10 Journals Down ??? to go....

Can you guess what I have been doing? Journals, journals, journals everywhere. I have to confess that I am loving doing this. My sweet hubby went out and bought me 10 notebooks. They are spiral but how was he to know that I wanted composition books. He was so kind to take the lead and get me the notebooks that I could not resist making them, just this way. Because the front covers and back covers were of a lighter weight chip board I had to use four sheets of card stock for each book. I have been saving this Maud Humphrey calendar since 1999 to use on something special. I loved the prints so much. So I got out my handy exacto knife and began to cut. It hurt, a little to finally cut it apart but I believe the books will be a blessing to someone.

I have contacted the hospital where I got my mammogram last time and I am anxiously waiting for a call back. I think I am on the right track because I feel really "good" about this project. I am going to donate them to the hospital for patients who are struggling with cancer.

I want to put something on the inside to encourage them to write out their:

Favorite childhood memories,

Where they grew up ,

Who influenced their lives the most,

Favorite poem or saying,

Who their favorite movie star is,

Their Victories & struggles,

Anything to get them to express their thoughts and memories on to paper.

When someone is gone we loose so much of our family history/our linage. Do you have any suggestions on how to get this across in a simple way?

I would appreciate any help I can get...

Thank you so much for stopping in. Your comments are so appreciated...Sharon
