My Daughter's Treasure Box and Journal

This is an altered box that will hold my daughter's mini-albums. Right now it has her ASD journal in it and will soon have her dada's baby picture mini-book in it. I've hesitated making mini-books because I don't want them scattered around, but this seems like the perfect system!Here are the first few pages of her Autism Journal. We discovered her challenges and started therapy a year ago this December. So it seemed fitting to use this idea from the Pinecone Press Book Club Book 'Calendars' to create this library card pocket accordian-spine book!

Remembering New Orleans

This is one of four layouts that I will be creating from our trip last August to New Orleans.












Journaling: We got up early and rode the St. Charles Street Trolley out to the Garden District. It was a beautiful morning with lots of sunshine and gradually got hotter! We spent the morning doing the walking tour of the houses and had coffee at the local cafe. We paid a visit to the Garden District Bookshop to get Gary a t-shirt and then walked through the Lafayette Cemetery #1. Creeeepy! We took the trolley back to the French Quarter in time for lunch!

Right journaling block: August 8, 2005 just three weeks before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans
