The
first time I ever shared the Alphabet of Our Love journal, I had been blogging for less than a month, it was my 7th blog post and it was over 8 years ago - June of 2010. We've come a long way baby! After I gifted the journal to my #1 sweetie, which he loved by the way and I still see him occasionally flipping through it, he urged me to add it to my shop. He said that it would
This little journal is the gift I created for my sweeetie all those years ago to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.
That Was Then...
...And This Is Now
With 27 pages: a dedication page for you to write a love note to your sweetie, followed by one page for each letter of the alphabet, you're able to jot down a memory, a special moment, an unforgettable experience, a joke, a shared tenderness to celebrate the love of your life.
Here are some of the pages from the journal I gifted to my Mr. wRight:
The letters are placed randomly, one to a page, and there are a variety of font styles and colors so each page is a surprise. You can
find it here - with a choice from over 10 colors and even the opportunity to personalize the heart with your initials.
ALPHABET OF OUR LOVE
Today, I want to share pages from Alphabet of Our Love journals shared by two I Love It All Brand Ambassadors. I'm so honored to have these two ladies on my creative team! Not only will you be inspired by their innovative approach to using the alphabet to celebrate their love, you'll see that although Kate and Sarah are each using the same journal, in the end they have personalized it and made it their very own treasured keepsake, true one-of-a-kind gifts.
Meet Kate
First up is Kate Ware, a friend first from social media whom I have had the pleasure of meeting in real life and hosting in our home. She has the most adorable pups, is an amazing photographer and a crazy talented memory keeper.
Here's what Kate had to say when I asked her how she created this little treasure:
by using my hand writing, stamping the key words, using bits and baubles from different vendors, photos, and also asking Mike to play along and fill out some of the book as well (he’s a keeper!).
You can connect with
Kate on Instagram and you'll also see her lovely posts over on the
I Love It All Facebook page, too.
Meet Sarah
Next up is Brand Ambassador Sarah, who caught my eye with her super fun Happy Planner posts. I'm a planner girl, but of a different sort. I adore my Filofax and keep it more on the functional, non-decorated side, but if you're a fan of pretty stickers and getting stuff done then you should definitely check out Sarah's IG.
Here's what Sarah says:
I'm not working through my journal in any certain order, just as ideas pop into my head!
Sarah will be gifting the Alphabet of Our Love to her husband this Valentine's Day and over the next few weeks she'll be sharing a few pages with her followers. I am so looking forward to seeing how this little journal evolves and you will be, too.
Check in with
Sarah on her Instagram page and also on the
I Love It All Facebook page, too.
ALPHABET OF OUR LOVE LIST IDEAS
If you've been wondering if you could ever come up with enough reasons for each and letter of the alphabet, have no worries...
I made a list! It's just a little something to get your creative juices flowing and to give you new ideas and insight on how to think outside the box. Don't let those letters intimidate you, jump in and you'll be surprised at how the words start to the flow once you jump in and begin.
JOURNALS FOR DAD, MOM + THE GRANDS
After several requests from customers, I even added an option to gift it to the other loved ones in our life...
Dad, Daddy, Mom, Mommy, Grandpa, Nana...you get the idea. Such a fun way to get the grandkids involved in a gift for Mamaw, even using their own handwriting if they can.
