Mama and Me Book


A couple weeks ago I was perusing Pinterest and found the "Mama & Me" Journal. I immediately thought of my daughter and granddaughter. So, DS is going to visit his sister tomorrow and will take the new journal to them! 

The idea of the "Mama & Me" Journal is for the mom and child to write letters back and forth to each other. I wish I had thought of this when my kids were young.


I used retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper to cover a Composition Book, then I printed off the "Mama & Me" graphic from Mama Jenn's website (there is also a graphic for a boy journal). I covered the journal with clear laminating film. Do you think my daughter and granddaughter will like it?!!!

  1. I think they will love it....both when they receive it and in twenty years when your daughter is a grandma herself maybe. :)

    1. You could start now, Lena! You could write them notes that you read to them and they could draw YOU pictures! Oh, and they will be writing soon enough!
