I started a new journal project last night.  I was watching Martin laugh and laugh on the telephone as he spoke to our neighbor, and somehow his small gesture completely overwhelmed me.  The new journal I want to keep will be using the {Love Letter} from my shop.  (I chose the blue and white diamond Italian paper.)

This journal is for him.

I’m going to write one page every month and include a photograph taken some time during the same month.  This project feels very doable, which of course translates into:  Katie squirming in her seat wondering when, oh when October will get here because she’s ready.

I am just beyond anxious to turn the page and write another note!  Tick tock, tick tock.

Okay.  Exit the over-enthusiasm.  You know – it just feels so good to have a year-long project especially for somebody else. Here is entry one, page one:

This love letter journal includes 11 pages of blank lines beside the poem that weaves through bits of love and admiration.  If I do one each month, I’ll have a sweet little gift for our wedding anniversary next August.
