a sweet keepsake treasure
love from
mom

a few years ago for
Valentine's Day
I gave each of my girls a journal
{that I started exactly one year before that Valentine's Day}
xoxo
I wrote in each daughter's journal
everyday for 365 days
dated each new entry
{never missed a day}
wrote
why I loved them
what made them special
things they did that day that I so appreciated
listed their gifts
and
how they have blessed me
xoxo
each daughter's journal
was unique and personal to them
xoxo
it made for a very special
Valentine's Day
xoxo
365 reasons why I love you
give it a try
it will make next years Valentine's Day very special
for the love ones in your life

Hi Kora -
What a gret idea. You must have had a wonderful time doing this for the girls. Ok, so I know someday they will come to REALLY appreicate this. I'll have to start one for the hubbie.
Just wanted to let you know that your Olympic posting has given me the name for my next project that got underway during the Super Bowl last nite. Hope you don't mind if I add a link to my posting. I also have a link in there for Luc over in the Attic 24. If you don't already visit her, she is totally worth a moment.
Off to finish my posting.
Hugs, Kate - The Garden Bell xoxoxoxoxo
WHAT AN AMAZING GIFT!!! That is so cool Koralee. How priceless! I am sure they are enjoying reading their books again & again!
Having grown up middle of 3 girls I LOVE seeing your girls. I still wish I could give Annie a sister...but what if it were another boy...that just might kill me :)
Beautiful Post! I have books going for my kids but I can't imagine writing in them everyday...you are way too amazing! I love amazing!
What a beautiful idea...I'm gonna try that with my boys...do you think they'll think it's too mushy :o)
Your daughters are lucky to have you in their lives, what a precious mom you are! :) Very creative mom as well, my mom is also very creative and I know I love it when she gives me artsy gifts!
Oh Koralee, what a precious treasure you have given your three daughters - and each one is beautiful like their mother.

Very sweet idea, as all your ideas are! It looks like you checked out the beautiful wall at the Vancouver Art Gallery. I loved it!
