journal, project 8, & good mail

I heard Bella crying and could ignore it no longer. It was all because she couldn't figure out the computer. Usually there is a link to her favorite sites in the link bar, but this time she was trying to enter it in the address bar. Her problem was she didn't push enter and couldn't figure out why nothing was happening. I so wish she would think it out longer before resulting into tears, but to her defense she had asked me for help and I told her I would be there shortly. It had been about 5 minutes. I quickly helped her with the problem and when i walked out I saw this (except there was not X across it.)


It cracked me up and I thought to myself I must scan this and keep it. She will love seeing this one day. Not long after I came down looking for something and noticed the page had been changed to this...

When I went back to look for the first entry I noticed it had been crossed out. The whole thing just made me laugh. I don't know why i didn't think about it before, but I need to get her an official journal. She loves to write and am just now understanding that she wants a place to put her feelings. So healthy for a girl. I hope it will continue and that one day she will be an amazing writer. I love it when she chooses to express herself this way.


Here is my project this week. I found this vase at target for $3 on clearance. I didn't know what I was going to use it for, but certainly couldn't pass up that deal. The more I got looking at it I just kept seeing it in my studio holding beautiful flowers. So I used rub-ons on the outside to make me smile even more. Very easy and quick, but what a difference it makes.


Here is the good mail that I mentioned earlier this week, but didn't have a photo to show. Darling cards from Michelle, Jill, and Amie. Tons of Ribbon from Kristi (can't believe how much) and an amazing homemade book from Amy h. Thank you again for thinking of me.

Also some more birthday good mail I received throughout the week. Birthday wishes from Emily and Kristen, and a delightful making memories kit from Amy S. Thank you! You've all help make my birthday wonderful.

I love seeing all of your birthday mail! And your embellished vase -- too cute.

I'm so glad her blackened note of dismay was changed to a brighter blue one of content...the first was disheartening. Life does sometimes leaves us "black and blue" often all in the same hour. She WILL love to look back on those scribbles.

You were smart to copy it. I love kids thoughts especially on paper. Taylor is great at expressing herself on paper (and now the computer). Isn't it funny how the little thing such as the computer working made her day great? So cute.

So jealous you got a book by Amy. I bet it is fabulous. And LOVE the vase!

It cracks me up that Bella was worked up enough that she had to write her feelings down. I think she's onto something with that.

It looks like you've had a full week of good birthday mail, that's just the best!

I forgot to say how cool the vase looks. You'll have to post more pictures of your studio as you add things like this.

Rub ons are hands down my favorite thing ever! I love what they did for your very cute and oh so pink vase!

I love how her day went from worst to best by getting the computer to work! We have those same extreme moods in our house- the joy of girls!

That vase is great. I love how you embellished it. I don't think I would have ever thought of doing something like that. I love that your daughter is mature enough to write her feelings out. A writer in the making, for sure.

Bella cracks me up with her writing. What a gift at her age!

Your vase is adorable. The rub ons make it even better!

I love it when you tell us what the girls are doing as well as yourself. The journal for Bella is a super idea and the fact that you're going to scan her writings to show her later is so fun. Love that vase with your stick-on letters. What a deal that was.

You definitely have to get that girl a journal. I loved writing in my journal as a girl and it turns out I love writing. Alexis loves to clip anything she finds and paste it in her scrapbook, but writing is still somewhat of a novelty to her.
