I love doing art projects with my girls. These journals are one of our latest projects. They are filling them up with their favorite things…notes from friends, cute stories, things they are thankful for, pictures they cut out of magazines, etc. I think it will be really interesting for their future kids to look at and see what they were like when they were growing up:)

Such a fine idea...and they are all so creatively made.
Making things with one's children is such a wonderful way of spending time - I love that too. :))

Your comments are too sweet!
Stephanie,
Most of the other pages are just journaling...short stories they have written, etc. I am sure they will decorate more of the pages though. I will have to take more pictures once they are finished:)
Thanks so much for the sweet comments! xox

Those journals are SOOO darn cute! I've been trying to figure out a way to do something similar with my little girls *and* make it look cute and haven't come up with anything yet. Did you make the actual books yourself too?

Hi!
Love your blog!!! I saw your super cute dolls on Pinterest and looked at your etsy site. Did you make your own pattern or did you purchase it? If so, where did you get the pattern. I'd like to make a doll like that for my daughter for christmas. They are adorable!!! My email is addiewhitephotography@gmail.com

Aww...thanks Amanda! We made the covers out of chipboard. The polka dotted one we covered with fabric using modge podge. If you have any other questions, let me know:) xox

My little ones are all grown up but I want to make one of these for my own "Style Journal". I Pinned it on my "Want to Make" board.
