For the past 2 years, ever since we got the boys, I have been scribbling on little pieces of paper- the cute things they say, milestones they've hit, details about their birthday parties, vacations and camping trips, and that sort of thing. I wanted to tie them all together into a memory journal that they could someday look back on. Ok, I know most guys aren't so sentimental, but maybe someday their wives will appreciate me for it. (I'm hoping I have the technical know-how to download a picture to this, so you can see how cute these are!) I bought these cute lime green and aqua blue journals with appliqued monkeys on them at one of my favorite places, the $1 section at Target! Attached little tags with their names on them and tied them on with 2 kinds of ribbon. I found the ribbon cheap at Michael's, another of my favorite places, and how lucky was I to find blue and green camo ribbon and lime green ribbon with monkeys on it?! I tied the ribbon onto the elastic that holds the book shut, so there isn't the problem of having to untie the ribbons every time I want to write in them. I think they turned out cute and definitely look like they cost more than $1! Now if I can just find the time to keep up with writing in them :)
