tradition.

Now, being a scrapbooker since Chookie was 6 weeks old I have pretty much documented everything she has ever done. When she turned 2 I had a years worth of wee shoes that I could hardly bear to part with so, naturally, I photographed them and made a page layout with all her vital statistics and a list of her favourite things. It's become an annual tradition and since she turned 6 last Thursday it's that time of year again. This first shot is pretty typical of the last few years' images but as her shoe fetish grows it's getting hard to get them all in shot!

I've tried a few different ways to squeeze all those wee shooz in one shot (some more successful than others!) and I think I'm most happy with this one. Any inspirational ideas are gratefully received! *grins*

    fab idea. I like the line up but for clarity I like the one where they fill the frame as you can see each shoe more clearly,

    Oops sorry - deleted the last comment! What I meant to say was - Don't let my DD see those shoes - she too has a "thing" for shoes.

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
