The little book thingy at the bottom opens out to reveal journaling:One of the things I loved doing while I was pregnant with you was to think about your name. What should we call you? It's a big thing - a name. It's with you for life. My favourites were Josh, Jamie, Tyler, Charlie and Zane. Your Dad liked Michael, Patrick and Alexander. He was keen on you having a name that reflected the Link side of our family. But most of them are so German - Heinrich, Emmerich, Hans... He suggested Michael. We both liked that. We both liked Jamie too. Well, James. We thought you might want to be James when you're older. So, we had Michael Alexander, Michael James and James Michael. We only decided last weekend. I was so excited to finally have a name for you - James Michael Link! But sshhh... it's a secret until you're born. No-one else knows yet. 11 November 2005.
Jamie was born 6 days after I did this layout.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Thankyou Kathie...I had been wondering what the hidden journalling said..and now I know.
This one is certainly among my favourites....and I must admit I love the name (my brother is James too and he has a lovely gentle nature)

Another beautiful layout Kathie. I would love to see this whole album IRL. Your journalling is so well written. I know I say that about every page you do, but it's so true! Interesting to see your name choices too. Liam's middle name is James. Michael was on my list and Patrick and Alexander were the only two names Brett ever suggested. You made a beautiful choice by the way. James Michael is lovely.
gorgeous layout kathie. jamie will never doubt how loved and wanted he was by his mummy and daddy when he is old enough to understand about mummy's scrapbooking.
just gorgeous

The neutral colours are so soft and perfect Kathie. Love the circle idea and thanks for sharing the hidden journalling!
Beautiful layout Kathie!
I didn't realise his name was James. Always a good one coz it can be nick-named in so many ways... its Jaidyn's middle name.
