Paige's first recording session was on March 25, 2006. She was 2.5 years old and there were no plans to make a CD. Then over the course of the next year there were several other recording sessions. So in late summer of 2007 it was decided to collect the best songs of her recordings and release them as an album

The art for the CD label and the inside of the jacket were both drawn by Paige.

And this was the first time in the Studio's history that it contracted an outside service to do some of the audio editing. Attic Works Studio was given the task of adding noise reduction and adjusting the levels of each track so they were uniform throughout the entire CD.

The first post on this blog back on August 23, 2007, was to announce the creation of the blog. The second post was about the release of this album. So it is one of the catalysts that got this blog started.

Since the release of this album, Paige has had a recording session almost every month to record material for her next album, due out this fall.
