One more day until the Love Letters Giveaway!

Win a book to write love letters to your kid (or partner, I’m not picky!) over the years and give it to them someday. I’m making mine for my daughter. I write a letter every year on her birthday to chat about what’s been happening over the last 365.
***
To win:
1. Follow me
2. Tag a friend who might want to join in.

Winner drawn tomorrow! Good luck!

Win a custom made Love Letters book to start a beautiful tradition for your kids.
*** Every year I write a letter to my daughter on her birthday so she will have a record of her life, and ours, when she is older. And you know me, I think handwriting is so personal that it just adds that layer. You can win your own Moleskin notebook to start your own tradition, complete with your child’s name and birthdate written in calligraphy on the fly leaf. ***
To enter you just need to:
1. Follow me
2. Tag a friend who might love a personal gift.
That’s all, folks! Draw will be on my daughter’s birthday on June 21.

**Giveaway!**
I’m so touched by how touched you all are about the letters to my daughter that I write. So I want to give one of you a customised book to do the same. ***
Win this customised soft cover Moleskin notebook with gold Love Letters on the cover and your child’s name and birth date on the inside. The rest is for you to complete over the years.
***
How to win:
1. Follow me. That’s a given, right?!
2. Tag a friend who you think would like this too.
Done-skis. ***
Winner will be drawn on my daughter’s birthday, Thursday, June 21st.

Every year I sit down and write a letter to my daughter on her birthday. Stuff about what she’s like, what we’re like, our relationships, what’s happened over the year... you know, all the stuff you ask your parents and they can never remember. It’s a fascinating exercise to pick out the standouts over the course of a year and think back to where you were 365 days before. My hope is that she will get this book on her 18th or 21st birthday and it will be a time capsule of sorts. Anyway, just wanted to share that and reveal what my handwriting actually looks like 😂 (shocking, right?!). And to thank @tomsstudio for making a pen worthy of the task.

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” Fred “Mr. Rogers” Rogers nailed it. #mrrogers

Raise your hand if you’re a serial underestimator of the amount of time it takes to do something. I am. For instance, this move has taken what feels like years (it’s been eight days) but of course, I pushed everything aside in favour of packing, unpacking and resettling. But now, I’m at my desk, beside a HUGE window in the evening light, finally putting pen back to paper. And man, it feels damn good.

Think I’m gonna like this new studio of mine... #movingonup

Signs, signs, everywhere are signs... who can finish the rest of that tune?
