The Annals of the extremely diverse, artistic, literary, and musical lifestyle of a Charlotte Mason education-loving family. Our philosophy, even though our children are all grown now, is to allow for time and space in each day to be present for those memorable moments; the ones both on and off the calendar.
"'Stay' is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary."

Handmade book of letters
...For my nephew in Iraq. Letters and notes were contributed by all of the family members who were at our
home for Independence Day, including his parents and two sisters. I hand-bound them and made them into a hardback, cloth-covered book. (click to enlarge)
(Endpaper and front flyleaf)
I am adding in a few stamped illustrations, and still need to make a title label for the front of the book, but it's almost finished!

I especially enjoyed enlarging and reading the letter in the last picture. Just beautiful!
I don't know personally anyone 'over there,' but we pray for our troops every night, for success, safety, and spiritual life. May your nephew be kept close in his Heavenly Father's hand.
What a neat idea! I am sure he will treasure these letters!
