I can't believe it has been so many years since those memories were first engraved on our brains.
Every day I send a note with a little sketch for our little Miss A in her snack bag. I want her to know that each day I think of her whilst she is enjoying school, and whilst I am not with her.Some as you can see have been drawn in a mad rush because there have been a few days where we're one foot out the door and I have forgotten her note of Love from us.
I started this since her first day at Junior Kindergarten, Sept 2008.A whole year has passed and the tradition is still going strong...but now has come the day to organise.
I'm planning on making a special memory book for her with all the notes in...
What would you do with them all?

These are so beautiful. I know they will be treasured.
Thanks Kwana,I hope they will.
I don't know what to do with them, but definetely "throwing it away" is not one of them :-)
Oh Char, that is so beautiful!
It reminds me a bit of the box of letters Francesco keeps on his side of the bed... it's a box full of letters and scribbels from me. We've been living long-distance for over two years and I wrote almost every day, made little sketches, icluded little articles I picked up or some dry leafs... gathering stuff and sending it ff oce or twice a week (depending on the bulk...)
Now that he's not home for a week, I've found myself going through the bedside box, and it was a real travel through my memories...
But enough about me, you're a really special person for giving your daughter such a precious gift!
And I'm sure you'll find a brilliant way of making it into an awsome keepsake!
Hearts,

I think a treasure chest would be fun - like put all the ones from a certain year together. did you put a date on them?
Little notes for the soul! What a fantastic idea!
Have a lovely weekend!

So sweet... The scrapbook/memory book will be such a treasure.
How beautiful is that! Little girls always heart those lovely details. I remember when I was little my mom made me a little bag to carry my books. I loved that bag so much that I carried it everywhere.
I think the idea of a memory book is so cute! You can decorate together, like a scrapbook.
You're such an special and loving mom, and love your idea!
Have a lovely weekend!

Wow, those are amazing sketches! You better keep those for her! She's so lucky to have a mom who loves her so much. :)
Thank you for following my blog and entering my giveaways!!!
oh my word...the coolest idea.......I love writing little notes on napkins, because I certainly cannot draw cool pictures like you! :)
the memory book is an awesome idea....your child will cherish it forever!! xo
What a beautiful tribute to your daughter. It will be so wonderful to see how they change as she gets older. Thank you so much for your support and comments on our new adventure. It has taken me a little bit to get up to speed on this blogging adventure. i am new at it. I can't wait to visit you again.

Oh my gosh, those are so beautiful and such a sweet idea! I might have to borrow that when my little one heads off to school.
Maybe put them all in an album, you could put a few on each page, and some might warrant special notes of why you drew something, etc. That's the only idea I've got right now.
Thanks for visiting my blog, I'm glad you did b/c it brought me over here, sheer beauty!
What a wonderful thing you've been doing! No matter how you'll choose to preserve them, they will be a treasure for your little girl! Hugs, Silke
What a touching tribute!!!
I've posted a 9-11 memorial art as well, hope you will have a chance to visit:

Wow what a beautiful thing to do! That would really be a treasure for your daughter! You should really make a book out of them. I would love to see the book. And I would have loved to have it too ;)
wow!!! Those are CUTE CUTE CUTE! i bet you could make something really fabulous with them! there are so many and they are all really good... i cant wait to see what you come up with!
I can see the treasure chest idea working, with dates on the notes. Maybe in the shape of a mail box? Or a special "Note-book" - like an artists book or journal, with little sayings and quotes or messages, like a scrapbook. Lots of ideas and I'm sure you'll find some creative way to keep these special memories.
It's a fabulous idea, by the way, and very important for children to receive. You're a great mom.
i love your idea of a memory book for this treasury of little love notes!! thanks for visiting my blog....i enjoyed your sweet comment!! :))
What an adorable idea and they will make a terrific album! I used to pop notes in my daughter's suitcases and books if they were going to be away from home. Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog!
A treasure for the life time... lovely idea... You should really make a album out of it :-)
This is very touching, I can see them in a treasure chest or in a album, both ideas are great.
what a nice mommy! Those are wonderful sketches!
As your young daughter gets older these will become more precious. How wonderful. Such a great Mom.
Love you work!
What a lovely idea. You really must keep them, in a nice box somewhere.
