Focus on my daughter

 Print

I saw a project somewhere (magazine maybe?) awhile back and I so wish I could remember where I saw it. It was a notebook that was passed back and forth between a mother and daughter with notes to each other. I loved the idea and its been rattling around in my brain ever since. I sat down yesterday and today and made a notebook. I tried to keep it a secret from Isabella and had these grand plans to sneak it under her pillow, but she practically lives in my craft room with me (which I mostly love) so she immediately saw the bright colors and the girl on the cover and wanted to know what it was. She is SO excited to get started. And so am I. I have the covers made and printed some pretty lined paper on cardstock to put inside. I figure we can color, write, draw, decorate, whatever we want as we pass it back and forth. Even if you don't want to do anything fancy, I think this would be a neat way to try to communicate with your child. Right now, Isabella has no secrets, but I bet she has feelings that she might not know how to say out loud. I know she is lonely because her neighborhood friend moved away. Anyway, at the very least, it will be fun to have a secret together!
