Comments #4- Jennifer T, who said, “I already like you, thanks to my good friend Courtney Jade sharing you with me. ” Congratulations Jennifer T!” ***
I’d like to first start off by welcoming any one who has just joined my blog. (Don’t worry, you haven’t missed out on too much! You can check out all of my previous entries under my “Archives.” It will be ONE year in May since I started blogging!) Secondly, I’d like to thank the wonderful and amazingly talented girls at Hostess {with the Mostess} and the TomKat Studio for featuring my recent work. The response has been amazing! I couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you Jenn, Kim, and Toni for being so kind to me, it means the world to me!! Lastly, I’d like to thank my LOYAL followers for supporting me, referring your friends to me, and for all the wonderful support you’ve given me, even before I had a blog to share with the world. I truly have gained some amazing friends through this process and I couldn’t feel more blessed.
**I also made a few quick updates to my blog. I made it easier for you to find me on facebook. Please go to facebook and “LIKE” me {because you know I like you}. I’m feeling sad only having 100+ friends. You can also check me out on twitter, I’m making a conscious effort to tweet more. You can NOW also subscribe to my RSS feed really easy!!! **
So. . . now that all the mushy stuff is out of the way, I’d like to share with you something I designed recently! As many of your know, my brother-in-law, Ryan (check out You Look Nice Today Photography and tell him I sent you!) is a professional photographer. We are lucky to have him take our family photos several times a year. I always have a ton of shots that I display in a large photo arrangement on my wall, but I’m never sure what else to do with them.
I’ve been drooling over these mini Accordion Photo Books for months now (who am I kidding, at the rate it takes me, it could be years. So much to design, so little time! Oh, the story of my life. Yours too?). I finally designed one and can I just say that I LOVE it!!! Yes, I LOVE it. I keep it in my purse and every time I look at it, it makes me smile.
I created a calendar out of mine, but I am planning on designing ones with all photos. What a better way to display some of your most cherished photos. The good news is, they are pocket size and fit nicely in your purse. The cover and back have a magnet in them to keep them closed too. How cool is that? They also make great gifts for mothers, mother-in-laws, etc.
I’ll have these available in my shop shortly with all the details. They come in sets of three so get one for yourself and share the rest. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
xoxo,
Jessica

When I’ve got time, they go into scrapbooks!
PS – I’m loving your work and the beautiful calendars!!! Thanks for all the inspiration.
Your creative side is just beyond words. Everything is perfect! With 3 little boys, I seem to always be taking pictures. Most of the time, they stay on the computer, waiting so patiently for me to do something with them. However, I do like to change out pictures from the frames throughout the house and update them. BUT… I LOVE to send out photo cards and use the boys’ handsome faces to say our Hello’s! I would love to have a mini calendar to keep with me throughout the year to show them off as well! Please Keep Inspiring!
All of my photos get framed and put up all over the house. I swear, people probably think I’m crazy with all the frames we have around.
I already like you, thanks to my good friend Courtney Jade sharing you with me.
Jessica! I love all your projects/Ideas! You constantly amaze me with your stuff! These calendars are SO lovely!!! I have SO many pictures that I have yet to go thru, but once I have the chance to sit down and do so, I’m going to make a couple photo books, highlighting special moments… and I plan on doing one for Emma’s 1st year. I can’t wait! xoxo
PS: We’re already FB friends
I “tweeted” a link to the giveaway – yay!
I enlarge a lot of photos to display in our home. Others go into our blog for our blog book, Project Life {a picture a day} and digital scrapbooking. LOVE this calendar idea! Want one. Or three. (:
I “liked” you on facebook.
You are AMAZING, I don’t know how you accomplish all that you do with those three SPECIAL BOYS. I wish I could do so much. I need to get the pictures I have made into scrap books. I know Grandpa Ron would be so pleased if I could get that accomplished, but I can’t find enough hours in the day. Guess I have too many other things going…Gugs
Guess I din’t look close enough and my Hugs turned out Gugs…Sorry bout that…
I love this idea! They are so clean and cute. I have special photos on my wall, some in scrapbooks, and most on my computer. I wish I had more out and about.
I like you oon facebook! Happy to do so. These are so cute.
I love the accordion calendar! I try to display my kids’ pictures in as many places as possible, but am running out places. With the calendar I’d be able to take photos with me to share!! Even if I don’t win one (or 3) I can’t wait to see them on your etsy!
