An Inspiring website

http://www.giftoffamilywriting.com/Thegiftoffamilywriting.htm
This is a beautiful website! I just oohed and ahhed over what this family has done. They have books about writing and keeping a nature journal, as well as a magazine for girls, and it all looks very beautiful.
I picked out this page to share: http://www.giftoffamilywriting.com/Drawingfromlife!.htm
It so reminds me of when I was younger, and the nature notebooks we kept. I remember on one car trip we took our notebooks and stopped various places to pick up "samples" to glue in, including a piece of cotton we picked from the side of the road! Besides what we could put in our notebooks, we had rock and shell collections, and several books to help us identify them. One of my favorite books was a guide to wildflowers.
Later on, my mother had us keep a notebook in which we wrote a scripture and a sketch of something we saw outside every day.
