Mary Emma Allen has some great thoughts on keeping a Quilting & Patchwork journal on her excellent blog. If you wanted to make a really memorable journal for this you could make your own & give it a gorgeous mini quilted cover.

I’m not sure if you saw the comment left by Gayla on my Christmas Journal Gifts for Yourself blog entry. But I thought the idea of giving a “Grandmother’s Journal” and “Grandfather’s Journal” for Christmas was just terrific. What a perfect way to let your grandparents know you’d love to learn their stories.
As far […]

After receiving our mail today hubby was reading out items of interest from a Christian bookstore catalogue. He misread something as ‘bible diary’ and I couldn’t help feeling interested. When I investigated I was a little disappointed that they did not in fact have a bible diary, but it got me thinking there must be […]
