What a beautiful way to document your very special time with your daughter. And you are right……the best things in life are definitely the moments we get to share with the people we love!

What a precious TN to have those pages of awesome days spent with your child. It’s so important to do your journal soon after the trip while moments are freshly remembered for documenting too. I made a journal of my own trip to Chicago for Creativation years ago with a great group of friends from work and I’m so glad I completed it soon after back home because it’s easy to put it off and then never comes to be. Your tips were spot on and the journal is so lovely and sweet. Thanks for sharing and I’m so happy you had this time with Jamie too.

There is nothing more precious than the efforts made to spend some time together. Looks like a great trip. I’m sure Jamie appreciated those few days as well. Thanks for the tips and sharing such a special memory.

Beautiful memory book. I get your heart and choking up. I cherish moments and memories of my time with my daughter over any “thing”! So happy you had a getaway. Jamie is talented like her mother. Very excited to see Jamie’s career soaring❤️

What a wonderful TN, Annette! So fun that your daughter and husband surprised you with the trip to Chicago. Spending time with your daughter is always priceless with lots of memories. Love your process on how to get everything organized and put in the journal, even though you had to eliminate some pages. Still a lasting memory that you can look back on. Thank you for sharing and take care!

What a wonderful birthday gift from your husband and daughter. It is obvious that you thoroughly enjoyed every experience of your trip. Thank you for sharing!

What a poignant, beautifully stated, marvelous treasure you have created of those irreplaceable moments we spend with our adult children and other family, esp. if we don't see them as often as before. You have totally captured the love, affection, respect, and warmth you two share. Such delightful memories and a gorgeous album. Thank you for sharing (and yes, I'll stop now, because I'm tearing up as I write)... Hugs and Love. Ann DeHart

What a beautiful memory, I know the feeling you Boeing choked up about it all. My daughter lives in Curaçao for nearly 7 years now and I hate it when she goes back after she visits us here. The good news is that’s she is moving back to the Netherlands in June so we’re very happy

[juliepoole]

I got choked up for you. It’s a beautiful little album full of warm beautiful memories. Than you so much for sharing with us. It’s just fabulous xxx

Awesome job documenting all the special moments of this trip. Love the great balance of journaling, photos and ephemera to build the story. Love it! ❤️

[cherylwells]

I felt like I was there on the trip too - You have a wonderful sense of story-telling your journeys. Very happy that you had a great trip, and wonderful times and memories with Jamie.

[britori]

What a beautiful journal. Thanks for the great tips. I take a trip with my daughter next month and am inspired to make a journal when I return. Congrats to Jamie on the published works. How proud you must be.

[mckost]

So awesome to see your work again. You are so gifted with creating. Love it and for sure you had a wonderful trip.
