So my husband went to Denver a couple of weeks ago on a guys weekend trip. There was a lot of hiking, meat eating, and off roading.. and in between all of that, he took the time to pick out a few gifts for me. (Super sweet, right?) He knows me so well because I think these books are AMAZING.
Let me tell you about each one:
Book #1
104 Things to Photograph
This book is a method of checking off a list. Under each space, where a photo would be, is what the picture should be taken of. Some suggestions are literal, where as others are more interpretative. If you want to be punny (see what I did there?) you can be creative with the more “literal” subjects.
Examples of subjects:
- messy hair
- a bald spot
- incognito
- today’s date
- a long time
- what’s in your pocket
There are multiple slits that can accommodate multiple sizes, and that’s how your photos are held into the album. I have yet to start on this project, and I’m really looking forward to it!

Book # 2
Hand – Lettering Ledger
This book is my favorite of the two! (Maybe even favorite interactive book ever!) I’ve always been into hand-lettering (even though it never turned out the way I wanted it to), and now I can learn to do it the right way. The author, Mary Kate McDevitt, does an amazing job of explaining what hand-lettering is, what types there are, as well as the terminology. There are multiple pages of practicing the different types step by step, and in addition, there are over 100 pages of blank practice pages! I’ve only scratched the surface of this book, and I’m already head over heels in love.
If you want to know more about this book and look at a few of the beautiful pages (bonus!!), you can go to Mary Kate’s website here.
