Every week, one child in Kara's classroom is chosen as 'Star of the Week'. Basically, they get to sit on a special chair, take the class teddy and turtle home, make classroom decisions (which books to read, games to play etc) and they need to present a poster of their lives......
It's the last part that's proven difficult.
I love taking photos of Kara ~ just in case you hadn't noticed LOL. I have about 18 000 of her since she was one (when I got my first digital camera) and another 2000 or so from birth to one.... we had to choose about 35-40 of these to fit them onto a poster.
I printed off about 150 and gave them to Kara to cull ~ to give her some say in what she wanted on there. I even asked her dad for some pics from his wedding to add (it is part of her life afterall but I am proud of myself for doing that pmsl). Well, after Kara culled, we were down to 147. She removed 3 photos ~ they were 3 of my favs lmao.
Anywayyyyyy, after much compromise, we cut down and shrank as many as we could fit and put the remaining 100 odd into an album for her to take. I tried to do a good range but it really is soooo hard to choose from so many.
This is what it looks like ~ it's like Where's Wally lmfao.... so many photos.

Hey Vanessa,
I just love it! I bet no other Mum has put in the work you guys have.
It looks divine and I started laughing to myself when I saw what I've decided to call the 'Look into my eyes' picture. That one keeps drawing me in. I'm sure Kara will grow up to be a hypnotist.
How's the new job by the way? Have you started?
Em
OMG V you put me to shame! I dont think I would have that many good photos to put on a page like that!
It is gorgeous-you guys did a great job.
Awwwwww you guys are all so so so nice ~ thanks so much.
In all honesty though, it's so easy to do. I literally cut one pic at a time and glued until there was no space..... I do love it though and might laminate it for K to keep.
