Baby book on the cheap

I checked out the prices of baby books for my daughter who is expecting in Jan 2013 and I found the prices too high and the insides were not so cute so I made my own. I purchased a 200 page art journal at Omer DeSerres and gesso the front and back and the middle spine then painted it blue because she's having a baby boy....oh I can't wait. And since she is doing the babies room in Winnie the Pooh theme, I painted Winnie on the front. I took captions from all of my kids baby book and added a few of my own along with an extensive Family tree that includes all uncle's, aunts, siblings, year they were born and where so that in years to come we won't have to loose this info. Anyhow I presented it to my daughter for her shower and she absolutely loved it.
