date night

I think I've mentioned my new found love of kraft, mixed papers, vintage book pages and sewing haven't I? I know I referenced it in my last newsletter {did you get yours?}. If you aren't getting my newsletter, where I share free downloads as well as Etsy shop updates and coupon codes, you can sign up in the sidebar.

Last year {Christmas 2009}, I made a Date Night journal. It was a Christmas gift for Gordon...I coordinated having Nana and Oma take alternate months to babysit as well as new eateries, and old favorites, for us to dine at. We never really did stick to the restaurant plan, so it became a joke between us. What's the plan? OH, oooooookay let's eat somewhere else.

When all the gifts had been opened on Christmas morning 2010, Gordon looked at me and asked where his Date Night present was? Hmmmm. Don't worry, in the meantime I've planned our Date Nights and the babysitting by Oma and Nana. But, I had no journal to Why? Much more fun to make that decision while we're in the car driving into Knoxville.

I'll add some personal thoughts {which I'm not sharing here} about our dates to the January - March pages and will keep adding to this throughout the year. I'll share more updates with you as I create my pages. If you have any questions, just leave it in the comments or contact me personally.

Here are some newer versions of this mini book if you'd like to document your own Date Nights this year! Or anything really. And I'm always happy to construct custom mini-albums to suit your tastes and needs. What would you use this mini-album for?
