Hi Cuties,<br /><br />

I have an idea for Christmas/any occasion presents, for siblings.<br /><br />
You know I made some journal covers with the lighthouse on them in projects. Well, I found this design of 3 sisters and had this thought. Why not make each of them a journal, encouraging each to write memories, about their lives together? Memories of childhood, encouragement/support from and to one another, in the bad times (we all have them, so it may be good therapy too), etc.<br /><br />
In my design in Projects, if you haven't seen it or commented, please do, as I will be stitching it over. The skin color called for a light peach, which I stitched. It looked bad, so I stitched over it with a light tan/khaki. I'm not sure if its any better, but I don't want to stitch anymore, until the verdict is in so please judge honestly.<br /><br />
The 3 sisters design may not work for you, if you have more or less, maybe you could just put Sisters. Or if you have brothers, some other design, on the cover for your journal to each.<br /><br />
I thought this would make a special gift, from you to them. What do you think? Did I give you an idea for Christmas, or any occasion, gift? I hope so. XO-Toogie

A great idea for me- and I have 2 sisters so the design is perfect. Thanks for sharing. Hugs. Nan W

That's exactly what I wanted, someone to use this idea! Maybe the next Christmas or occasion, you could all exchange books for awhile, and read each others stories. You may find that something you did without thought, meant so much to them and maybe they never could express, except in writings. Good luck and if you need help constructing the journal, well I'm here.-Toogie

I meant to write, 'constructing the journal cover'

Toogie, I like your idea of a sibling journal, but please do not give the name of the website you got this particular design from as there are copyright infringements on that site.

I will go back and edit. I would have thought they would have appreciated the acknowledgement or publicity. Thank you mops.

They might like the publicity, but we cannot risk Cute being associated with a website that does not obey copyright and licensing laws.

Oh my,I didn't know they had done something like that. (Notice I did remove the name)

Thank you. I am always surprised when websites risk everything like that. Thanks again for helping us out.

I think you may have started a flood of ideas for sibling gifts. I was thinking it would be great for a family photo album too.