You are so incredibly talented, so glad I found you through Courtney! I have been working on blowing up and framing a bunch of my cherished pictures and doing a photo montage on my living room wall! I love photographs and like to see a lot of them at once
I just liked you on Facebook!! Very happy to be following you on there too, that way I don’t miss a beat
I just posted on Facebook about your giveaway
I linked Modern Moments Design in my post, but it didn’t show up on your wall for some reason.
I don’t see it either? Weird???? I’m not sure why not. Thank you so much though!
Well I don’t just Like you on FB, I Love ya too!!!
Just posted about the giveaway on my FB page and for people
to check you out!!
I would use this as a wonderful birthday gift for my mom,
as her b-day is in Feb or a cute valentine present for her from my
3 boyz.. their pictures will fill the entire book! or I could have
it made for my sis in CA so she can see us all yr long!
They are displayed in frames on the wall or scrapbooked!
These are super cute Jess! Great idea! I would love to tote one around in my purse with me to help me keep my weeks straight!
And P.S. I already “like” you on FB too! I love your bday party displays!
I would put it in my purse to show the hard of seeing photos that don’t show up as well on my phone.
I love these,they are so cute! My pictures hang out on my computer! LOL. I just had Twin Boys in August and would love one of these to have in my purse to show off their pictures to people.
I “like” you on facebook too! I actually found your site from a friend on facebook! SO cute!
Great way to keep up with dates and still have pictures of the kids to show people! Love your products…I found you through a facebook friend!
Love love love!
Hi Jessica! Oh my gosh, these are FABULOUS! I’m an old black and white photo fanatic. I have a large framed corkboard in my keeping room and post old family pics and new ones that I’ve converted to b & w. I’d love to make an accordion calendar using all the “vintage” family photos I’ve collected over the years…my grandfather as a young sailor (oh so handsome), my grandmother as a new mom with a shiny satin ribbon in her hair (she was 17 and beautiful!!), my mom with her brothers and sisters (girls resplendent with bouffant hair-do’s, as their mom was a hairdresser), beautiful old christening photos, first communions and weddings…the list goes on and on! What a treasure to keep and share, long after 2011.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas and finds!
~Mia
P.S. I like you on facebook…and in real life too, lol.
I would love to get one of these. I would display all my family/kids photos that are not currently framed and hanging on the walls.
I already “like” you on facebook.
I shared your page with all my facebook friends and I know some already marked “like”. I just love all your items.
Jessica
You sure have skills! I have been seeing your work on fb for quite sometime but love your website. Congrats on all your success! I would be happy to share with my friends about your work.
All my best,
Lindsey
Um, most of my pictures sit on my camera…until I download them…and then they sit on my computer. I’m terrible about pictures!
Oh, and I liked your page
I only scrapbook online. I’m too lazy to actually do it with physical supplies! Jessica I don’t know how you do it all. You have such a creative side, manage a business and a family at the same time……when I grow up I wanna be just like you!!
Already a fan of yours on fb!
We’re waiting on the approval of our new house so we’re
living with my parents.. space is CRAMPED so all of my pictures are
put in storage. Makes me sad I can’t see our sweet family pictures!
I’d love one of these cute things. When I have a house, pictures
will be throughout the house of course. xoxo
I have a gazillion photos..I get them straight to the album
with the intention of scrapbook them but that part never
happens!
OH and PS……..shared your link on FB.
I love scrapbooking my photos.
I liked you before the give away!
I invited all my female facebook friends to “like” your
site.
I have great plans/ideas for all my photos but honestly most of them are either on the computer, on a CD, or still on the camera. It is always a “to do” item.
I am “Friends” with you already. Of course!
Love the calender! Am a photographer and like printing out
Also, I “like” you on facebook now…and my
my most cherished moments 6x6cm on an A2 canvas, all black and
white! I love the feel it generates! They make great gifts for
loved ones as well

answer and the whole time it was me
on memory card, then download to comp where they are nicely file
din folders, some make to Fb and that is the most people ever see
of them…
Hi! I know the contest to win the free calendar is over…BUT I just wanted to leave a comment to let you know how much I adore the calendar. This is such a cute idea…a pocket-size calendar with personal photos. I’ll be sharing this one on my blog.
