In lieu of a birth announcement to introduce Gabriel to our family and friends, we chose to do something special. We created a PowerPoint presentation, with music, sound effects and pictures of Gabriel with those people who have met him in his first 5 days of life. We waited a week after he was born to start working on the project, so that we could take plenty of digital photos and have an abundance of material. This is our beautiful child’s introduction to the world. Of course, I will announce his birth enthusiastically!
I have spent some free time in the last few days burning CDs. I thought, ten for my family, ten for Heather’s, more or less. The reality is often far removed from the anticipated, I assure you. The end result? After consulting with Heather’s mom to be sure we hadn’t missed anyone, we burned 50 CDs and family-specific customized labels. I produced two unique CDs so that the material was pertinent to the side of the family who would be viewing the content. Between feedings and diaper changes, when Gabriel was sleeping or babbling contently in his bassinet, we worked on his birth announcement.
Only time will tell how well our efforts work out, as computers are funny creatures, so to speak. What operates flawlessly on one PC may not function on another. Hopefully, everyone is able to navigate the content and this little project doesn’t fall flat on its metaphorical face. We wanted to create something a bit distinctive, unique and contemporary.
Will this go over like a lead zeppelin? I don’t know yet… but hey, did you know that is how the band got its name? Robert Plant said his new and as-yet unsigned band would probably go over like a lead Zeppelin…. And the rest is history.
