Hi there! This is Donna Kert for Big Picture Scrapbooking. Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my new class.

Hey, since you're here, I'd like to share a little secret with you. Are you listening? Shhh, don't tell anyone, because it's Just Between Us.

I believe that journaling is a powerful and enriching life experience. I've kept many different types of journals throughout the years, but there is one in particular that is especially meaningful to me. These are the shared journals that I keep with some very special people in my life: my kids. I've had the opportunity to connect with my children and capture this relationship within the pages of our shared secret notebooks. I have evidence of their growth, their spirit, their minds and their hearts as they grow from children into adolescents. I have asked and answered questions, planned dates for time together, learned things I never knew, offered advice and even celebrated stuff, both big and small.

Keeping a shared journal isn't just for kids, however. It's something that can be adapted to any relationship, whether a child or an adult, and whether they live near or far away. A journal partner can really be anyone that you want to share time and keep a close connection with. So whether you are new to journaling or have been writing in a diary for years, our classroom will offer you inspiration, tips and ideas, with a fun and easy approach to keeping a shared journal with your special someone. You will also find two bonus handouts to make it even more fun.

I really love my journals and all that they represent. I love that I have a documented journal of life from different perspectives as it's happening. I also love that I have a creative and interactive way to make others feel as special as they are…and I think that's big! Plus, I think it's really fun too. I hope you will join me for some times Just Between Us. I can't wait to get started.
