As you may know, my sister Alli designed and printed our wedding invitations a couple of years ago, and since then Andrew and I have been telling her that she’s going to be the next big thing.\u00c2\u00a0 While we may be slightly biased, I do think it’s undeniable that Alli has amazing talents that produce beautiful, visually yummy designs.<\/p>\n

It turns out she’s been working on an alphabet book for Griffin for the past eight months, and it arrived in the mail two days ago.\u00c2\u00a0 If my socks could have been knocked off literally, they would have shot straight across the room.\u00c2\u00a0 She got it “published” through Shutterfly, so it’s a real, hardcover book, and it could not be more beautiful.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s so beautiful, in fact, that I’m not letting Griffin touch it.\u00c2\u00a0 He can only look at it from a distance until his proclivity for eating books subsides.\u00c2\u00a0 I wish I could post the whole book, but until it’s really published (and I seriously think it could be!) I’ll share a few of my favorite pages from The Incredible Edible Alphabet<\/em> by Alli Stocco.<\/p>\n
