WHY YOU NEED THIS JOURNAL | Journal Ideas | Journal & Chat

I love this so much. When my mom passed away, and when my grandma passed away, we made cookbooks of all the recipes with some of them still being in their own handwriting. This year for Christmas a dear friend has passed away, and I am making cookbooks with some of her recipes for all my friends.

Lovely collection of family recipes and memories Lisa. I have created one in an old binder for my boys for when I am no longer here. I have added pics of my boys with their Gran, which they cherish now :) You do need to think about those who are left behind and create for them :)

That’s so lovely! I love the idea of adding photos like that too ❤️

[@MameysMedley]

Yes!!!! I totally understand why this is so important. My mom passed away 2 years ago and her recipe box is such a treasure. Just seeing her handwriting brings me peace and joy.

[@itsonlypaper]

I’m sorry to hear that. I can imagine it’s a comfort having that. Just as food is such a comfort and something you do out of love often, it’s almost like something you can pass on. A little bit of love and comfort ❤️ Lots of love xxx

Many years ago my mother who passed 10 years ago made each of her five children a memory book. Black and white photos and a history of our family and members. News print copies, etc. We have deep roots in the military , etc. its rather plain but rich history. In the back were the recipes, what was so very special is they were copies of the actual recipe cards so that we actually have our grandmother’s handwriting. I love that the copy although clear shows the faded index card. I treasure it but keep it safe and have a book which contains the recipes so that the other may remain a keepsake just for looking at.

@@GeorgieGirl1012 Wow, so much thought went into those gifts. What treasures to have 💗

[@emilykoch3104]

This reminds me of the gift I did for my brothers wedding. I had custom cutting boards made with our opa’s dish and our grandmother apple pie recipes! It really is special those recipes!

[@itsonlypaper]

That's a great idea! What a special gift ❤️

Love this SO MUCH! I’m so glad you decided to keep the original brownie recipe. The marks and stains are memories! ❤

[@itsonlypaper]

Yes! Thank you! I wasn’t going to but I thought of all the Christmas’s it’s been used and those marks are part of the memories 😊

I was lucky enough to get some beautiful planners (Webster’s Pages)from my local Tuesday Morning in clearance before it closed down and have been loving using them as journals. I have been working on a bright and cheerful one just like yours. 😊

[@itsonlypaper]

They make such great journals 🙂
