Capturing Memories + Bellflowers Giveaway!

We do not remember days; we remember moments.
~ Cesare Pavese

These are pictures of a photo wall that I had created when we celebrated baby Z’s first birthday back in March of this year. There were at least eighty pictures that showed him from birth up until the point of his birthday. My camera is always with me to capture our lifestyle and essentially our memories. Daddy wasn’t around for the first birthday, but he was definitely on the photo wall and capturing the celebration with these pictures enabled him to still enjoy the details and feel apart of that special day!

BellF
And with that said, let me introduce to the lovely ladies of BellflowerBooks.com! They are experts in capturing your memories beautifully! Their site, BellflowerBooks.com helps people to easily create meaningful gifts to celebrate special occasions like weddings, significant birthdays, new babies, anniversaries and retirements. So fun!

BellF1
Their website allows a group of people to work together to create a collaborative memory book full of letters and photographs. Their books are also perfect for documenting group/family vacations, childhood memories and for providing encouragement to people who are battling illness. The entire book is created online and professionally printed and bound. The end result is a beautiful 12 x12 hardcover book printed on 100 pound archival quality paper.

BellF3
A few more things about www.BellflowerBooks.com :
  • The company was started by two childhood friends.

Stacey, you have memories for a lifetime and beyond on your photo wall. By the way you and your husband look somewhat alike. There is a saying that stated that when couples live long together they grow to look like each other. Be blessed my dear!!

What sweet memories Stacey! And what a handsome hunk your husband is!! :)

You are so right, the days don't matter it's the treasured moments that do. They make life so precious and makes it so clear that each and every one of those moments count. If they don't teach us something valuable, they lead us towards our next step, or create a cocoon of memories in your hearts.

Big hugs to you!
