Our Book

BabyDavison

Ok mamas... I've had limited feedback so I'm going to post my plan at this point and please make any suggestions you would like.

1) If you want to add or update your story, please do so by March 31.  I suspect that this will take me about a month to complete so, if you post your stories within the next two weeks, we should be good.

2) I need a cover photo and it has to be high resolution & pretty good quality.  Please let me know if you have a photo of your babies that would fit the bill- something that can be easily enlarged to book cover size.

3) I think we'll need more pics of your LO's.  Please add as many photos as you like to the Oprah Blog and I can add them to your story page in the book.

That's it for now. If you want your story added and don't have access, email me at natcf at hotmail and I can add it for you.

The blog addy is: www.oprahmoms.blogspot.com.

Cheers!

Hey girl -?

I will update my story and add a photo or two.

I of course just got high res pics of my boys during their photo shoot (see siggy) but I don't assume our book wants the mono studs on the freakin cover - I'd rather see Brook's girls (not sure if she's in the blog??), or Peakay's boys.?

BabyDavison

Umm.. I would LOVE the mono studs on the cover They're gorgeous!!

I was thinking the same about S&C but Brook was still pregnant when she posted on the blog.  I thought instantly that the S&C pro pics with the Tutus would be perfect but I would like her permission before using them...  is anyone in touch with her regularly?

The other image that comes to mind is the PK triplets as newborns all snuggled up on feathers... so cuuuute!

What do you gals think?

I will definitely get to updating in the next 2 weeks and I will ad a few more photos as well. If anyone needs to add their story they can email me at jmdavey2005@msn.com and I can add their story to the blog for them as well.

I second what Sweater said about Brook's girls... maybe we can use them as cover pic- didn't you say that the profit to the book was going to her or did I just think I read that somewhere?

BabyDavison

Maybe someone can ask Brook if we could use the image?

I like the Brook idea, but if she isn't on board - maybe instead of one big high-res photo, someone could make a collage of ALL our kiddos.

Could you please futher explain for those of us who don't know what this is? I was pregnant and still working when this whole Oprah blog thing started and never really was able to figure out what it was all about. Now with a book I am really lost. Thanks.

I love the idea of making a montage of everyone's kiddos.  I can totally volunteer for this!  I made a cover for a book I made recently of photos I took and it was a checkerboard thing... here's a tinypic version of it if you wanna see what I mean... the size of the pics would depend on how many photos we could scrape together...

Lajolla- that's awesome.  I love it!

lajolla, That looks awesome! Great idea!

goldenmama

Fantastic!

I talk with Brook so I will ask her about pictures to use in the book. I know she would probably like to do the rest of her story before the book is done.

Thanks for doing this..I cannot wait to see the end product!

I like the checkerboard idea for the cover. I will try to update my blog entry sometime this week.

Thanks for taking on such a big project!

Last year was a break out year for celebrities having twins. It was so glorified in the media!

We made a blog telling our stories of REAL LIFE with twins and submitted to Oprah. We were contacted back, but we'll see if the show really ever does something with it. With the recent developments of the octuplets...the show may be sick of the "Multiples" thing.

Anyway...we all need to go back and update the stories, or let new ones be entered. We want to make it into a book as well.

Think I got all that right.?

I think a collage! I could help with that. pre-babies, I used to design wedding albums, so I'm a whiz with a collage. (And aw, how sweet of yall to want to put my babies on the cover awww!)

ETA: ooh, never mind, I see lajolla beat me to it! (i wish i could see hers, but stupid tinypic is blocked at my stupid work.)
