A Mother's Journal

I can hardly believe that it's been so long (almost a month), since I've had anything to share. It sure felt good to get back to some crafting. This is a little something that's been rolling around in my head all summer long and I've only now gotten to actually bring it to life. I purchased the stamp this past Spring and I've had this little journal from the dollar store in my stash for a while, just waiting to be altered.

When you are a new mom, life can get so busy. I thought a little journal like this would be a perfect gift for jotting down those precious first moments in a baby's life, like first smile, details from doctors visits... or even just thoughts, hopes and dreams for a precious new life. It's a nice small size that can be tucked into a pocket of a diaper bag to keep with you all the time. Then Mom or Dad can write little things down as they happen, making them less likely to be forgotten. Babies grow so fast and remembering their first moments is so special.
