Journals, Sketch Books & More

Here's just a few of one of the journals I own.  I buy them when I see them and like the way they look.  Sometimes it's the cover, the shape, ribbons, colors or the pages inside.  I write all kinds of things.  The one with the peacock on it is full of quotes, Bible verses, and some poems, along with my on little sayings.  I also do some illustrating.  I wanted to create these for my children and grandchildren.  It is a way of leaving a part of me for them to have to know me a little better and remember me.  I also enjoy doing it.  It's ok if you're not really a writer or can draw because you're leaving it for people who love you and will be blessed by something that was made for them.  The one with the animals, trees and flowers was written to Lillie Catherine before she was born.  The two little books on the bottom have list of things I'm looking for when I shop, measurements, notes of things I see when I'm out that I might want to do, and so forth and so on. So give it a try maybe it would be for you too.

  1. Love writing in journals. Never really thought to write to my children. Thanks Pastor Jacque for the idea I now know what to do with all the extra journals I have!
