My Diary of Personal Selections, Emotions & Memories of a Lifetime

 Dear Friends and Followers:

Thank you for the overwhelming responses received last week via my blog concerning my latest venture, designing and creating a girl’s diary. The expected title is as follows: My Diary of Personal Selections, Emotions & Memories of a Lifetime.

This diary will lend itself toward allowing girls to write entries of their lifelong memories, and not necessarily 365 daily entries. I don’t want it to be too large.

I believe that girls all over will benefit from the entry writings over a period of time. A few pages of the diary will have places for Special Day Entries that will read — (I began my morning…., By afternoon…., My day ended…..), but overall the entry headings were tailored to comment on personal experiences about everyday girl-like topics over time. This diary will allow girls to express their thoughts or feelings about various topics or experiences from ages 10-13 years.

Diary owners use their diaries in a variety of ways, so I will be curious to learn how girls will use this one. Whatever is decided will be quite personal and unique to each girl.

Did you know that some have referred to those who keep diaries as diarists? Most diaries are intended to remain personal and private, but that isn’t necessarily the case for this particular diary. The headings are very innocent and pure, so parents won’t mind their girls spending time writing, “Dear Diary.”

Another note that I want to bring to your attention is this: Whenever you browse through the pages of this diary, please pay close attention to the illustrations. My 10 year old daughter, Kelly, created the drawings, as I wanted to keep the diary simplistic and enjoyable, but with a little girl’s touch.

I hope that you will enjoy the illustrations, and bright pink colors. The time spent sharing this project with my daughter will be a long lasting memory of a lifetime.

It is my desire and plans to have the diary available within the next month, but most certainly by the Christmas holidays. It will be available via CreateSpace.com, and my website (PayPal). If it is purchased via my website, it will also include an ink pen and bookmark with same bright colors.
