Digital Paper Chain

My parents and my husband's parents live pretty far away, as in across the country far away. We try to send lots of pictures and video so that they can see their granddaughter as often as possible even though it's not in person. For Christmas, we will actually be able to visit, and everyone is really excited.

Now, when I was a kid, I loved to make paper chains. I would cut the thin strips of paper and tape them into an interlocking chain, one chain for each day until Christmas. I did one too for my wedding with pictures from bridal magazines, counting down the days until the ceremony. That alone should be evidence enough that I still love paper chains.

Today, my sister-in-law sent me a text rejoicing that it is only 10 days until we see them, and I got to thinking. Why not create a digital paper chain-a photographic countdown with pictures of everyone's favorite BabyGirl. So far, it's been a big hit. Since BabyGirl is currently down for a nap, her stunt double will have to fill in.

If you'd like to create a digital photo paper chain, grab your little one, four-legged friend, or love of your life and find creative ways to take a digital picture near a number representing the number of days left until your exciting event. Here are some other examples:
